Glad you yourself didn't suffer injury.

I am a veteran at hurricane survival, but this storm really surprised me. It just would not go away. It had lots of time to push a lot of water and mud in. It looks like the surge was about 6 or 7 feet. The camp got trashed. 33" of water down stairs with about an inch of mud left over on the floor. The furniture, cabinets, what ever is ruined. The French doors blew open upstairs, so the wind and rain came in hard enough to blow the bed sheets off the bed. Everything is soaked. It smells bad. The tool shed flooded and most everything in there is ruined. The yard has 3" of mud covering the grass with the consistency peanut butter. Looking at the bright side, I still have my KLR, boat, and truck. John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

John and All, First of all John, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I live some 20 miles from John, I too rode out the storm here in the New Orleans area, and incredibly, I did not even lose power! John's property was trashed, some 700,000 people were left without power for up to 4-5 days (in temps that are in the 90's with 85% humidity) and I did not even lose power. That gives you an idea about the utterly unpredictable nature of a hurricane. And, remember, this was only a Category I (I of IV). Eddie M. New Orleans

I read that with all the effort the Corps of Engineers did on strengthening and improving the levees and walls around New Orleans actually worked this time for the city. But water has to go somewhere and unfortunately it did....to areas like yours that were dry in the past. Southern Louisiana and Corps officials should visit the Netherlands as I have with has similar problems with swampy sea level and below sea level lands and the extensive ways they manage all that water from the North Sea storms. There is water everywhere there but they manage it very well. I feel for your loss and damage.....maybe Uncle Sammy with be of financial help in cleaning up. We here are in Tornado Alley and I know what storms can do. The house my wife grew up in was flattened in Wichita Falls TX by their last big tornado. They have had 3 hit there in my lifetime. I travel down to Galveston on occasion and that city seems to have a hurricane bulls eye on it. One hits there every 15 to 20 years. Dummies still build stick built homes not 50 feet from the ocean down on south Galveston Island (with no sea wall) and toward Surfside TX. Go figure. Mexico builds everything out of cement especially on the coast and beaches. Should be the rule here at least the Gulf, the east coast and Tornado Alley. I am glad it wasn't a class 4 or 5 storm. I have read the book on the Galveston storm that hit around 1900 and still claims the record for the most lives lost in America from natural disasters. Around 6000 (I think). Those poor people had not a chance. Criswell Sent from my iPad
