Very windy at my place in Abita. Power went out about 10 minutes ago. How do I know that and why am I awake....because our stupid Roomba starts vacuuming and beeping when the power goes out.

I'm in Mandeville. Tree through the roof at 3am. Was patching holes and cutting trees since then. Very windy but the rain has stopped thankfully. I must have missed the weather guys talking about this wind.

Damn man, very sorry to hear that.

I've got 2 dead pines near the house I've been neglecting. This has definitely convinced to take them down before next season.

Ha.

It’s just funny how people get pissy because the news makes a big deal about nothing. Well this is why. To be prepared in case. I hope all is well.

The rain has been over for about thirty minutes at my house in Hammond, but I just had a random gust of wind that I think was worse than any during the rain storm. I heard all of my doors and windows move back and forth from the pressure.

Fosters Tree Care in Springfield. There's also another guy that my grandpa just used. I forget his name, but I'll ask him to see who it was
