Rick, We survived and just got power at 8:30 pm. We lost power at 9:30 am on Wednesday. We are the only ones around to ride it out. I hope that never happens again. It was a direct hit but the house came through good, with lots of tree damage. A ride around Vermilion Parish shows how blessed we are. We have friends 2 miles form here with only two bedrooms standing. There house is a total loss. By the way the best weather man we ever had was Dick Faurot, but he moved to Tulsa I think.
