Working Louisiana hurricane

[Powerman620]

Spent 7 days working Louisiana hurricane building and repairing power lines. The damage down south is beyond imagination, total destruction. The picture of tents was my hotel, one with trucks is about 1/3 of trucks at our base camp, one of cemetery is an old one we came came across from early 1800’s. These people need prayers and lots of help, it will take a long time before some get power back.

Wish you could tell city of Wagoner that preventive maintenance (just trimming freaking trees) is alot better than having to fix people's power after every rain cloud rolls through town. But yes good men (and women?) Out there working hard.

Good on you for the work you do! Where was that cemetery? I’m guessing further inland and higher up, since the graves are in the ground.

When the hurricane hit Texas a few years ago the Texas governor asked for police officers to come down and help out. I was one of many officers that got chosen to go. Went down to orange Texas and helped out the local law enforcement. They had travel trailers set up for us in a large camp by a chemical plant. Had a large fenced in area with a gate on one of the parking lots. They took good care of us. I remember the smell of dead fish, they were everywhere on the ground. Everything in the camp ran on generators. The only place in the town of orange that had power (Generators) was Walmart and a small Mexican restaurant.
We would go to the Mexican restaurant from time to time and eat.

Cemetery was on first place we went to and work, west of Monroe, next stop where major damage is was Lake Charles.
