when i was 11 i spent 3 weeks on grand isle (after evacuation) and we had 4+ feet of water cover the entire Island, literally paddled myself around and had a blast, but saw alot.. this was Hurricane Juan i believe. I used to spend summers in Grand Isle as a kid so evey year we had Storm parties etc. also family was mayor etc and some never leave, had to stay, we stayed at the school. its a small island.
i witnessed some really bad shit though. Have seen families literally watch their house slip away into water.
In fact, I was part of a volunter program that was trying to save grand isle "beaches" if you call it that, but it failed. now there is only big rocks and barriers, no beach left. its eroding away fast.
family is still there though.
the politicians are my blood, damn republican rednecks.
