A couple of my coworkers who do Facebook had some gruesome photos of the damage at Port Fourchon. I’m surprised no one started a thread on it yet? Who has good pics?

Considering that IDA was almost at category 5 when made landfall and that Port Fourchon took a direct hit, I am surprised at the damage is only limited to what it is. I really expected to see vessels rolled over at their berths and the large C-Port buildings simply vanished. I figured they’ll have …

Last year I called VTS Galveston and after confirming I was a supply boat he just said come on in. It’d be a nice change of scenery to work outa there for a bit.
