We were lucky down here. Marco just fell apart, and Laura went to Phish instead of us. We still have wind and rain coming in. In that same track Rita went in 2005 and did lots of damage. By far the worst was Audrey in 1957. My ex brother in law's family lived close to the coast. He lost 6 people when the surge (still don't k now how high) blew the house apart, killed his mother and father, sister and her husband and two others that were riding out the storm there. Never recovered any bodies. Exact path as Laura. Never know what these storms might bring. For Katrina a friend of mine had a large helicopter facility at the mouth of the river. It had a 26 ft roof to park 19 passenger helicopters to service large rigs in the gulf. Found lots of dead fish on the roof. And it looks like Laura might go to Bowling Green.
