Hellbender 266 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Howdy Folks, We're hoping that this next hurricane will save us the trouble of us having to demolish the only stage building that wasn't completely destroyed by the last hurricane. The Saloon has to come down one way or the other. Thanks for all your prayers - we can really use them!

Trailrider #896 1,800 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Have you thought about moving a short distance North and West? Say, maybe to Iowa? All kidding aside.... Best of luck! Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss 1,167 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hang in there Pard! I will make a trip over once you get the range rebuilt. And will make a side trip to The Boudin King in Lake Arthur! Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom, SASS #54973 4,686 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yeah, but it looks like you'll have some good barn wood to rebuild with Always look on the bright side of life! Link to post Share on other sites

All kidding aside.... Best of luck! Thanks! I first thought you were talking about a small town located near Lake Charles by the name of Iowa (pronounced I -Oh - Way) until I looked again and saw the direction you gave for Iowa. Iowa, Louisiana is only 10 miles due east of us! Link to post Share on other sites

When you do come to Lake Charles you should go by the Market Basket grocery store on Nelson Road - they have just about the best boudin for sale in their deli that I've had. And if you like boudin balls, go farther to Billy's Boudin and Cracklings in Scott LA just before the Lafayette exit on I-10. They are the absolute best! See you a Defend the Fort!

Marauder SASS #13056 1,059 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Cheer up! According to the theory of evolution, eventually a tornado or hurricane will build a good stage or house for you! Link to post Share on other sites

Hellbender, that saloon has quite a "patina" to it. Maybe just needs a bit of duct tape? Link to post Share on other sites

I made it back this morning and didn’t notice much additional damage coming in except some big freeway signs were down and the 8’ tall chain link fence around the destroyed bank on Ryan Street was broken up.. My neighborhood doesn’t look any different. Big debris piles at curb still there except a few of the limbs are now sticking out farther, and I had to drive around a couple black plastic garbage bags in the middle of the street. All tarps still on roofs. Can’t speak for the rest of the town - I hear some houses got flooded and people had to get rescued. I’ll see if the damaged Saloon is still standing out at the cowboy town later today (I hope it’s down from this storm). thanks Marauder! Hellbender Link to post Share on other sites

Smoken D 2,058 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 For your information the Missouri Disaster Relief will be setting up at Lafayette, LA. I would imagine it will be at the 1st Baptist Church. Everyone from here is leaving to set up tomorrow and hopefully set up and running by Tuesday. We serve up to 15,000 meals a day. I came to DeRidder and wanted to come this time but circumstances will not allow me. Best of luck to everyone. Link to post Share on other sites
