Dad is at the end of life. I'm adjusting. Mom is in the same boat your mom was.

Hugs and prayers to you and your family

That's actually better news than what I feared. I'm seeing a kitchen remodel!

I just wanted to tell y'all how much you have meant to me during the most difficult times I have ever faced. I'm not so sure I could have survived it without y'all.

Hi all. Just checking in. I got on Angie’s List looking for roofers this morning. I filled out the online form and to my shock and amazement I got a call from a contractor in about three minutes. I have him my address and he looked it up on Google Earth and then sent me a quote based on a satellite program. The price was only about 25% more than my roof cost in 2004, so happy with that. Tan a quick check on them and plenty of favorable reviews. They also do fences and decks. So, looks like I already have a roofer. He said they could start on it tomorrow, BUT they can’t get down my street because of downed utility poles. He will go look at it anyway tomorrow.

Our mayor has asked that people not come back to stay yet. There is a ton of debris everywhere. Lots of roads blocked with downed utility poles and power lines. We can can look and leave, but I am 3 hours way.

From what I am seeing, just about every single building in town is damaged. Some totally destroyed. It looks like a huge war zone. Way worse than Rita was in 2005. The only saving grace is that they overestimated the storm surge and there wasn’t a lot of rain. So very little flooding here. The parish below us is even worse. This is truly the 100 year storm here. The last one like this was in 1918.
