Default 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.

Right?
Fuggin' water falling from the skies..... when power goes out, water still works.
And people rush to buy it?

I buy stuff that don't fall from skies = snake bite medicine.

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.

That will run a couple of small A/C units, TV, fridge, lights.

I've been in several hurricanes and best advice I can give you is:
  • When you think you have thought of everything, you haven't.
  • If you've over prepared; all you have created is supplies to party on the following week.
  • If you've under-prepared; you have created a situation to meet new people.

Seek...remove all those loose things on your porch (and other locations similar)....they will become projectiles.

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 .
