re: Isaac Downgraded to Tropical Depression

Eye has been projected to pass over us. We should be alright though.

Good luck to you too man.

I know there's a sexual joke here somewhere, but it evades me...

entergy is showing that lakeview by robert E. Lee is out of power

They have been fixing the outages, but I don't think they are anymore with this wing

Isaac is going to pack a punch. The pressure is real low. I think they may be underestimating the winds. It should be a pretty "fun" 24 hours.

shits getting real here in belle chasse.. I know boothville is getting hammered right now so we're bracing ourselves... for some reason we still have power but we don't know for how long..

everyone stay safe, be careful

That big band of orange/yellow didn't look like anything out of the norm on that TWC live shot on Canal.

TWC said there is a report of 968...crazy

I'll try to take as many pics as possible through the eye and everything. Not too much stuff around me that can cause too much damage though. Most of the trees that were here are gone.
