ST. PETER'S CATHOLIC CHURCH , COFFINS FLOATED MANY MILES AWAY
WOOD FLOORS TORN AND WARPED, PICTURES CAN'T DESCRIBE THE DESTRUCTION
DAVID'S PARENTS HOUSE- 4-6 FEET OF WATER THRU OUT THE FIRST FLOOR, THEY HAVE NEVER FLOODED, EVER
SITTING ROOM, DAVID'S PARENTS, MUD, DEBRIS, WATER- THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE, SMELLS LIKE SEWAGE AND MARSH MUD, NOTHING IS SALVAGEABLE DOWNSTAIRS, ALL MUST BE GUTTED, POSSIBLY UPSTAIRS DUE TO AIR BORNE BACTERIA

WE SURVIVED IKE!

We are still here. Never lost power, but the air conditioner went out. Can not complain. Lake Charles is experiencing the worst storm surge and flooding ever in the city's history. Places that have never flooded have flooded. All of our family south of us is under water. 2-10 feet of water. Very sad to see these people go thru this again. We are not able to get down to Cameron Parish, but once we can I will give an update. I have some pictures that I will download later.

I hope you all are safe and as comfortable as you can be. Please let us know if you need anything.

Stay SAFE!!
