Good morning. Just woke up. Storm update??? Please tell me she had a redhead temper and popped hot and fizzled quickly.

Down to category 3 now.

Storm surge (water) has been much less than expected, and the storm is not as big as Rita, but it may still be the most powerful to have made landfall in Louisiana.

Weather channel is showing video in Lake Charles. @Fin any news on your home?

My pistol shrimp has been a very busy critter overnight. He makes a much bigger mess than Andrew's tiger pistol.

"You should have cleaned the glass daddy!"

I wasn't after you but you are right!

 

[Katrina71]

You should see the sand sculpture in my tank. He's got the loudest snap of any pistol I've heard too.

Interesting. Showing a mako on the tracker in the storm. The great whites move away from storms on the tracker.

Just got word from my neighbor. Our neighborhood is pretty bad. All of the utility poles are down and he couldn’t walk across the street, but all the shingles on the east side of my house are gone. Down to plywood, but the house it is still standing. So I imagine the inside is a mess and we will have mold & mildew soon. He said we could not even get into the neighborhood right now until they remove all of the downed poles. I am three hours away and won’t be able to get home anyway until some cleanup is done to the roads.

My oak tree did not fall on the house and there was no flooding. I don’t know anything about my mom’s house. Thanks for all the well wishes. Looks like life will suck for a while.

A new roof is a pretty easy fix. Most importantly, y'all are safe.
