The future of Gulf region marshlands, as well as Cities and Towns south of I-10 doesn't look so good. With Oceans rising and Land slowly sinking, on top of some of the worst Hurricanes, and Torrential Rainfall records being broken, as well as Freezing Ice Storms wrecking havoc. If "Mercy" exists, one must look at life in a paradoxical mirror or microscope to find any hint of mercy!
What's next, an Earthquake? Pray not!
You will always be in our prayers Roland.
Perhaps now is the time when the wheat is separated from the chafe? By that I mean- the good people of SWLA are being pushed beyond any tests. People began to repair homes, roofs, fences, and everything else. Cleaning the mess up after all these storms and rebuilding, only to have ones hard work destroyed again and again, 4 times over.
When I first arrived in Lake Charles, after driving through Cameron and other outlying areas, seeing houses on stilts over and over again. It told me forefathers of the prior millennium, did not trust the weather. I can still see a single wide trailer north of Moss Bluff that sits atop 4 each 50-60 foot phone poles, with a stairway to the Sky. Outside of Cameron I found entire areas that did not have any trees over 12 ft tall. Our local guide explained the sheer saw blades of hurricanes winds, kept them well pruned.
Lord have Mercy upon the good people of Lake Charles and SWLA! May you find peace, safety and comfort Brother Roland.
