Well I am from the South-West part of Lafayette Parish and right now I am very lucky to have power. Last night at about 3:30 AM we were getting around 65-75 MPH (Gusting at about 90) sustained winds with a wall of water being hammered into the east side of the house. We lost power at about 8:30 PM and got them back around 5:00 PM the next day. It was a very interesting night to say the least. We have multiple branches down in our yard with one really huge branch that figured to go ahead and spare our house and fall oppisite ways, thankfully. Unfortunately other areas don't have power in Lafayette much less west of us either. I hope everyone that got pounded by this hurricane is alright and god bless all.
