on your sister's house in Lake Charles?

It looks like they took mostly roof damage, it blew off most of the shingles, and stripped off tar paper. Rain leaked in during the storm, and again the morning after. They don't know how extensive the damage is from that yet, but were able to tarp it yesterday.
Fortunately for LC the storm surge went up into Rockefeller, and spared them from flooding. That would have made things much worse. The wind damage alone is unimaginable.
Is Rockefeller another town? I never heard of it.
It looks like the oak tree in their front yard is still standing, which is incredible. The neighbor across the street has seven trees down, quite a few of them on/in the house, its a mess. Rockefeller is a wildlife refuge in Cameron Parish. I heard the storm surge was 17ft from there to the Mermentau River.
All things considered, both of my sisters faired well, but LC is wrecked. The power grid will have to be completely rebuilt, and the water plants are only producing a trickle of clean water.
