I am not worried about the flooding, or winds, or tornados, but worried that my damn electricity is going to get knocked out and I won't be able to watch the game.

Generator. For the WIN.
Had to use mine during the WV game last year. power went out right as the game went to halftime. Ran downstairs, moved the genny outside, cranked her up, flipped the transfer switch, and watched the 2nd half powered by diesel fuel.
That's the only time I've had to use it and boy was I glad to have it. If there is any TV I WILL NOT MISS, it's LSU games.
There are no social engagements I will attend on Saturdays in the fall. I don't give a f((k.
Mrs WNCTiger understands and knows better than to ask or to plan some BS that would make me miss a game.
LSU comes on ~12 times per year and I ain't missing the only thing on TV worth watching come hell or high water -- I'm prepared.

I don't think we will have to worry about it in the Alexandria area. We will get a little rain and wind, but nothing too devastating. If power goes out, there is always radio.

Things like this are exactly why I would never switch to the dish.
That's the other thing I have dish and yes I might lose it for a while, but during the last hurricane we lost comcast and power. The power came on a day later and comcast was out for another 3 weeks. Everybody that had Dish was set to go after a day. So frick comcast and cable. I'll put up with my losing signal once a year for a little while.

I have my deep cell battery and analog antenna set on stand by with a radio tuned to 98.1 FM. I'm not missing it. If cable goes out I have the analog signal from ABC, if power goes out I have the battery that will last about 7 hours on my TV. Go to Academy and walmart, you'll be all set up!

Link for analog tower maps
Put in your location and select the nearest ABC tower and point your antenna that way. Just in case cable goes out, you can watch the game with and analog set up.

Anyone heard anything new? I just heard the weather guy mention power outage threat more so in New Orleans and possibly Baton Rouge because of winds..

No worry to me at all.

When you get a chance you should reinstall it in your attic if you have the room. Won't be a problem then.

Just have a backup place or plan if you lose power.
One of you neighbors has to have a generator if you don't. Might want to give them a heads up about your contingency plan.

We have 2 15000 kw generators and a 55 gallon drum of fuel on standby. Also have my HD rabbit ears ready if needed. Bring it! GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Thinking IF we get out tomorrow morning (Delta is challenged flying successfully even under perfect conditions) then the likelihood of flying back on Monday is slim...
