Good luck to everyone in Ida's path

Hopefully it rumbles through with minimal loss of life and property.

Thankfully here in central NC we may mostly get some needed rain. The reports out of LA aren't great but so far it doesn't sound like it was as bad a Katrina.

I hauled a load of supplies down right after Katrina and the things I saw were mind blowing.

Louisiana was much better prepared this time. I've seen oy one reported loss of life and that was from a tree falling through their home.

Of course, New Orleans and most of South East Louisiana is without power, but that really isn't surprising considering the force of the storm.

Once again, for our members down there, I only a few hours away and if your needs can wait til around the 6th, I'll be glad to bring some relief, whether it's water, food or fuel...

I am in Alexandria, all is well, never rained or lost power yesterday. We have relatives staying with us from Destrehan (30 min from N.O.) for a few days until they can safely get back. Haven’t heard any reports on how their property faired.

Laura hit us last year and I am determined to find an MEP 803 before next hurricane season.

Last reports I heard was over One Million without power in greater NOLA area. Pictures of major transmission line tower on ground. Unfortunately they say it may take several days to weeks to restore power to areas hardest hit.

Wondering about some of our SS members in that area? "LeveeLiving504" is in Kenner, LA. Hope he and any others who were affected can check in here when they are online.
