Reports from Houma indicate that sustained winds of 100 to 110 with gusts of 130 when eye wall passed over. That's from a weather station at one of our (LSU AgCenter) research stations there. Meanwhile, lights continue to flicker here in Gonzales.
For what it's worth, the info I provided about Houma is confirmed. It's from a site I *had* connectivity to up until about 15 minutes ago.
Unconfirmed reports... -Galliano Food store roof has been blown away *** Confirmed... my buddy lives directly behind this.. and I have to friends that live right north of it.. -Larose Lower Elementary roof has been blown away. -9 foot of water in Fourchon. -A house boat has gotten loose in Larose and has hit a bridge.
I figured yours was legit. Some of the other stuf I've heard: Montegut, Chauvin, and Pointe-Aux-Chenes levees have failed Marty J's (chauvin) roof is gone Dock N Shop (Boudreaux Canal) is no longer in existance Houma Civiv Center roof is severly damaged/gone none of this has been confirmed officially.
