Another update

Today was the first day that people could return to the Parish. Up until now, Terrebonne Parish has been on lockdown. The National Guard was blocking all roads into the Parish and there was a curfew. But today people were allowed back in, but an 8pm purfew is still in effect. We decided to stay put until Monday. My neighbor Alonna and her family did return today and I had her check on our house (she has a key so she even checked inside.)

The Run-Down:

-backyard fence is down

-shingles ripped off; roof damage

-water damage to the ceiling in kitchen (from roof damage)

She went on to say that it is just a mess there. No power (could be up to three weeks to get it back on) and debris is everywhere. Said it took two hours to clean up their front yard, and it's not that big!

So it looks like we will have a big mess when we get back. Fortunately, Tom can get a heavy duty generator through Lincoln so we will have some power when we get back and we won't have to live completely like the Amish! Ugh...the hot Louisiana summer is still going strong!
