How's Ike treating everyone in South Louisiana?

I've been getting hammered with winds up to 60mph all day, look's as bad as Gustav.

Not to bad here yet. starting to get tornado warnings in some storm cells but the wind and rain is off and on. the wind is steady maybe 15 to 20 mph with 30 to 35 mph gusts. from what the news is showing it looks like evey thing on the cost will be under water, I hope ya'll stay save

Ike

Well im an ex-south louisiana person now into houston area. Got news that the house has water (2 in+) and about 4 ft of water in the street. still pounding rain and high winds in the area.

Gotta say thanks to the neighbors who tore down the fence to save the house from flooding tight packed wood vs standing water = flooded house haha

Spent part of today picking up debris and then cutting the grass. Wind's are still about 20-25mph. Crazy weather but at least the lovebugs are gone!

Up here south of Ft. Worth, Texas, our power went out for two hours, which isn't ynusual with windy conditions in my neighborhood. Been a lot of rain, gusty winds. We're just getting the outer edges of Ike.

I can't imagine what you guys along the Gulf coast are dealing with each season! God Bless!

Pawpaw how was the storm surge. My grandfather lives in Franklin, St Mary parish and the surge brought about 6inch of water in his house,good thing they didn't get much rain or it would have been worse.

The surge was'nt as bad as first thought, lower Lafourche,Terrebonne and lower Jefferson (Lafitte and Grand Isle) got water pretty bad. No water in Lockport but I did get some more wind damage.

Ike in Galveston County

Ike left a mess and chaos around Houston, however, all the long term damage is around Galveston and all coastal areas around TX and LA.

I didnt get power until Monday morning and back to work on Friday. Everyday is a step closer to normal but not for coastal area residents...
