right in the middle of the floor its coming up, went in attic and couldnt find anything. One of my downspouts blew away and I can see a hole forming against the slab where water is going under. Nothing I can do now. Floor already looks like shite.


If you've got granite/marble around your fireplace or any of your doorsteps with hardwood butted up against it/slotted underneath it - cut it away now before it warps and busts the stone.


ETA:

Also any tall standing lamps or whatnot - move 'em because they'll tip over and break.

Why would anyone near the coast stay behind? I hope for the best for those people in Braithwaite, but. . . why? Especially those with young children.

Also. Why would anyone on this board have minimized the danger of this storm? There's nothing cool or macho about staying behind to wait out a hurricane.

from NHC

THE LACK OF STRENGTHENING APPEARS TO TO BE DUE TO THE
LARGER-THAN-AVERAGE WIND RADII...WHICH HAVE YET TO CONTRACT
INWARD...ALONG WITH THE PERIODIC ENTRAINMENT OF DRY MID-LEVEL AIR
FROM THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE INTO THE INNER-CORE REGION. UNTIL THE
DRY AIR MIXES OUT...EROSION OF THE INNER-CORE CONVECTION WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE UNTIL ISAAC APPROACHES THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF COAST
IN ABOUT 24 HOURS. AT THAT TIME...INCREASED FRICTIONAL EFFECTS FROM
THE GULF COAST LAND MASS IS EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN INCREASE
IN CONVECTION IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT...WHICH COULD ENABLE THE
STRENGTHENING PROCESS. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS SIMILAR
TO THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY AND IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE INTENSITY
CONSENSUS MODEL IV15

What's the word on the levee south of New Orleans? Is it bad or is it the media hyping things up again?

Because people are morons. There were "official staying behind threads" and "official frick a generator threads" because I'm not a pussy. Just idiotic behavior.

I think putting this kind of stuff out there give folks some kind of hard on or something.

Of course the low lying non federal levee areas are going to get flooding along the coast. It was expected. It really is a very small area and not the whole southern part of the state as some would want you to believe.

I agree. I'm still in br. Probably would have left Nola if I was there, but I would have sprinted out of Plaqu.
