Riding Out Hurricane Francine

As Hurricane Francine is about to hit the coast of Louisiana I try and give some perspective of being in the path of the storm.  At one point Baton Rouge was directly in the path of the eye which can be the worst part of the storm.  For some reason once Francine hit land it veered right and headed towards New Orleans.  We still had heavy winds and non-stop rain for at least 8 hours.  During the night I looked into my front yard and notice half of one of my large oak trees was down.  As the sun came up I was able to assess the overall damage and now know I lost a big tree and possibly a few more.  It fell away from the house which is good because had it fallen on the house it might have exactly where I was sitting in the living room.  But alas it did not and all is good.KF
