From one cousin's email to her brother
"Sorry we got cut off...At any rate what I was trying to say was ....Maybe tomorrow I can get to Lowe's and get matching shingles...It's a very small area about a yrd or 2 on the first row of shingles.
And a small area of siding...Maybe I can just nail it...I dunno...and just put the rest of the metal for the awning under the house until ALL of the storms go by...I've love to see it twisted back into the side awning....an original that is not replaceable...The screening also needs repair but I know how to do that. Up early Monday as soon as Lowe's opens. Do you think I can climb on the roof? I dunno...guess I can.
Everyone is struggling ..exhausted...no elec on Jean, Jay and Mark's side of town yet...Jean still at Van's but Glenn here...same for Jason...He does have electricity..
Mark was suppose to travel back to Houma today...No home or camp damage...Offered me freezer food from camp...but at the time my elec was off...no place to store anything and had given all my food to my neighbor's church group.....
Louis and Dana are home...visited there yesterday ...no change there. He did have a generator...The trees in front of his house topped...those tall pines...just snapped...no water damage though....thank God...
Talked to Harlan he was out and about on errands...guess he found his land legs once again...
Made a chicken spaghetti today....because this is the first day I can cook....delicious!
Roof of the dialysis place looks all damaged to me. Alice said they called to tell her no dialysis Mon...So she's still in Reserve...
Doing dialysis there. That proved to be a good alternative...She feels comfortable there...she's used to them. For a catergory 5...I'm flying her ass to Atlanta! Gonna have to save fare an unexpected fare WITH a big luggage bill! OMG!
More in time when we all get back to Houma. Aunt Jeanette's staying in Lafayette until they figure out what what Ike's going to do....
Found out Aunt Tee is at Jane's in Thibodaux...They just got elec back...Aunt Tee sleeps thru most of the storm...caretakers are there...
Aunt Ray was taken to Alexandria...Not sure how she got there...I spoke to Bonnie. She in a camper at Percy Quin State Park...Her kids are close by....Carolyn and PC are in a hotel room in Alex...near where they are keeping Aunt Ray.... aunt Ray needs familiar things, people around her as she is very disoriented since her fall...She requires close supervision...she tends to wonder off....she'd be quite lost in Alex if she did that...Joanie is w/ Aunt Jeanette...as is Peggy and George....We had fun together...Marie is working in Dallas...She took Marks kids to 6 Flags
more info on the recovery...if Ike comes...I'm at peace with that"
