Baton rouge weather update #2

Post by joslef10 »

"And the walls came tumbling down"!!!At app 2:10 pm9/01/08 (my orig post) we lost pwr...At app 6PM we lost att land line (no dial tone) The whole B.R. area lost pwr in the next 12 hrs including the most of state...
Tue sept 2nd Entergy rptd 287,000 cust were without pwr. Tue sept 2nd at
about 3pm we were hit with 91mph winds fm Gustave...The whole eastern
half of La is really devasted...My BF has functioned wonderfully!! I moved it to one of my daughters house since her gen failed..Wed my son in law was able to purchase a couple gen (5500 watt) Now back at home enjoying our BF & some roof & fence damage. we loaded up on supplies
before the storm & unloaded the house frig into the BF. Entergy has 33% of power up so far (not us yet)... Many Hi lines are down, complicating
getting pwr up...Fema (yes Fema) is supplying massive amounts of ice,
MREs,blue tarps,& food & water. Things are 200% improved over Katrina.
Some parts of B.R. will be without pwr 14 to 21 days. J & E Lefebvre

Joe and Edith,

Thanks for the report. Glad your 1999 BF 24' RB coach is working just great.
