I lived in Plaquemines Parish, LA for years and lost all but my car in Betsy, 1995? (Opps 1965) Of course that parish was, is ruled by a few. Any one remember Judge Perez on tv? It's a low place with only one road out. When you get people comming from offshore the road can get clogged becaused there were only 2 bridges across the river from the westbank. I remember a few times on IS 10 where the assholes turned the 2 lanes into 5, because Betsy was fresh in their minds. Anyway from the WaPo. "Neighboring Plaquemines Parish, by contrast, issued its order Aug. 27, helping to hold the number of storm deaths there at three."
BTW What I meant about ruled. You couldn't buy rolling papers or anything like that in stores. The jail at Point-a-la hatch? was rough I heard.

When I first worked offshore the oil cos. didn't pay much attention to storms, but after they got it broke off in ther butts a few times they learned. That became a pain. Living where i'm now at. Sometimes you would be out of, say Camron,LA and get sent in. Time you got home was a call to come back.
Stay if you like. It always gave me a few days off.
