I was wondering how much rain y'all were getting from this latest storm. If anyone is able to deal with a disaster like you're facing it would be a trapper and outdoorsman like you. I imagine it will take a long long time for the area to rebuild but you need to try to keep as positive an outlook as possible because your family is counting on you to be the strong one.

No mail lady pass few days, she gave up I guess. I dont blame her. Living in our living room. With my camping stuff. One small lamp. One light run by usb port into one of those things you jump a car with, gen running our frig in kitchen, a freezer in garage, extension cord in living room to charge phones and run lamp. We are trying to eat one decent meal a day with things given to us, usually cooked on outside grill before dark. Mre for lunch, at this time your frame of mind is far away from planning big meals. I'm diabetic, I was on a diet my body was use to. I'm eating now alot of different things, when I woke yesterday morning I thought I was dying

Keith, yesterday a friend put waders on and started collecting crawfish traps, some blown about 2000 feet away, some laying scattered thruout the pond, my boat I run traps with was blown 1000 feet away into a wooded area, while he was walking thru rice growing in pond big crawfish were jumping, some in traps laying under water, the pond is full of crawfish right now, water level at top of overflow drain and I never pumped water. My pump is still here in shed, rain filled the pond to overflow, overflow is at 28 inches

Oh look, the sun is out, a little cell service, loaded radar for First time. I shouldn't have looked Mr dobbins, thank you but I have no clue anymore except batteries. We go thru batteries like mad, head lamps, I had one for my wife and daught, I had three, I lost all my three. Last night I was carrying a tealight to go take a pee. Darla said gift cards, have no clue where the heck we could use a gift card, lol They may try to open a section of walmart soon, national guard were helping them clean up. 2 gas stations have opened, 15 gallon limit, yesterday darla and I took a short ride down the bayou. They were filling cars and cans from a tanker truck. I kid you not the line was about a mile and a half long Any type of light using usb power source would be a blessing. Church group gave us a small solar charger lamp, you can also charge your phone with it. Or generator power to charge it. Wish I had more of those. Believe it's called a lumenaid. Generator about to shut down, we try not running during the day to conserve gas. We just started seeing black mold on our insulation in our attic, desperate to combat this because if mold takes over we are doomed. I cant do much myself because of disabilities, theres no way I can climb into attic to remove insulation. My daughter went up there and sprayed 3 gallons of mean green, someone told us this works well. We also sprayed 3 gallons of mold control with a potato pump but church handing it out ran out, people were desperate for the stuff. Along the roads you see mountains of pink insulation and sheetrock and ceiling tiles they have stripped out of homes to get the mold out

The laura chouest is a hugh supply vessel that works for the federal govt here, multi million dollar weather equipment on this vessel. It was stationed at fourchon, our port here and about 5 miles as the crow flies from me. Their certified wind gauge at 100 feet off the surface clocked winds at 197 kts. That's 227 miles an hour . Noaa will still not categorize ida as a cat 5 but many claiming this was the most powerful hurricaine to ever hit the us coast. The last plane they sent in right at landfall had to turn back, breaking windows on the aircraft, had never happened before. I was a kid here for betsy. Betsy was nothing compared to this, I stayed here, I cant discribe the things we saw out my front door and kitchen window that were shielded from the winds. You cant describe this in words to anyone . Your mind cant comprehend the things your seeing, you think your going to die at any second, and it went on for hours and hours

Strange thing, if this storm is claimed a cat 5, no deductible on insurance. Anything under cat 5 they add 2 grand to your deductible, I have 5 but now its 7 deductible because it's a hurricaine under cat 5. If they classify it a 5 it erases all deductables We clocked Lara’s wind over 200mph. But, they still claimed it was a category 4. We think, the insurance companies paid NOAA off! I have neighbors, their deductible, jumped up to $15,000! Ours was $5,000.

Gator, I was here for katrina also I'll try to explain this in terms some might understand Katrina was a kitten Ida was a Bengal tiger Yet the reporting of the two are totally different. Not sure if you have TV or other news sources back up yet but out here in the so called "normal" world, I hate to say it, Ida has completely fallen off the map as far as news goes.

Warrior that's the way Rita was for us here in SoutheastTexas. News talked about Katrina but little on Rita. If you’re not a big city, it never happened!
