re: El Nino's effect on Hurricane Season

I'll always remember Lili because when it was way offshore as a Cat1, we gathered up at the in-laws outside of Lafayette and started the old hurricane party. Just hours later (and a ton of drinks), it strengthened to a 5, and we were asked by the fire department to evacuate because of worries the Vermilion River would swamp us. It was quite an eventful drive from Laffy to other relatives, blitzed and having to stop and piss about every 10 minutes.
