I haven't seen or heard anything from Uncle Sham. Hope all is ok, and suspect that he is without power and may be without for a couple of days.
Not sure where the worst was but the highest winds recorded were in New Iberia, where Uncle Sham is located. I'm guessing they may have been hit hardest, with Lafayette being a close second. They've shown destruction from New Iberia on FNC and TWC. Looked pretty bad. Darned good thing that Lili started falling apart when it did.
I'm OK. The family is OK. The dogs and cats are OK. My front door is NOT OK. I still have all of my own trash cans. The storm blew the roof of one of the dormer sections at my grandfather's house which the Sham's are currently restoring. Today was a reconstruct session of this old house. Tomorrow will be a continuance of that episode. Earlier this morning, I stopped where a reporter from Fox News was broadcasting a live feed and made sure to tell him to have ice delivered to our area. Our electricity was finally restored about 6:00PM this evening. New Iberia was hit very hard but the worst damages were in Delcambre about ten miles west of here. For those who were concerned that their Tobasco supply line would dry up, there is no need to worry. It is still there. I'll get back with more on the spot stuff when our high speed internet is working. Thanks to all of you who helped make a horrible night almost enjoyable. Friends are neat a'rent they! :-)
