Went take a damage assessment walk, not much damage other than a few shingles and a fence gate. Took a pic of the bayou. It's about the same as after a few days of rain:

Its not "destroyed"... That same wall failed for Gustave. They need better construction. They'll be back open in a month.

Side note: hidden hamburger gem, norm's

Apparently one of the elementary schools in GM lost a whole roof. Got a call just now.

My bud said there is no way the winds last night weren't triple digits. Apparently they're in the eye right now and have been in it for a while.
They're getting the brunt of it. Hear the storm came on land twice, first in Plaq then in Fourchon.

ETA: still have electricity in BR

No issues here except power and Uverse.

In Lockport, brother lost chimney, 30% of shingles on his garage, and tree split in two.

In Laplace, I have a fence I'll have to repair after the storm rolls through. Seems some existing fence posts I had left when I replaced the boards last time decided to snap this storm.

On ch6 the weatherman drew a circle where the eye currently is then backed it up 3 hours and played it on a loop. Zero movement, just kept going around the same circle.

One of my friends on FB posted that it's about to start up in Larose again.

He is not a meteorologist, so take that with a grain of salt
