Checking in!!!
We sustained moderate damage to our home, carport and arena but our barn was completely untouched. All 20 something horses are just fine. Thank you all for thinking of and praying for us during this time.
For those who were asking, we are 2 hours North of Lake Charles, if that helps. We are not super close to the coast but our local meteorologists were concerned due to the geographics of the area in connection with Toledo Bend Lake and projected path and strength of the storm. Luckily for us, Laura went East a little sooner than expected. We sustained winds high enough to damage structures, knock down trees and power lines but we are not in absolute ruins like many of our neighbors to the South. Please pray for them during this time. Some areas are not expected to have electricity for several more weeks.
ETA if any of my fellow BBs need anything or know of someone who does, please let me know! Looking to send down some supplies or help out in any way I can.
Glad to hear that you guys came threw kinda ok.  You just never know where these hurricanes will go untill they get there. | |

The strom surge is going to be catastropic they were saying on the weather channel, this is what really worries me the most..
You safe in your area, Miss R?
You getting any bad weather debra?im wondering about you and NJJ?
We have tornado warnings to the south of us. We are supposed to expect high winds and heavy rain through the night tonight but so far ... so good! I was worried about Three4Luck (Vonda) and rollingrfarm (Karen). They are further south than me.
Glad you are ok,i hope they check in,but i dont see them much here anymore:(
My weather alert radio keeps going off like crazy. We have tornado warnings all over this area. The closest is 20 miles south. I hope it stays south. Vonda checked in on FB....They got wind and about 2.5" of rain. They haven't looked at there crops yet.
I flipped over to WC just a few minutes ago and saw north AR was getting hammered with tornadoes and chances of flash floods---please stay safe up there Miss Norma. . .
We came through the night well .... Tornados (or high winds) went south and north of us. We actually sit at the base and between the foothills of the Ozarks and the Delta plains. I think that helps us with storms. It didn't seem like we even got much wind at all. Usually I lose a few branches, here and there, when ever a "breeze" hits .... I did have a little less than 4" in the rain gauge this morn and still raining lightly. We are expecting more severe weather Sat-Sun ..... Vonda and Karen both weathered the storm well too!
Norma glad to hear that it was a calm night for you and John, hope we get to hear from a few other BB's befor long thats from Louisiana.. Would like to know that they are OK..
I heard from Mel (Bigtime Mistake). She lives around Vinton, LA. They had severe damage to barns/tree/carport. I haven't heard anything from Jennifer (LRQHS). They don't post much here on BHW anymore.
Off topic, but does anyone ever hear from Miss Cat (TreasureHunter)? She lives in Minden LA and stopped coming on here just as Corona hit. I've called and texted and PMed her for months to no avail.
I have family in Minden. Can someone PM me her name and I can try to check on her..
I'm sure Chandlers Mom will see this and pm you when she gets a chance.  | |

I'm ashamed to admit that I only ever called her Miss Cat---I don't even remember her last name. And we talked for over a year. I have looked and can't find anything I wrote down or kept with her full name on it. | |
