Coming Home...Post-Isaac

J & I returned home today.

I guess you can say that we are certainly lucky as there is NO damage at our home. We are thankful for no damage but there was certainly a huge mess when we returned yesterday afternoon. Leaves and sticks were everywhere!

Here is how it looked....

Front yard

Courtyard

It took J and I hours to get things cleaned up, but the yard is back to "normal".

We are still without electricity. It is HOT. I hope Entergy connects us soon, or I might melt.

This map from Entergy shows the power outages in red...not good:(

Thanks to all my blogger friends for the prayers and thoughts. I love hearing from you.

Please keep those families who were less fortunate in your prayers. There were many people who had to evacuate due to rising flood waters.

Goodbye Isaac, Goodbye!

Our neighborhood prepares...Hurricane Isaac

This blog was originally scheduled for yesterday, but my plans kinda changed due to Isaac and moving to the Quarter to ride out the storm at the Maison Dupuy. It isn't always easy blogging during a storm.

It is still raining cats and dogs. The winds are still very strong. We remain glued to WWL-TV, Louisiana's News Leader.

I thought it was interesting to show you how my neighbors prepared their homes for the wrath (and I do mean wrath) of the effects of Hurricane Isaac.

Closing shutters...

Boarding up...

Parking cars on the "neutral ground"...

Hopefully on tomorrow's blog, I'll show you the neighborhood & my yard after Isaac.... stay tuned! We are planning at this time to go back Uptown at some point today.

Well prepared, y'all!

Isaac Makes Landfall...We are fine!

Good Morning, y'all.

J & I are currently staying at the Maison Dupuy in the historic French Quarter. The restaurant and bar are open for business.

J is busily working at the moment making certain that everything digital is A-OK with WWL-TV's website.  J is Director of Digital Media at WWL-TV, Louisiana's News Leader. He has been constantly fielding calls, putting out "fires", and making certain that the content side of the site is bringing you, the masses, the most up-to-date information through words and video.
WWL-TV's website streams live video bringing the most up-to-date coverage to all. Even without cable, the live streams are working great on computers and on mobile devices. What did we all do without all of this technology?

We are staying here another day and night. We have A/C. We have electricity. We have ample food and drink.

Keep all Southern Louisianians in your thoughts and in your prayers. Isaac is moving so slowly, so we still have a long time to go. The wind is crazy violent.

I am having my coffee tawk though I'd rather have my coffee in my oyster shell coffee mug on my sofa.

I hate to see pictures like this from an area south of New Orleans.
