I have so much sympathy for our neighbors to the west. They were hospitable to so many LA citizens for a very long time after Katrina. I hope the caring Texas Realtors know that we have not forgotten your help in 2005. We are here to help you now. If you had to leave your home because of storm damage, we are ready to help you in north LA, too.
The news media reports that Ike missed LA and moved into TX. Here are a few pictures of what Ike left us. If we missed the main part of the storm, just imagine what happened in Texas.
This is Middendorf's Restaurant, a local favorite. It's off I-55 south of Hammond, LA. During one of my stops here on my way to New Orleans, restaurant staff told me proudly that this building did NOT flood during Katrina.
This is something we always like to see--trucks from Entergy, the regional utility company. Here, they are on the way to Port Fourchon, LA.
This shot is from Lake Charles, in southwestern LA. Blackjack anyone?
If you're moving to LA and nervous about flooding, rest assured that we take flooding very seriously throughout the state. Declared flood zones are always disclosed, and owners are required BY LAW to inform you if water has ever entered the property by flooding or by wind and rain. Your buyer's agent will make sure you are made aware of all the facts when purchasing property in any area that has been affected by a storm.
