them MREs kick @$$ !!

Not much, but we're down here. road and land ends about 3 miles from my house heading south, about 1/4 mile from my house heading east.

true dat!

i knew there was land...but i didn't know you could drive 20 minutes south of houma....maybe it's a real curvy road?

TRAFFIC!!!:cuss:
Without it, I could be in Thibodaux in less than half an hour.

Just made it back from Birmingham today. Been there since 9/1. House fine, but a big cleanup job. My neighborhood was hit pretty hard. Guess I lucked up.

Couple of pics from the point of landfall:

Here's why we were out of power for so long....this was the scene EVERYWHERE down here



A house at the end of my grandfather's street



What's left of my granfather's barn (old one hasn't been used in years) and some debris that came from god knows where (that Cherokee was my 1st car)

Yeah, but why would you want to?

It's on my way to Tiger Stadium (if I take the "old" route).:thumb:

Nutria, don't tell me those relatives of yours will turn that debreeze
into "shed gumbo"!:geaux:

Winds kicking up right now from Ike. Feed bands seem to be heading our way this evening.
