poor dean blanchard, now twice at t ed lavandera live at that same house. i know that the eye passed over but i always wonder if the winds continue to push the surge or if you're actually in the clear and things are getting better now. >> reporter: we have been able to see the sun for most of the morning but now we've got some cloud cover here but the winds have considerably died down and that's really what we needed. up until about an hour ago there were still some pretty strong gusts coming out of the south and could you see the water kind of having a hard time receding. but things have changed dramatically here overnight for us since we taped that bit that you just saw on camera there the water is now out of dean blanchard's home. but the roadways are still covered, many of the roadways are still covered. we are waiting a little bit longer to get out. i think the water is still kind of probably bumper high on the cars that we have. so, i don't quite feel comfortable yet getting those cars out there. so, we will be aible to -- we have talked to officials

what we've been trying to get a handle on is this is dean blanchard's shrimping operation. hasn't been able to get the crews over there. there were three or four shrimpers that decided to ride out the storm on their boats. there's three or four guys over there sitting inside those boats. we don't know if that's true, if they are still there or left at some point yesterday when it started getting ready bad. we can't make our way over there. last night it was lit up pretty well. there were lights on that boat that we can still see. the house is completely surrounded by water. the storm and the eye of the storm, we took a direct hit here in the eye of the storm came over and we're hoping this thing is moving so slowly and the conditions won't let up. >> i have seen those shrimp boats. i can't imagine why someone would want to ride it out. it's new meaning to the phrase water front property. glad you're all okay. we will take you back to the gulf coast in a moment. >>> it's a hot button issue on the campaign trail. the back and forth on health care. mitt romney promising to rep

>> well, we have been here since late monday, and yeah, this is the home of dean blanchard, a well knownn grand isle, louisiana, and took us into his house, and we rode out the storm here, and we have -- the center of the storm came through here in grand isle. many of the vast majority of the people did evacuate, and there are only some between 30 and 40 people who stayed behind, but now the surveying of the damage begins and a lot of it has to do with the storm surge and the water, and not so much from the wind, that has caused the problems here, but we are hearing reports that the main road that brings you into grand isle, louisiana, parts of it has been washed out, so that could hamper the ability of people to get back or to get off of the island like we will be trying to do here shortly. we haven't had a chance to survey that for ourselves, and as soon as we are done here, we will try to get out, and the water levels around the house that we are at have been dropping significantly, and they got up to five or six feet as you look around and we have five to six feet all of the way arou

dean blanchard lived through hurricanes katrina, rita and gustav inside his immovable home in grand isleane isaac could compare. he was wrong. >> all, but some 30 of grand isle's residents evacuated the island, but perhaps no one experienced this storm quite like this group. shrimpers who tied their boats down and held on tight for almost 40 hours. one of those shrimpers was name pham. >> what was it like? >> what was it like? that experience, i would never do this again. >> why did you do it in the first place? >> i had no choice. i was stuck here. >> fam lives in texas and she couldn't get her boat out of the storm in time and didn't want to leave the ship behind. >> you didn't believe the tv when they said 80 mile an hour winds. >> and most of the houses on the island came out of the storm mostly unscathed, but blanchard's shrimp docks took a beating. >> this was all wood. you could walk all over, all that over there and on the other side, by the blue boat and all of that. >> all of this where the water is. huge deck? all of that's gone. holy -- >> and there's nothing you can do to st

behind me here is dean blanchard's home. he's the shrimp kg here in grand isle. has a huge shrimping operation he does. this is inside the home. we set up most of our gear. he tells us this home has been extremely well fortified over the years back since hurricane katrina and he's continued to upgrade it. he has no concern. in fact, the mayor and several other city officials here came by a little while ago and said, you know, this is one of the best places to be on this island. we feel well fortified. if you look over here, we're on the second floor of the home here, we're 15 feet up off the ground. what's interesting here back in 2008 when ali velshi rode out the storm here, hurricane gustav, this carport, this cover leading into the car garage, all of this was ripped off by the winds. hopefully we won't see that happen, but that is something we'll be keeping our eyes on. but outside of that, you know, we're relatively well protected here and this structure is extremely solid. in fact, several neighbors have come by and kind of jokingly said you're in the best p

dean blanchard's home here in grand isle, louisiana.cally. we have thibeen trying to get i touch with the mayor in grand isle, who is just a few nights away. they spent the night in a command post just a few blocks away. we haven't been able to get in touch with them. but now that the sunlight has broken here in grand isle, we can see that there is some damage to rooftops. nothing structurally damaged. you haven't seen houses collapse. remember most all the homes around here are built on stilts so that the storm surge and the water can pass below these homes and cause the least amount of damage possible. so that is very typical. but we haven't seen a lot of structural damage or any of the homes collapse. the winds have been rather intense. but, you know, the storm surge here is what we are most concerned about. and as i said, anywhere you look around here, the water levels have just gone up dramatically. and it's really made any kind of driving or moving around on this island virtually impossible at this point. ed lavendara, cnn, grand

everywhere you look around us here we're in the basically in the middle of the island in the home of dean blanchard as we've been reporting the last couple days. everywhere you look here, look, wolf, this is actually much better than what it looked like earlier this afternoon. we've had some earlier today there were about probably like three to four maybe five feet of water surrounding us. and the storm surge and the power that the water was rushing by us with was incredibly impressive. but it is now starting to go down. the house we're in, we're on the second floor, wolf, about 15 feet off the ground. so we've got plenty of cushion and plenty of room. but the house that we're in did take about six inches of water into the bottom floor. so that was a rather disconcerting as we woke up this morning and we could hear the water sloshing around on the ground floor. but the water seems to be starting to recede. it's not raining as much, but the winds are just sustained and keep going. definitely not as strong as they were at the height of this storm. and the very eye of this storm came over us here in g

paula, the farm is a testament to what hard work and determination can do founding fathers nathan blanchard and wallace hardison first bought the land way back in 1893 and named the ranch limoneira, which means "lemon lands" in portuguese. >> and at the time, they wanted to bring about the first full-scale commercial operation citrus ranch in the u.s. and from there, we added, throughout the year over the last 115-16 years, 3 other families have come into the fold, and that's where we've grown today to be our 7,000 acres that we are in california. >> once called the home of the lemon, it actually took 15 years before those first farmers even turned a profit at the limoneira farm. but they persevered, and as they say, they've come a long way, baby. things have obviously changed a lot over the years, but one thing that hasn't changed is the desire to explore innovative programs. the farm invests a lot of time, research, and investment into improving len production through innovation. in 2008, they completed work on a solar panel project that stretches across nearly 5 acres and can help to pow
