A narrow swath?. Hmmm some news organization is lying. The only good thing with this torm was its track. It missed Morgan city and came across less populated area. The trach had it going directly over Baton Rouge but that changed after landfall. I moved to the east by about 50 miles missing Baton Rouge and moving through more rural areas.. The wind damage that this storm produced is one for the record books. There were small communities that will never come back. The storm surge that was more inland was devastating. There are some estimated that a number of areas will be with out power for 2 to 3 moths, and that not on the coast but in areas that are 70 miles north of New Orleans. The big issue now is gasoline. With so many folks living the generator life gas is short supply when you can find it. In our small town there has been one arrest because some one cut in a gas line and the guy jumped out of his can and pulled a gun . Also the number of deaths has been relatively low. One death in Slidell, quite gruesome, a 71 year old man and his wife were evacuating thought flood waters, he was attacked by an alligator and killed. I can't imagine what his wife saw and heard while escaping flood waters.
