7:15 am - Friendships Relief Organization personnel is ready to come back to Lake Charles to begin helping residents - reporting one of their ships on the Calcasieu River is loose.

6:45 am - Caller reports cars underwater in New Iberia, LA.

6:30 am - Tornado Warning for Vernon & Rapides Parishes. Tornado watch in effect for all of SWLA & SETX until 5 PM.

6:15 am - Sulphur Fire Department reports no damage. Still waiting until winds drop below Tropical Storm strength to begin patrols.

I suspect some no longer have homes to return to.

They'll find damage alright when they begin patrols. Sulphur was in the eyewall for some time.
