That dude is so lucky he was close to that building. Otherwise he would have been found drowned in the marsh.

Getting worse in Laffy. We are feeling what’s left of the eye wall and then we will have the “eye”. Shingles everywhere and I can hear transformers blowing in the distance.

He is in for a VERY LONG night. Can you hear the mosquitos flying around in his car?

In Broussard, without power but haven’t seen anything flying.

Mostly newer homes here tho. Maybe shingles hold better....?

He backed in so his dash cam would show something other than the side of the building.

Will take some time to upload videos now. Surreal how powerful it is, can't imagine being here for Laura. Trees breaking more now. What's the status of the storm currently?

He probably would not be alive if not for that parish building. They had to have scoped it out. He ain’t that lucky.




I thought he was on 27, but if he was on 82, he had to have seen it at some point.

That being said, he's going to be stuck for a while. I don't think he was prepared to dramatically turn into the parking lot at the last minute or anything.

He said “hey” like he’d seen someone.

Then there was a strange noise and his camera fell over.

Nothing since.

Thought the eye wall was just now in Jennings. How are you getting it in Lafayette?

We still have power near the Mall in Lafayette. It's not that bad, but with some pretty strong gusts.

According to the cameras at my shop it’s not bad at all the south end of Pinhook. Usually floods but I don’t see any standing water.

It’s much worse here in Opelousas
