Dularge / Dulac

Blew the three roll up doors off the front of the camp. Blew the big roll up door on the boat slip off the camp. Blew the back wall of the boat slip out. Knocked the deck and porch off the camp. Blew some tin off the roof.

Other than that, we good.

It pretty bad down there. We are on 4pt just over the levee. I'd say 75% of the camps below the levee are total losses. We sustained roof, siding and water damage. Power is not expected to be back for at least another 2 weeks.

I also have a marsh camp on Oak Bayou. I have not yet been down there, but the reports are that all but 3 camps are not total losses: 3Bs is still there, the big green camp just south, and the Tipsy Pelican farthest south.

We have a camp in the marsh between the 2 closer to Dularge that I fear is gone

Odds are it is. I am sorry if so. Hoping you're still standing brother.

I went down to check on my camp in Dularge last week. Like others have said, hit or miss.
I had a little roof damage, but nothing terrible. Have an 8x10 shed that the wind pushed about 4 feet forward on the blocks, so it definitely blew it's arse off.
Some places looked fine, others destroyed.
Been told power isn't expected down there for another 2 weeks. Poles and power lines were down everywhere.

Was told that Dulac side got hit worst than Dularge. If so, it can't be too good.
Hope everyone avoided any major damage.

Got word from T Irv that he’s all good, lost the roof to his porch and some water got inside but not bad.

From what I’ve seen, the people who lost their roof from zeda last year was a blessing in surprise. The new screwed on roofs added strength to the camps and gave them a fighting chance to get through the storm.

We just replaced the roof last fall. Hopefully that helped. Going to try to make it down there this weekend or Monday.

Anyone having any luck getting a metal roof company to come and even give a quote down there?

I'm with you...went to our camp in cocodrie yesterday and it was 30 miles of carnage all the way down 56. The further south, the bigger the piles and the less was left of camps. My parents camp took some major roof damage and their boat lift/dock is destroyed, but there are a few camps around us where the only thing left is pilings.

When the smoke clears and the rebuilding starts, cocodrie is going to be a ghost town. The locks were already a nail in the coffin but now with a chance to make some cash back off insurance and split, I'd be surprised if more than 60% of people rebuilt. Going to be a lot of carnage left over from people simply walking away.

The destruction from the middle school on Grand Caillou all the way down to Four Point was pretty unbelievable when I drove through a few days later. Some are better than others, but its going to be a long cleanup and recovery for the area.
