My wife read some stuff on Facebook. People saying that we wouldn’t be allowed back in due to curfew. My response, was “frick their curfews” but in all honesty could we be turned back? I’ve never evacuated for a storm.

I'm assuming this is the Southshore?

You can be turned back yes. After Katrina they had strict curfews and road blocks and traffic stop checks everywhere. It’s not safe at night with no power and the roads have debris and down power lines.

If you have your ID and you ask politely sometimes they’ll let you in and if you’re persistent you can find a way around. But don’t underestimate how dangerous it is right now between the nature and the opportunistic people and lack of police manpower and everything else.

If you don’t have to go back, wait a few days. If you absolutely have to go back be extremely polite and try your best. Be prepared and be vigilant.

We weren’t turned back after Laura. Only hampered by fallen trees and debris blocking the roads. It took a few days to get access. But they didn’t turn anyone back.
