Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Good point Mike. I had forgotten that either you leave very early or you just hang on and hope and pray that you make it.

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Well folks, I blinked, 10 peeps including 4 grandchildren ages 8 to 17 do not need a night like what I believe is coming as I type. We fled to French Quarters and are all safe. Please pray for those less fortunate as it will be a long dangerous night. We live on the Calcasieu River and have a round roof house that dont like wind. Lots of assets in the flood plain. Before leaving, I went to get 2.5 gals of chainsaw gas and 2 familys looked to be stressed and struggling. Topped 'em off and said good luck. Americans need to pull together. LAWD 2020 Thanks, will not make Indy But have a fast stick car if someone is up to wheeling. Phish

Skip Loeffler contacted Frito with a nice hard luck award ($$) for an SS/AH car. Hope I don't have to send it to you.

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Eye went right up the driveway. That was hours of bashing from the NE. Probably took out the shop doors. Now it will be hours from SW. That will get the barn and house garage doors. Nice and quite in NOLA. Will get an update as wind allows if Boyd made it thru the night. Keep praying for those who stayed. Stephen

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Report from Boyd who cut his way for 3/4 mile.
GOOD: House, and guest house standing, minor damage. Surge minimal. Race rig & house fine, car barn fine, generator running, blue car still ready for Indy. BAD: No trees standing except a dead oak, floating boat house roof in pool, boat beached on floating dock remains (totalled), AC units blown off pads, race shop doors and adjoining shed gone. Now a shelter in place chemical leak. Glad we left. That boat house was professionally built with wind brace etc. Data shows 137MPH for hours and we are at the end of a NE/SW river straight-away. I will take it, get some pics when we can go back |

Re: Live from Indy; I mean LAURA
Great to hear Phish, could have been far worse. The predicted 20 foot storm surge didn’t occur, thank God for that.
