Re: Hurricane Ida

The police chief in Grand Isle, LA says the wind gauge clocked 148 mph winds - and then the gauge broke.

How you doing, Billy?

I consider our area extremely lucky because we're on the very edge of Ida. The wind has been gusting to about 50 mph and we've had lots of rain. But we haven't lost power. I feel for Louisiana.

I'm hearing that the damage is catastrophic in parts of Louisiana. It will be tomorrow before we know the true extent of the damage.

Re: Hurricane Ida

How are you doing this morning, Billy? How did your town do?

How are you doing this morning, Billy? How did your town do?

I live a few blocks from Hwy. 90/beach and there was no damage to my home. In fact, we never lost power despite the wind howling throughout the night. I hopped in my car this morning and drove around town. I saw no damage at all and even Hwy 90 wasn't flooded. It's still raining and nasty out, tho.

I'm hearing that Nola took a major hit from the wind but the levees held this time. Still there's a lot of damage there. I'm curious to know the extent.

Glad to hear you did not get much damage.

I think it's supposed to make landfall in Texas and work it's way to us over land. Any time it goes over land it loses most of it's power but flooding it still a possibility.


Thanks for the heads up because I really haven't paid much attention.

Re: Hurricane Ida

Slidell, Louisiana is about a 45 minute drive from my city. During Ida a man was killed by an alligator as he walked through the flood water.


They killed the gator and found human remains inside. This gator was a freakin' monster. See below: 13 feet/500+ lbs.

I wonder, was that 500+ pounds before or after they removed the human remains?
