You didn't say how far south originally! My brother is further south yet. He
lost everything, house and mobile home both, he lived on the coastal road
at the 8 mile mark from Texas, Johnson Bayou. Glad to hear you did ok!

Sorry to read that, thats west of us by 70 miles and ground zero for
where Rita came ashore. I fly due north (if Fort Polk approach lets me)
on trips to Pineville/Alexandria from 4R7...

What Emily left of the south coast road on Cozumel was finished off by
Wilma... Around 15km worth...

There was substantial damage not far from us (like trees through the
middle of the house) but our neighborhood faired pretty well, several
have new roofs, some are still waiting...
