Post Huricane Issac

Wow, I have lived around these storms all my life and have never had all this damage and work.  We lost Craig's car and my Class B van. When they towed the Van off I cried.  Over a vehicle, can you believe.

The Famous Chief and I had some wonderful travels in that thing. 

Everything was drowned.  The lawn mowers, moped, 4 wheeler, air compressor, all the power tools, vacuum cleaner, camping equipment and the list goes on.   Everything in the fridge and freezers.  All the walls are full of mold and have to be washed down.  The water pump is not working and the AC's will need work.

Even with all of this, we are far better off then some of our neighbors.

We could not even get to the house for 6 days.  Not even by boat.  The LAW said if we put our boats in the water or tired to pass them, they would take away the boat and us.

Of course, when the storm hit I did not even blink an eye.  We where in Cody, WY having a grand time.  After all this storm was only a tropical storm.  A class1 at the last minute.  Not sure why all this water happened.  I think some of the protection for the big city of New Orleans actually backed the water up and flooded us.  We had water where we NEVER had water before.

We will clean, work with FEMA and our car insurance until the end of Oct.   Then back on the road and winter with the snow birds.  Time for 'the old folks spring break' party.

 

Hurricane Issac stops our road trip

End of road trip.  We have turned around and are headed back to the house in Louisiana,  seems we have about 3 feet of water in an area that Craig's car is stored.  This will be a 2,000 mile rush.  I guess, we will try to drive to Mission, Tx and leave the motor home there, if we take it to La. and another storm rows in then the motor home becomes a problem. 

A neighbor called and the electric came back on today, but the road is still not passable, with a normal car.  We should get home by Thursday (we left Cody, Wy Aug 31th).  Here's hoping all goes well.
