You are not wrong about that and it’s something I’m definitely feeling right now! The initial property damage was one thing- very minimal in the city and my place was fine (bayou areas like Houma and Raceland look like a bomb went off) but now it’s starting to feel a bit ominous. They started voluntary evacuations of New Orleans yesterday. At this point, I’m not sure when I will be back or what exactly I’m coming back to. As far as orchids go, I’m just preparing myself come back to a complete loss of my 400+. Some might make it but if this goes on for several weeks I’m not holding out too much hope.
