re: How many of you Northshore baws are riding out the storm?

would it be a good idea to come down I59 through B'ham instead of my usual I65 to 10 route through Mobile? Hearing I10 west through MS is hell.

My dad drove back from Mobile today on I-10 and said it was slow going. If I-59 isn't too far out of the way, I'd take that.

I rode the storm out at a cousins house in Madisonville. I was going to stay home but he talked me into coming to his house and I am glad I did. Had tons of trees down on my road and the water was up to my ribcage in my yard. Shed and contents are total loss but I think my house is ok, except for my HVAC outside getting submerged and I am sure I had lift on my shingles. How could I not with having spent hours in the eastern eye wall. Overall I was blessed and fell fortunately it wasn't any worse. Ponchatoula looks like it was carpet bombed.

Report:

The past 48 hours have been a wild turn of events in the BuddyRoeaux household. I’ve help cut 5 family/friends tress downed in their yard and assisted with clean up. Nothing pales into comparison on how we helped these gentlemen from Pike electric out of FL.

.
Assisted 4 crews along the ponchitolawa river by bringing them supplies and giving them a stable platform to work on with the mud boat.

With our help, what a 2 day job was broken down into 12 hours. They have showed a different level of class and view of execution to complete task like no crew I’ve ever seen. Please give a big thank you and a round of applause to any lineman you meet. They go through a ton of adversity. 3 of the four crews had to wade through chest high water and use a 10 ft flat boat with paddles to move equipment until we seen they were needing assistance.
