Bayou Bound: Delayed But Not Deterred September 2, 2008

Many thanks for all the phone calls and emails enquiring about conditions and needs in Terrebonne Parrish. I don’t have a ton of information to pass along at this point as initial damage assessment is slow going due to numerous downed trees and power lines. Many areas in Terrebonne have limited access even on good days so the full picture is going to take a while to develop. So far I’ve heard of a lot of wind damage, but haven’t heard news of the wide spread flooding that we feared. According to the Houma Courier, Point-aux-Chenes and Isle de Jean Charles does appear to have had some flooding, but specifics are rather limited.

The Bayou Grace team is safe and working to figure out next steps as information begins to come in.

At this point, it appears that residents will not be allowed back in until at least Friday. I hope to arrive some time next week. Stay tuned.
