Yes, that’s right. Off of San Augustine between East and Luella. I lived in LaPorte 20 years, where are you?
Hey, texasredtop. Just had to come out of my lurking mode to let you know how thankful I have been for your posts on this thread. My folks, brother, and nephew live in DP. My parents actually live within a mile or so of you (near the corner of San Augustine and Luella). I grew up in DP but married a soldier and only get back to the area occasionally (currently living in Georgia). Anyway, thanks for your updates. I’ve talked to my mom a couple of times since Ike plowed through, and they’re fine. Same as most in the area ... fence and tree limbs down, but that’s about it. My mom did say that she found a baby squirrel out in the yard, so she’s trying to keep it warm and fed. And my brother has a scared dove hanging out in his garage. A couple of little silver linings.
We lived in Galveston a few years ago (hubby did a residency at UTMB), and of course I grew up spending a lot of time at the beach, so our heart is breaking as we watch the updates. Continuing to pray for those in the Bolivar/Crystal Beach areas. So tragic.
yee haw! that means our power won’t be far behind!
We live in Brookglen subdivision across from walmart...we are in Jackson Ms right now. will probably head back in the mornin.
