"Oh, the boat was rocking and it was, the A-frames were knocking on the on the porch. And we thought we thought this post was going to break because the front end of the boat is tied to this post, which is the corner post holding the house up right here and it looks like, oh maybe that’s what it was, but it wasn’t it, the frame. The boat was just rocking. It was. It was one wild night. Good thing I had my mother reading for me. I would have really been freaked out, haha."++AUDIO AS INCOMING+

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Debra Matherne, resident:
"It was blowing and my dad’s boat was rocking and knocking on porch because he’s still got his poppy and that A-frames up there and I’m like, Holy crap, we got to get out of here. It’s too late though. We’re not getting out now cause I looked down and my truck was parked right here. My truck started doing this like I gotta go no where now. I don’t know which way to go in the truck take off or stay in the house that rocks. So we stayed in the house and rocked. But as the wind started shifting because of the way that goes, you know."

STORYLINE:
Francine is weakening after striking Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane as it heads far inland from the Gulf Coast.
The system knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses, sent storm surge rushing into coastal communities and raised flooding fears in New Orleans and beyond.
As heavy rain drenched the northern Gulf Coast, New Orleans awoke Thursday to widespread power outages and debris-covered streets.
Along Bayou Pointe-au-Chien, in southern Louisiana’s coast, homes were spared the worst of the storm surge by a robust levee system and floodgate.
Even so, white cap waves formed in the bayou and smashed against the home where Debra Matherne sheltered with her father.
“I don’t know which way to go in the truck, take off or stay in the house that rocks. So we stayed in the house and rocked," said Matherne, 66.
The damage to their home was nothing major, just blown out screens, “It was. It was one wild night."
