Hi Barb, I am from South Louisiana also. Lived in Metairie and St Rose. For 35 years before moving to Bay St Louis, MS.
We sold our place on the water 2 years ago and moved to Mid Alabama to get away from Hurricanes. Last year we got hit by a hurricane and our whole little town was without power for 4 days. Of course we had generators and was brewing coffee and cooking by daylight that morning. People where amazed that we were so prepared. But of course as good old South Louisiana folks we feed everyone we could and shared what we had. We made the local TV news about how we moved a couple of our generators around to help folks on home oxygen. Was awesome to be able to help others.
I am now in north GA taking care of my 80 year old father. But still miss home!!!
Stay safe, and leave the light on. May have to come back home some day!
