Monday Night

The worst is over. No power still. The generator purchase proved to be the right call. Just enough to power the fridge and and a small TV to keep the kids happy. Lots of family time.

No storm damage to our house. Most of the neighbors did well - a few minor things but nothing huge.

Baton Rouge area has about 30,000 without power but crews are working on it. No damage to the incoming feed just lines and blown transformers.

New Orleans and South did not fare as well. The lines outbound from the power plants are down which has never happened. They aren't sure how long it will take to repair.

The other cousin Marc, who lives in New Orleans won't know until Wed if his house flooded. 50/50 shot at this point.
