We stayed at our home in Covington (outside New Orleans) during Katrina and watched it all through the floor to ceiling windows that were in every room and we could not cover them with plywood because you couldn't get any and there was no way to get it done in time even if you could.
All I can say is "Praise to the awesome power of God." It was amazing. Our property is heavily wooded and good thing we had cut most of the pines that were immediately next to home just a few years prior because we watched hundreds of huge old pines just sway right over to the ground, roots and all. These were old growth pine trees -huge - just layed down like nothing to it. Well didn't just lay down - hit with a force that shook the ground like an earthquake and for hours they fell and boomed and shook the ground. Amazing. When it was all over we had over 100 felled pines in our "yard" alone, we didn't bother going into the wooded areas to assess damage. But we also had over 100 little ponds they left when the root ball and all came up plus the water and sewer pipes and electrical wiring they uprooted. What a mess to clean up. Best thing to come of the storm was a couple of days after it hit someone knocked on our door and it was my son, who was supposed to be in Kuwait serving in Army. They had let him return to New Orleans to help us. With all the damage around us I was so grateful to see him. How he got in I have no idea, roads were impassable, airport was closed for months - he flew into another city and got a ride in. We were without electricity for two months. But God is good, our home had very, very minor damage (a small hole in roof) and we were fine and my son got to come home and help us with clean up. We got to sit and watch a category 5 hurricane pass right over and lived to tell the tale and it was an awesome thing to see but if I never have to see another one that is great by me.

o wow i cant imagine cleaning up all those pine trees, did you fill in all the holes or do the chickens have little pools now? thats good about your son coming home. ive been to covington, madisonville is around there right?
I hope it still counts... I am from Lafayette! (Actually Vermilion Parish) I've only been in Texas for 7 years now! Glad to see I've got "family" here at BYC... now when I mention boiled crawfish, crawfish etoufee, and shrimp stew people wont look at me like I'm crazy...
