[I make oil]

Wife and kids are in Berwick across the river from Morgan City. She says the wind is pretty bad and lots of rain. Electricity is still on. Tons of pics on FB from the area getting the crap kicked out of us over there it looks like and it's still coming. I'm in Africa at work and wishing I was home. She has everything boarded up and my oldest son is over to help out in case something happens. I wish the damn thing would just speed up and move on. It's only going 6mph and dumping tons of water. My ex lives in Pierre Part and I've been trying to get with her to check on our son but can't get through. I hope they got out of town. My son lives down shell beach on Lake Verret. I just wish he would answer his damn cell phone so I can know where he is and that he is all right.

Also hope Capt. Hoop is alright.

Winds just started to get bad in Pierre part. Steady around 50 right now. The worst will be between 2pm and 7pm. They say we will have winds in excess of 60 for that 5 hour period.

Who is your son?

Sorry guys but I've only been a reader of the site for a couple weeks, but
I've got to ask who is Capt. Hoop and where is he?

Capt hoop is probably doing fine as of now! The water breeched the east bank levees, no word of them breeching the west bank yet! I'm pretty sure he lives between 2 levees on the west side! If the water finds it way in side of those 2 in which it did during Katrina he will be taking shelter in one of those big cats parked in his front yard! God bless and good luck capt Hoop!

Lots of people were rescued from the Braithwaite area. The home of Parish President Billy Nungesser was heavily damaged. He is really pissed about the NHC's inabilty to warn officials with "accurate" details. He said there's no way this is a Cat 1 hurricane. Obviously, the levee down there was not expected to be damaged by this system.

Higher classification = more $$$ for parish. They all do it. That's why they fought 15 years to get Andrew re-classified.
