Kicks Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 On Monday we will be allowed to enter Jefferson Parish to take photos of our property for insurance claims. We will also secure the property and grab the things we will need until we will be allowed to move back in. Right now I'm at my father-in-law's house in a small town called La Place, about 20 miles from my house. People are sitting in their parked cars only the highways leading in to Jefferson Parish so they have a place in line to enter the parish tomorrow. I'm seeing and hearing many, many helicopters (Coast Guard, Military, Police, and Commercial) flying in and out of the city. I'm also seeing military cargo planes flying in and out. Its a constant buzz. I saw a few Black Hawks flying in too. I just heard on the news that there was a civilian helicopter crash this evening in New Orleans. Both people in it survived. I wonder if they were shot at. Some Corps of Engineers were shot at today and the police shot and killed the sniper and five others that were with him. Its crazy here!My brother-in-law was going in with me tomorrow with his truck but he just backed out. So I'll go in with my wife and oldest son in the Saturn and hope I can drive my truck out with the things we need. I'm bringing a chain saw in case I have to cut my way out. Parish officials said they will get us as close to our property as they can but we can expect to have to hike in. We are bringing food and water for the day. There are no utilities, no water or power. We are told to take all out food out our refrigerators and bury it in our yards because there will be no garbage pickup for weeks or months. Gotta go. I'll keep y'all posted.Kicks when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes
