I think JW is in the New Roads area which is North of I10 and Just west of the Miss River. That is a long way from the coast.Caustic Burno said:

Hwy 96 east to the Mississippi I would imagine is going to look nasty.
The eye is currently 72 miles east of my house it is amazing what a difference 20 miles makes in the west side inland.
I hope the LA folks got out of there.

Well fellas I survived my 3 young children survived. The cows hogs goats and chickens survived my home however did not I'm completely expecting insurance adjuster to claim It a Total loss Roof ripped off water damage inside ceilings and walls buckled. Also lost 1/4 of the roof on my barn trees down on every perimeter fence. Only animals not contained is the goats and they are going to a new home just as soon as I can catch them

But like I said most important is we survived everything else is replaceable or repairable. Nothing time and money won't fix just glad I have insurance
I am glad to hear you and family are all ok. I have to take my hat off to you at how well of an attitude you have after having all the property damage you have sustained.
We had a tornado hit our property several years ago now. We were lucky to not have had more damage than we did. But it was still drpressing and took months of hard work to clean up all of the down tree's and repair to the house.
Main thing my wife and daughter came through it unharmed. The material things can be replaced. But it is still heart wrenching when something like that happens. When you are a farmer its not like you don't have enough to contend with and take care of without having alot of property damage to repair and deal with too.
Glad you and family all made it through it though.

Got that T-shirt in Rita!!!DCA farm said:
Tree went through mom and dads house behind mine. Wasn't a fence on the place standing. I fenced off a lot pretty quick and contained the cows and started feeding hay. Culled hard and fast as it took me six weeks to put all the fences back together while dealing with all the other hurricane related issues.
Everything will be okay just remember most hurricane fatalities happen in the clean up!
Going to have to get like water on a ducks back as I have done this twice .
It's s long slow process dealing with the insurance along with trying to put everything back together supporting your family at the same time. Get some Valium , stay safe.

Miles of electrical repair crews heading east! It's an endless procession as far you can see. Using our fair grounds as a lay down yard for poles. It's stack after stack of poles.
