The Oak Ally Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana is famous for its huge double row of oak trees that line the road up to the main house. It's been featured in the movie Interview with The Vampire and Beyonce’s Deja Vu music video.

The two rows of southern live oak trees were planted in the early 18th century, long before the plantation main house was built. The property was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture and landscaping.

The Oak Ally Foundation said that the plantation's main house didn't receive damage from the storm and that the oak trees are still solid in the ground:

The mansion is solid with no damage and the iconic alley of oaks, while they experienced a significant “pruning” during the storm, are stable and standing tall.
