Gustav rode high over New Iberia with little impression in my mind. Many people felt its pain, with high water and no power, but for me, and my family, the storm did little to harm us.
Now for its brother, Ike was a tough S.O.B. with water being its most dangerous memory.
I could get to Saint Mary’s Parish during Gustav, but Ike swelled the Gulf so that two days later, we still cannot return. Power and flooding seems to be a fact that will remain for days, with weeks before the repairs to bridges out. I can only hope, all will get though these next few days knowing, this too will pass.
Hopefully I will have video converted soon.
