Terrebonne Parish, where I use to live, was again slammed by a hurricane. Although Hurricane Ike made landfall over Texas, its effects spread across the coast. Here are a few sample pictures of the area.
These are pictures of Dulac (Dulac is...Dulac is...Dulac is a perfect plaaaaace!):
Near the Houma Airport where Brian use to work:
I gave up a long time ago wondering why people continue to live at 14 or less feet above sea level. However, I could not help but double over laughing at these pictures:
This last picture made me laugh the hardest. The folks sitting out front in their chairs (or back of a mini van) watching the world go by...in today's case, it's a boat. I can't tell you how many times I saw this scenario (minus the boat and water): Sunday afternoon, Halloween, Mardi Gras Parade...flood. Any given day (rain, shine, or flood) you'll find people out in their chairs. Nothin' else to do, it's too hot. I don't know if its funny to anyone else, or if it's a "you had to be there" kind of thing. It sounds like our church stayed out of the water, though not all the ward members were so lucky. While I'm more than relieved to have moved before all the action, a part of me wishes I was down there to help my friends. I enjoyed the beautiful pre-fall weather for ya'll today, because I know in February you'll be loving life while I'm freezing through another endless winter.
