Ida Incoming

[/pine]

I have empathy and sympathy for any and all having to endure dire circumstances of this storm...but I have neither for any of the idiots that needlessly put themselves in harms way just to capture videos of storm destruction etc...
IMO any so called "storm chaser" that gets killed by the effects of weather they did not need to be exposed to should have their graves marked with the following:...."I DIED BECAUSE I WAS STUPID"

It lands tomorrow, the 16th. anniversary of Katrina. The only family left living down there is a niece and nephew. The niece is in Houma and the nephew is in Madisonville. They are all at their mother’s who is in Covington, (North of Lake Pontchartrain, right where you want to be)

I am just North of Covington. Ida took out the power at 5:25 PM. I have most of my family here. We are fine until the propane runs out.

Heard there is catastrophic damage to the electric infrastructure...much of NO is without power... as of 10:14 PM there was still a live feed from an earthcam on Bourbon ST...

The power could be off in many areas for extended lengths of time...it is a miserable scenario to deal with the aftermath of a storm with no power usually horrendous humidity...

Thoughts and prayers for any and all that have to endure...we'll be thinking of you...

Terrible.

Hopefully the worst is behind you. Glad all people and animals are OK.

Good luck.
