[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3629232, member: 15643"] I have friends that live near Lafayette and they missed it but east of there sounds pretty bleak. This from one of their friends on FB. The two destroyed parishes mentioned are right on the gulf SW of New Orleans. The others just to the east. I'll take a tornado path of any size over a 200 mile wide hurricane. Sounds like Ida lived up to the hype. "CURRENT SITUATION- Terrebone and LaFourche Parish are destroyed. I just starting crying when I found out how bad it really is there. Both parishes have been utterly devastated. Plaquemines Parish had levees fail - severe flooding. Kramer Parish levee failed - severe flooding. Jefferson Parish is without power and water pressure is close to nil because the roots of the uprooted trees have ripped out the water lines. Levees failed. Water level was over 20 ft in Golden Meadows - several people are still missing. Sewer and drainage has failed. New Orleans is without power. Sewer and drainage is failing. Water is expected to be lost soon if not already. All 8 of the main power transmission lines are annihilated. The entire system fell in the river. Cell towers are down everywhere - this goes for the vast majority of Southeast Louisiana. No comms. Rescues are still being conducted for Hammond, Harvey, Marrero and La Place. It's extremely bad and the roads to get in and out are impassable. Matthews and Raceland have downed trees and powerlines all over the highway. Grand Isle has a group of 40 people that they lost comms with and the entire island was under water. People that are coming in from Texas in the morning- use the WAZE app. Lafayette is probably the last place you will find gas on your way in. Make sure you bring enough fuel with you to get around and get back out. Please bring food for the rescuers. They need to be fed and need beverages to drink.
