But it is the end of August and we all know what that means in La. The GOM has to be watched.
Of course.

If this system makes it into the Gulf with a closed circulation, there will plenty of time for anyone in S. Louisiana to make their preparations for a possible landfall. And that is at least 3-5 days away before that can occur.

you'll also probably be fighting other people for limited supplies. nothing wrong with stacking up on water and gas. it's not like you wont use those items anyway. plywood is going a bit far right now but i haven't seen anyone suggest that.

Hope they kick the curb cleanup in overdrive then. If not, every road wont be driveable as it'll be covered in house debris

Certainly.

Any trained meteorologist knows the models are just tools to be used and not reliable enough to be relied upon upon for predicting storm strength and landfall this early.

This invest could explode in 2-3 days or be sheered apart or torn up by the rough terrain of Hispsnola and be a non event.

Except for coonasses like me that have two camps on opposite sides of the parish and all kinds of shite to look after boats/trailers parents home etc. Hell it takes damn near a week to get all that in order.
