my family made it through.
roof damage for sure at my grandmothers. raining inside the house.
2 pecan trees and an oak down on her property.
weather finally slacking.
her house is maybe a frog hair further west than mine and never got into the actual eye.
rather stayed in the shitstorm of an eye wall for a few hours just taking a beating.
crazy that my house got a break for about 2 hours.
hers got NO break. at all.

so communications is almost non-existent now.
the handful of pics/posts i’ve seen on Facebook are absolutely terrible.
Wind wise, this was the strongest storm ever at Landfall in Louisiana. So we’ve taken an absolute beating.
haven’t heard any news of my property yet.
know my family is safe at least, but not sure how bad that house (or other family houses) are.

also, South Lafourche (area coach O grew up) got it way worse than we did.
we were on the “good” eye wall.
they were in the one that takes no prisoners. and they got the surge side.
from Raceland on down in Lafourche is being called “Catastrophic”.

finally got word from hometown.
it’s bad. like catastrophe type shit we only see on TV bad.
Grandmother will need a new roof. Most of structure still intact, but raining in every room.
Parent’s house got rained in, but got rained in so some roof damage somewhere that isn’t visibly apparent from ground.
Older Sister: only damage appears to be superficial. no rain or other water in house, lots of tree damage in yard.
Younger Sister: has a small hole in one spot of roof and some rain damage inside, but confined to a very small area.
Best Friend’s parents (house i spent almost as much time in as kid as my own): total loss. roof completely gone and missing. not rafters, chimneys, nothing. No evidence a roof ever existed. House was 150 years old from his first relatives to come to Louisiana from France.
My house: 80% of house is completely un-damaged. My bedroom (kind of shaped like a wing jutting out one side of house) lost 2 walls. so everything that was in that room except my bed is now somewhere further south. Studs are still in place. Roof and center match ceiling all still intact as well.
Somebody else’s room is leaning up against one entire side of house so dad couldn’t put eyes on out side but inside along same wall looks un-damaged with exception of one broken window from either the roof or a trampoline that is sandwiched between roof and my house.
Also my brand freaking new wooden privacy fence is no longer standing.
Town is an absolute wreck.
As bad as i’m told my place looks, i got lucky.
Neighbor across street has no roof at all and half his porch is also gone.
Strongest (going by sustained winds) Hurricane ever at Landfall in Louisiana and we took it on the chin.
Pray for our people. They’re going to need it.

finally saw pics.
not “good”, but also not nearly as bad as was described to me either.
definitely fixable.
