It wasn't too long ago I bought 1/2" CDX for ~$15 a sheet. I have a nice stock pile of 1/2".... some 5/8" CDX and 5/8" T1-11, also.

Went to get more 1/2" sheets, today, for boarding up my brother's windows, in the Lake Charles area. Price at Doug Ashy is $32 a sheet, Home Depot is $30 a sheet, Lowes is $29 a sheet.

Our only consolation is doing some hoodoo, maybe send Laura Leon's way, since he and folks that way seem to have an affinity for storms and high water.

Thank you Sonny, NO THANK YOU. It's "your storm". But in hind site
it appears that the storm surge was pretty much a non event. We heard
it would be 20 feet deep near Lake Charles. We watched a local reporter
from Houston showing what was going on in Vinton this morning. She was
showing the storm serge by standing in a rain filled ditch. No water in
the streets. The media gives Saturday Night Live a run for its money.

The 20' storm surge prediction was from the National Weather Service/NOAA,
who said the "worst case" storm surge could reach 20'.

You can't blame the media for reporting the facts.

Actually I was not blaming the NWS and I agreed that 20" would be bad.

What I said was that the storm surge was a non event and the local
Houston reporter was trying to make it look like the storm surge
actually happened. She demonstrated this by showing that when she
appeared standing in a rain filled ditch the water was up to her knees.
The street beside the ditch and the grass in front of the ditch had no
standing water.

So the media/local news person from Houston, was grossly trying to
distort the facts into something that did not actually happen where she
was, west of Lake Charles. Fake news.
