Two months after the Category 4 storm slammed southeast Louisiana, Arthur’s life is still rocking like that Chevy Silverado in a hurricane.
His house in Houma was destroyed; he spent days recently sitting outside waiting for federal inspectors to come tell him if qualified for a trailer.
He's staying with his brother-in-law in Houma for now. It’s better than the metal shed he lived in for 19 days after the storm. “Bless his heart,” Arthur said. “I couldn’t have lived in that shed much longer.”
The long-tail effects of Hurricane Ida have given Arthur plenty of company in misery. For legions of beleaguered souls scattered across southeast Louisiana, Ida's violent winds have yet to subside.
