New Orleans is a big bowl and still sinking. No matter what they do, they aren’t keeping a Cat 5 out of there.

We don’t cry here either.The next morning people are out with chainsaws, everyone helping each other. Whining doesn’t help. If the power is out, we all empty our freezers and start cooking. We take turns. If you live on or near the water, you will eventually live in it. It’s just a fact of life. We got lucky this year. One of the slowest seasons in years. Hopefully, we are back to the pattern we had from the mid 70’s to the late 80’s. for almost 20 years they pretty much missed us.

Yep, here too. A bunch of neighbors I didn't know and myself spent
the better part of the morning cutting our way out to Hwy 59.

It was fun, chainsaws and straps and this one lady brought us breakfast.

Here we were powerless for nine days. It was fine.. we coped.

Grilled a lot. Patrolled for non-existant looters using ATVs.

Fun.
