Should their employers not help to get them to safety? Or do they not have vehicles?



Well the majority of the man camps and camp grounds are owned by separate entities and not their employers.

Also, I can promise you no matter how strong you are you ain’t stopping 140 mph winds anyway. Being at home helps nothing

Anyone know what wind loads the I-10 bridge in Lake Charles were rated for?



Anyone remember this story from last year? The 2 dumbass Mexicans who tried to jump their car over the drawbridge in LC?

Often times they're worried about looters, which is insane, but also to be expected, because you have to be insane to stay.
