John "Bo Duke" Schneider had his studio in Holden Louisiana damaged by Hurricane Ida. And had a large tree fall and crush his General Lee.

Hurricane struck mid jump, I see?

I could have taken 1000s of pics.
Here is a 2 story home, only 1st floor left.
What you are seeing is the 1st floor, The gable roof gone, front and back gone. Just one side of the second-floor that if leaning. onto the bottom floor that is not the roof on that side.
The is a smaller home. The front deck, porch, living room, and bedroom are gone. That is the center of the home {peak of the roof just like the home next to it that is tilted sideways from the wind. The wind took the front half of the home the tree smashed it to breaking the remaining rear in half . So what you are looking at is the center of the house. Crazy that the wind tore the home to bits and sent it God knows where in little pieces.


A note this is 5 min from. my home in an older section built in the 50-60s.
Mine was built July- August 1977. So much larger, fireplace and we spent lots on safety if a storm or flood came

So sad to see! The same storm has created tornadoes up here along with heavy rain. Even Manhattan had a tornado warning, not sure I have ever seen that before. At one point an inch of rain fell in 6 minutes, equating to 5" per hour. Probably 10"+ here so far, never seen so much water in the yard

I saw that on TV this storm packed power but was bad since the ground speed was slow.
It stands in location a long time. So more tornadoes.
Normaly they cone and go on.it just sat with high winds for almost 13 hours with a howling steady. And them bad gust even worse.
Then something would hit the shutters or bricks or roof with a bang.
Something hit the fireplace pipe and cap sounded like a car accident.
I did see lots of builds that you could see were not built right. Bricks with no straps to frame so all the bricks just fell off. Things like that.
Roofs with one nail on each side of shingle instead of the properof 4 or 5 like they should have. Even saw one roof get done with nail the middle by my dad's home. I was watching when they nailed It. Get It done and move on to another job. I knew ot woukd no take any wind.
It never had a chance.
It is a shame but we see it on construction our cars etc. cheats and no goods in all professions.
I bet that house made from old battery cases would have come threw with no damage. To heavy to blow away. And the bugs holding the rafters together would have worked overtime

Hey man. I know other have said it, but I want to as well; I'm glad you and your family are doing well (relatively speaking).
I commend you for being true to the Louisiana spirit; In a time of need, doing for others with all you have to spare.
