My wife's Dad is 92 yrs old, hunkered down in their house in Lutcher (he and stepmom). That's about 35 miles south of Baton Rogue. Her oldest son is with them, but he has a bad back. They were not able to board up their windows, and her Dad is not in good health.
They are also ~100 yards from the Mississippi River levee; my wife tells me it should be fine that far north. I suppose my biggest concern is the wind; this thing has me scared for them. We're praying for you guys.

Here in north Covington strong winds and heavy rain just set in. The sky was dark and there was little breeze when suddenly gumball sized drops of freezing rain came pelting down.
If you're not where you want to be then you better pray to God you make it. Because the weather level here sucks.
I know you are worried; let us know when you hear ANYTHING.
