that wasn't my point. if shreveport is in danger of losing power, then it's a bad option for me. might as well be in LC without power
That’s what I did for Rita. It sucked, especially back then when people hardly even texted. It’s crazy how fast the “fog of war” was lifted by smart phones.
No sense in driving Into the path

I’m having the conversation with my wife on if we should leave or not
South of Lafayette, north of HWY14, flood zone X (we aren’t even required to carry flood insurance)
I think we are more than fine. The stuff that we have to worry about is still something to worry about 100 miles north of us
If I’m west of 167 I’m prepping for perhaps a couple days or more without power.

Just have to nail down 100% where.
The only concern I would have with your track north would be that yoy are still in the path. If you head Austin or BR direction you are out of the path and can slip in behind the hurricane.
In Shreveport your 3 hour trip back is dependent on the weather clearing first.

i'm curious what a realistic power outage timeline would look like. i'm not in SLC and this area didn't lose power during Ike

We are going to wait until tonight to make the decision after a few more updates.

We're not really going to know where the hell this thing is going until it reaches the gulf... correct?

What time is the next update?

Did not see the shear ? Or relying on models completely. Marco was a bigger bust than Jamarcus Russel.
A few of the intensity models were bullish on Marco yesterday. The NHC is pretty slow to make massive changes to intensity forecasts, especially with a storm that is already a hurricane.
I get Most people just look at the cones and whatnot, but this was their discussion Saturday night:
quote:
Marco is a small tropical storm and will be susceptible to rapid changes in structure and intensity until it reaches the northern Gulf Coast. Such systems are often not very resilient in a high-shear environment, however even a brief relaxation of the shear could result in quick strengthening. It would not be surprising if Marco's intensity evolves in step-wise fashion consisting of periods of arrested development followed by fast strengthening if/when the shear relaxes. While the statistical models still show Marco becoming a hurricane within 24 h, the run-to-run consistency of the dynamical guidance remains poor. The latest HWRF, HMON and GFS forecasts show Marco weakening as it approaches the northern Gulf Coast, and this remains a distinct possibility if the shear remains consistently high. The NHC intensity forecast has not been changed substantially, in large part due to the low confidence of the forecast, and is consequently above all of the guidance at 36 and 48 h when Marco is forecast to be near the northern Gulf Coast. Additional adjustments to the forecast are likely on Sunday.
Pretty sure that is going to format like shite on desktop, but oh well.
