The parish president said not to come tomorrow, that at day break they’ll assess which roads are accessible. The thing of it is, is that my back windows blew out and I need to board them up so that the mold don’t set.
I’m just so stressed. I’m sorry if this is coming across as word vomit but I need somewhere to vent because I don’t want to stress out the wife, me.
Sorry for the damage. It looks repairable. Was watching a lot of video from Houma, knew you live in that area, felt bad for you. That area took a terrible beating for hours. Good luck tomorrow.
Good lord. I hope you and your family are alright.Quote:

The real question will be water damage inside. I had forgotten about mold. It's not much of an issue up here, but down there...it's hard to dry anything out.
They have state troopers on the highways not allowing people in. I'm not able to make it to my house.
Apparently the natural gas facility down the bayou had a leak and so they had to cut the gas. Unfortunately, this means that people who have natural gas generators and stayed can't use them. My neighbor is one of those people, she's 85 and on oxygen.
I moved to the Florida Keys only a week or two after hurricane Andrew. The high speed lane of he interstate was reserved for emergency vehicles only. For months afterwards, large piles of debris began forming in rows, where it was being dumped as neighborhoods were cleaned. What it really showed was how poorly the houses had been built. In your case, it looks like you house was pretty solid. Protecting an asphalt shingle roof from those winds is probably asking a bit much. Perhaps there's a better roofing option that you could look into while you wait? I don't know of one, but there might be one.
lmao :dQuote:

Is that you on the left ;) :D

We finally heard from my mother-in-law. Her and her parents are safe.
No, I think that picture was taking in western Washington, where salmon often cross the road in floods, as shown there. In my case, there was no water on the road...just a fish walking across it.Quote:

IÂ’m not in a good place. There is substantial damage.
Sounds like you've make it back home. Don't waste your energy on what's already happened, save it for moving forward and rebuilding. Good luck.
Structural damage? Water damage?
The roof is clearly a loss, based on the pictures, but that's relatively easy to repair. Windows aren't hard, either, though a bit of a nuisance. Water damage though....that one can do you in.
When I was growing up, my neighbors house burned somewhat. The fire damage was limited to part of the second floor, but the water damage from extinguishing the fire meant that pretty nearly the entire house was gutted and rebuilt.
There’s water in every room but the master bedroom and the main bathroom.
