I live in Ruston, LA and the storm came right through town, we are a 4 hour drive from the gulf. On Saturday 95 % of the town of 25,000 was without power, the sherrif reported over 200 major trees down. The neighboring town of Monroe had 500 utility repair trucks in town. Those out of state crews saved the day! It's tough to be a fat 79 year old without AC. WE will be at least a year cleaning up but we will clean up.
