Hurricane Laura was officially a category 4 storm, but technically it was a category 4.9 and in reality it probably was a category 5.

I've never personally seen damage in the wake of a hurricane as severe and widespread as what I've seen in the wake of Hurricane Laura, and the people in Eastern Texas and Western Louisiana have a long road to recovery. (added Hurricane Delta)

Some Hurricane Laura Recovery Effort Photos - Chainsaw Art

 Some photos from the time I've spent in Louisiana during the Hurricane Laura recovery efforts.


This is a cross I carved with my chainsaw for Pastor Jared Pugh in Moss Bluff, LA as a thank you for all he has done to help the people in the surrounding area.  He has also been very kind to me as well, allowing me to camp out at his church while I'm in the area working. He has helped by providing me with some PPE as well as donating some to my efforts to help me with fuel or whatever supplies I might need. I don't have a job and I don't have money, so this was about the only way I could thank him for all he has done to help me help the people of SWLA by being there with my saw and my experience using it, and to be able to do this free of charge for people who can't do it themselves and can't afford to have it done.


This is the reverse side of that same cross.



Just a shot taken while I was cutting with the saw.



Just a final shot of the cross without my ugly mug in it.






This is a cross I had originally intended to give to the pastor but ended up giving to the people from the biker church who have been at Pastor Pugh's church helping and feeding the community on a daily basis. They seemed to really like it, which is why I carved the pastor a new one. This was the first time I had ever tried to carve something with the saw, and the cross shown above this one was the second time, both of which I carved Sunday, September 20, 2020 before heading home to weather the approaching storm "Beta".
