IDA

Let all pray for our members of the forum down south in the path of Ida. It doesn't look good Cat 4 this morning.
It was 16 years ago Katrina hit New Orleans plus other places.
 
I'm sending positive energy to my family (93 year old aunt & 4 cousins + families) & all those in New Orleans & in the path of Ida! Stay safe! :|
 
Anyone heard from our members in Louisiana and muississippi? Buddy and Hope Banks, Jim Foose, Hambone, and others. Let''s all pray they come through this hurricane okay.
 
Skeet and Rosie are good. Mary Kennedy posted that she and Kevin are fine. No damage. Can't get up with Jim Foose or Buddy Banks yet.
 
I just tried to call Buddy (cell#) and the call didn't go through. I imagine cell phone towers are down/damaged. The video I saw from yesterday showed cell towers with all the lines going up the tower blowing in the wind (Houma). I hope all is well.
 
hello all from the deep , beatup south . i can only go by the news reports for now , but its really bad . The " eye " of IDA was one mile east of our house when it went by . first time in my lifetime we evacuated ( went to crystal beach in texas) . Our son , two daughters , their spouses , and ten grandkids ( all under the age of ten ) in one beach house :shock: My neighbor said a good size water oak fell across the end of the driveway and powerlines , and later noticed some copper sheets in the backyard ( from the roof over the new bathroom addition , agghhh ) . headed home tomorrow , scared to think of what may lie inside . coppersmythe......................PS: i'll update when i can , looks like we'll all be busy for some time . THANK all for the prayers and thoughts , we're going to need them.
 
Glad to hear from you Louisiana folks. Val, you probably made the right choice to evac to TX.

Hope damage is to a minimum for you all. Prayers for safety!
 
Yep. You made the right choice, Val. Property can be replaced, however inconvenient, but lives cannot be. Good luck when you get home.
 
My 3 cousins plus my 94 year old aunt live in New Orleans. If they can't get my aunt relocated tomorrow to another Assisted Care facility, they are planning to head up here to North Carolina until things are back to some semblance of normal. Fortunately, it seems all 4 residences are intact. Good luck all you Cajuns! :hattip:

Let us also hear from all you guys up in the flooded NE! Hoping everyone faired well.

Dale,
Anywhere from 6-10" in our tiny state. SW CT got the most rain and wind, nothing like NJ though where a tornado ripped through.
Lost power from midnight to 5:00am, but we were sleeping.
Ponds, Lakes, Streams, and Rivers have been full all summer. +/-25 inches of rain in July alone. :surrender:
