Get Ready Louisiana - Ida Thread

[loftreef]

General Ida discussion thread. Looks like we are taking a Cat 3-4 straight to the face. I will be freezing water bottles to prepare for the power going out(nano), but it generally doesnt in my area.
Post your hurricane preps!

I'm in Shreveport. We usually get the after effects, bad storms, lots of rain and wind, but usually nothing more. Even during Katrina back in the day. Haven't lost power yet, but got battery airstones if needed.

Hope you're all safe. Thinking of you all today watching footage.

Hoping everyone is ok. If you need help keeping your tanks alive post up here and maybe some closer reefers can help out.

Power outages galore in Nola. Luckily my sister and her bf's family got out because a few of them don't have houses to go back to anymore. Hoping everyone is staying safe.

It’s next to impossible for referral in NOLA to survive this without moving their systems. No power for up to three weeks and no water since Sunday. Tough times in Southeast Louisiana. I do know some dedicated reefers who are hanging in there, though!

Just got power back downtown. Kept clowns alive at first by scooping the water into a container and waterfalling it back into the tank from high up like every hour. Evac'd and came back on Tuesday to save my 2 clowns and they are currently back at home living in a 5gal bucket. Evaluating my options from here, current plan to just start over

Anyone affected by this hurricane that now has power should check it out, @brandon429 has been advising a rip clean instead of complete tear down
Also, aquatic sealife in kenner (?) is accepting saltwater fish in their holding tanks if you are still without power

My sister is in that area… so you know the owner? Are you part of a reef club down there?

 

[loftreef]

I am not a part of anything, I am a patron of theirs and they have been updating via email.

Man, I am sorry to hear you're in Shreveport. I was stationed at Barksdale and lived in Bossier City. My car got broken into twice in a year. I even knew the day and time they would break into my car and I couldn't stop it. Called the cops and they just said we will patrol the area. Next morning, my car had a hole in the door from a screw driver.
