In August of 1856, a strong hurricane hit the coast of Louisiana and killed at least 200 people. Last Island was completely destroyed. The romantic story was that people were dancing and drinking through the night in advance of the storm.

Track of Gustav to show where Last Island was on the coast.
In July 2021 I have been reducing the amount of stuff I have in the freezer, which is normally pretty full of prepared food, so I won't lose much if the power goes out for an extended time. Last year hurricane season was a nightmare. Every other week we had another one coming right at us.
