Some folks have been wondering how the new boat did during her first New Orleans hurricane. Short answer: just fine. She looks exactly like I left her before the storm.

But storm-time New Orleans lakefront is interesting enough. Here's a story in pictures. And one little video at the end.

The sea wall across the street is normally just open. But during storms, it keeps the lake from overflowing into the city.
Over the wall left Rosie and me with a long wet walk to the marina.
The water was clear, and not very deep.
Not the smartest place to leave one's Mustang to ride out the hurricane.
Where does the water in the marina stop and the water over land start?
Our girl is just as we left her.
I don't know how the port-o-john's veil and crown stayed on during a hurricane.
