BAYOU COUNTRY + ZEEK + Hurricane = Threesome with Ida
@Bayou Country and @zeek are close to this hurricane.
Keep them in your prayers as they are both old fuks that cant run. The redX indicates their general location. Screen shots are current wind speeds and hourly precipitation. . |

Last year; hurricanes Laura and Delta hit, wiping out whole towns. Thousands without power for weeks. Many states sent trucks, crews, and supplies to restore power....they sent them immediately to help. Gov. Jon Bel Edwards turned most of those crews away at the state line, stating lack of COVID compliance. Because we know those power line workers are going to want to mingle and socialize in a town with no power, demolished homes, no A/C in the blistering humid heat, and party in the tent cities. |

Thanks.
I got everything from outside stowed away. Car is parked up the road because I'm on a river that will flood my property 3 or 4 feet. I'm on the North Shore so winds will decrease quite a bit before IDA gets to the Hammond area. This is the first major hurricane since I moved to Louisiana so I will see how she goes. If not for COVID, I would have left the area for a vacation somewhere. I contacted a company to install a full home backup generator but never heard back. I guess I will just install a portable 10,000 watt myself and get a small window air conditioner. |

Anyone is an area prone to storms or power outages needs one or two of these in their homes. I've used them for a long time now .
