Hurricane Laura - Texas

[kthompson]

My area has been hammered the last few years by one hurricane after another it seemed over much of the last few years. Setting one record after another of flooding. Nothing to enjoy. Much destruction, houses lost (mostly to flooding) businesses hurt. Yet it was amazing to see the help from so many other states such as the utilities here even before the hurricanes landed coming in as an army it seemed to fight a good fight to restore and repair.

We also join in praying your area is spared major damage and loss and rebound quickly. May God Bless you.

Haven’t seen a lot on the expected damage. But I’m very concerned about Louisiana.

I'm setting in a motel room in Gulfport Mississippi , but we are heading to Lafayette, Louisiana first thing in the morning to help them get the lights back on or rebuild their electric system, whatever the case may be, from past experience with hurricanes in that area water and storm surge are usually the biggest issue.

Prayers for the safety of you and your crew!

Thoughts/prayers for those in the path of this nasty storm.

Our thoughts with those in the path-may it lose strength and give you all a break.

Looks like Texas will not have any significant damage but Louisiana is getting pounded pretty hard. Heavy rain, high winds and flooding.

Woke up this morning with the power off, but then it came back on. Half an inch of rain and nothing else. Looks like it's tracking just East of us, and we're just hoping to get some more rain out of it.

Have a lot of relatives and in-laws in East Texas; last I heard they were doing OK. I had a cousin in Beaumont that I was concerned about, but I just heard that he and his family had moved to lake Livingston.

Yep. Our chances of getting any rain at all are diminishing.

I often see them headed down the interstate even before a storm hits; caravans of bucket trucks from Northern Maine, New Brunswick, and PEI headed south to wherever they are needed.
A few weeks later I see them headed north again...
