lost their cat 2 days ago, called for him and looked everywhere and I can’t find him! He’s a very sweet cat, gets scared easily. Lost him on Dean Day Road in Sulphur. If anyone finds him my number is 3375158801. Here is a picture of him. I’ve had him since he was a baby. Usually he comes home, but he hasn’t this time.

Did anyone in our community receive damage from yesterday's storms or have video of the tornado that was reported on HRR?

Can y'all keep an eye out for my neighbor's sweet little dog please? She's completely deaf & blind but is super sneaky when she catches the front door open & she can travel impressively far for being 17 yo. She means the absolute WORLD to my sweet neighbor!
TIA!!!

I would like to give a big shout out to Broussard's Outdoor Dream's LLC!!!
Bryan rewired Mama's entire house, put in a new breaker panel, all new breakers, new service outside, all the new outlets Mama can handle, a shower light, a vent/light/heater combo in her bathroom, an outlet for her porch, took out & hauled off her dishwasher, went & bought the one she wanted & installed it with his son's help. He & his wife Shelli also got all the permits needed & scheduled & worked with Entergy to switch her over to the new service.
We give them bonus points for actually showing up, (iykyk) cleaning up after himself, not asking for a single penny during the job (just the normal deposit beforehand), they kept us posted & were very responsive when we reached out. They even messaged me to make sure mom was warm during the last cold snap before the job actually even started! It was a big job that they kept on schedule & showed so much respect.
We will definitely use them again in the future & I highly recommend y'all give them a call for anything you need done!!! 👏🏼🛠️👷‍♂️

Just a reminder:
We are going into the coyote mating season. During January and February they are extemely agressive and active. Coyotes will be on the prowl looking for food. They have been known to scale a 12ft fence with ease. They have adapted to being the best skilled hunters and they go into people's backyards all the time and on front porches. They are becoming less afraid of humans because of habitat loss & they are learning our behaviors. Be very mindful of EVERYTHING around you, especially if you free range your chickens or ducks. DO NOT just let your dogs or cats out to potty by themselves!!! I would also suggest not letting your kids play outside after dark without you. We don't wanna lose any babies of any kind this year, so please be aware of your surroundings!
Feel free to share!!!

Anyone missing a Muscovy duck? One showed up here yesterday 5/18/23, off of West Houston River Rd.

If anyone knows the driver of this truck you need to have a conversation with him. He looked to be an elderly gentleman, there was a truck on side of the road on Claiborne he almost side swiped, the curve onto koones he was in the ditch, he would zoom up to probably 60, then coast to about 25-30, very erratic.

Having had the tough conversation with my mother when she was no longer safe to drive I can say 1st had it's hard. Hope he makes it to his destination safely.
