Our daughter-in-law grew up in New Orleans and her parents and sisters are there as I write this and Ida’s eye is hitting shore. Circumstances were such that they couldn’t leave to get out of harm’s way as they have done many times. They know this one is going to be really bad. We can only pray for them.
She and our son were planning to retire on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain near Slidell LA, dock their boat behind the house and go fishing every day. Their dream is to spend six months there and the summers thru change of colors in their house in Michigan.
Ida may change those plans. Ida is pushing a huge storm surge right into Lake Ponchartrain. There may not be much left on the north shore after the hurricane finishes.
