Is there a recap of the storm's impact that someone can suggest?

Thank you.

The best bet would be to check the last several pages. Someone posted FB link a while back that had a bunch of helicopter video.

Amos my brother just confirmed they’re evacuating memorial which actually took patients in last night from another facility.

We’re getting some of them at 2 of the hospitals here In Lafayette. I was told LCMH lost water supply.

Well he’ll be a kick arse pharmacist — he told me he didn’t know where they were going or for how long but he was going.

Any idea how many there are? I know they still had covid patients earlier this week?? Think the patients evac to them last night were from the women’s hospital of the system.

Well guys, had to saw our way in from merryville to singer and have been blessed and had very very minor damage at my house and all my family.

The wind damage is worse than Rita in Westlake. 90% plus of trees have major damage and prolly 60% or down.

Westlake looks like a war zone and very very few structure didn't have major damage.

Gonna go to lake Charles tomorrow near the port to check my house under construction, but I have gotten pictures and it is fine.

Lucky to have a whole home generator and art gigabyte fiber is still working good.

If anyone needs me you can email me or Facebook message me if you know me.

I'm exhausted as we sawed over 3/4 mile on a road in Westlake to get into the golf course area. I'll try to give update tomorrow.

For those down playing the storm.....you don't know shite. Worse than Rita wind damage wise.

Nah not sure. I know the hospitals here were pretty full so they weren’t able to accept a ton. I expect we’ll be getting more In tomorrow though... memorial is a nice sized hospital so that’s a good chunk of patients to place, hopefully TX took some.

I never thought I’d see the day someone evacuated Alexandria to NOLA for a hurricane, and it was a smart decision.

Well at least your mom got a phone call out of you for this! I didn’t know many in his class and I could even have the year wrong.

One day I’ll figure out who you are. Maybe.

Asssuming you work at a hospital here, stay safe .. hope y’all get some relief.

Edit — that link didn’t bring me to a page .. just my FB homepage.
