Update on Family in Dutchtown

Just got the latest update from my mom, Diana, in Dutchtown (Geismar), LA. She said that the electricity was still out since about 11am but that they were running a few things like the frig/freezer, TV, & a few lights with the generator from their RV. The whole area is without electricity including Aunt Betty & Uncle Louis (& my in-laws) down the street and all the stores have been shut down since yesterday. They lost the fence on one side of the house. It blew against the side of the RV and Barry tried to move it, but that was during all the wind so he didn't have much luck. She said as far as they can see right now there isn't any damage to the RV. Everyone is fine that we know of.

Aunt Betty & Uncle Louis moved their new car to their daughter Heidi's house, but a pine tree in their yard came down on one or two of the vehicles still parked in their driveway. I am not sure where all their children stayed, but Aunt Betty & Uncle Louis stayed hunkered down at their house. I know their daughter Heather lives in a trailer so I am hoping they did not stay there.

That's all I have right now on any of the Capello Family down there.
