Hurricane Barry Made Landfall in Louisiana Recently

A bridge before hurricane arriving

We, Louisiana residents just experienced with Hurricane Barry landfall. The category 1 hurricane then weaken to be tropical storm.

Hurricane category 1 means that wind speed range from 74 to 95 mph per hour or 119 km to 153 km per hour.

Hurricane Barry brought 3 things to Louisiana:

- wind

- rise of water level

- rain

Branches fall down

More than 70 thousand residents, included our house have no electricity during Hurricane Barry in action.

Ourselves in the dark since Saturday (July 13, 2019) to Monday (July 15, 2019). We slept with candle light in the night.

Water level on rises

We can’t cook, can’t turn on AC and no digital devices. Windows are opened to reduce heat. Live like backward.

We saw some branches of our trees as well as branches of our neighborhood’s trees were falling down. 

Ice was sold out in a Walmart grocery

Ice and bread are sold out in the near by Walmart groceries. No McDonald, Taco Bell and franchises opened during rainy and windy days.

Luckily, we found some ready to eat foods in Walmart neighborhoods. We also could buy fruits, cakes, juices and some soft drinks.

A corner after hurricane

Actually, this hurricane was not that hard compared to Katrina hurricane in 2005. We have no electricity almost one month. Very bad.

The hurricanes season are expected until October or November every year. However, hopefully, there is no hurricane to hit our area anymore.

One hurricane is enough for this year.
