I'm OK. Weakened to a TS before hitting us. Lots of rain and flooding, unfortunately.

Power went out early in the storm. Came back on for a bit and then went off again an hour later. Still off now. Using battery backed up everything. If still off when the sun comes up we'll start the generator.

Wind still gusting but not as much. Rain still pouring and roads have closed due to flooding. The flooding is pretty bad and will be worse by morning. We are on high ground but must cross the bayou to get anywhere, so...we'll see.

Thankfully it is a lot cooler now than it was back in August for Laura. Cool inside the house.

Neighbor lost his fence early on. It was damaged by Laura and not repaired yet. Delta finished it off. Some of it landed at the back of my property but most of it landed on the railroad tracks.

Same idiots who didn't secure their trash cans last time will be looking for them again tomorrow.

We have a shed for ours. Open on one side but we secured them to the cement pad with bungee cords. The pad was poured with hooks embedded for this purpose.

No bad damage as far as we can tell using flashlights. Tree limbs down in yard, along with assorted debris.

Some kind of animal, a few of them by the sounds they are making, has gotten into the storage buildings. Probably looking for safety. We'll worry about what they're up to tomorrow. The vents at the top sides of the buildings are easily pushed in, I guess. I hope the animals are OK. The vents can be replaced. I'll open the doors so they can get out that way once the sun is up.

Hurricane season ends November 30th. Thrill. Thrill.

Everyone in the house is sleeping, except me. I'm the type that needs to wind down. Everyone else is out the second they hit the bed. Most annoying.

Thank you to everyone for their well wishes!

EDIT to add: Beautiful, blue sky day today. Got a nap in and then some chores. Animals were raccoons. Sassy and fat. Left when the door was opened. Power is still off but that's life. Generator running, so have power for the important things - coffee!

Thank you everyone!!
