Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Stay Safe.. My son lives in Erath. that is pretty close to Larry Meaux .
Hope Larry makes it OK.. My son and his wife (local gal) evacuated north about 30 miles and at a 35Ft MSL.

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Eye went right up the driveway. That was hours of bashing from the NE. Probably took out the shop doors. Now it will be hours from SW. That will get the barn and house garage doors. Nice and quite in NOLA. Will get an update as wind allows if Boyd made it thru the night. Keep praying for those who stayed. Stephen

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Report from Boyd who cut his way for 3/4 mile.
GOOD: House, and guest house standing, minor damage. Surge minimal. Race rig & house fine, car barn fine, generator running, blue car still ready for Indy. BAD: No trees standing except a dead oak, floating boat house roof in pool, boat beached on floating dock remains (totalled), AC units blown off pads, race shop doors and adjoining shed gone. Now a shelter in place chemical leak. Glad we left. That boat house was professionally built with wind brace etc. Data shows 137MPH for hours and we are at the end of a NE/SW river straight-away. I will take it, get some pics when we can go back |

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Great to hear Phish, could have been far worse. The predicted 20 foot storm surge didn’t occur, thank God for that.

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
So when the eye of the storm hits the shore, and it is spinning counterclockwise is the storm surge higher on the east side of the eye ? As you said it looks like Lake Charles was in the center of the path. Concerned for friends in Orange TX, slightly west of you. Glad your family is ok
