Yes, Lily was the worst we've had in a long time in the Evangeline/St. Landry/Acadia parish area. Broken trees, damaged roof and worst of all: an invasion of mice looking for high ground! Nasty.
T'as raison, bêbe! We had more downed trees and branches in our pecan grove in Vermilion parish for Lily than any hurricane in recent memory! And Lafayette got pretty beat up too. There were damaged signs and billboards around town for a long time. What year was that one?
Lily was 2002. Came ashore at Abbeville.
Earlier that same year Isidore came ashore at Pass Christian. A two-fer The 2005 Katrina and Rita, now Gustav.
