My parents live in Lacombe and they said they've been without power since Friday night/early Saturday morning. CLECO said they're not expecting power to be back on until 4:00 PM Sunday. Thank God it's cooler out.

I mean, what the hell? Did the weather service drop the ball on this or did it whip up last minute before landfall?

I think we ( between Hammond and slide) caught a squall line and just happened to be the ONLY one this thing created.

But the real issue was it rained all day Friday which caused the ground to be just too soft and weak to hold some trees down in the winds.
