Hurricane IDA

[Russo]

The eye of the storm rolled over my shop a week ago. 50 miles in every direction is completely devastated. This thread is for those of us locally in Louisiana who may be affected, like myself. How are you guys holding up? If there's anything I can do for our SVT family please PM me. My house is still standing, but my shop is a wreck! Hopefully we get power back in a couple weeks.

They have guys out there working day and night to get the power back on, from what I was told is 30k plus broken or down poles, double from Katrina. They're hoping to get power back by Oct 1st

My company sent some linemen and trucks up to help. They mentioned it was one of the worst recovery efforts in recent memory. The Co-op that we are helping has been restored with only 25% remaining out of power. No exactly sure where in relation it is to where the eye pasted through

There are many companies here helping from all over. Even Connecticut!
