I’m messing with you. I figure we’ll know a lot more in 24-48 hours. But definitely feel as though BR is gonna be in the thick of things.
More so than direction, I’m really hoping that it surprises us and weakens more than expected. I hope the strengthening gets thwarted a bit, formation gets scattered, and it never really fully strengthens when traveling over the gulf.

I mean, it’s all relative right? I’d imagine it was the most damaging storm in the BR area since Andrew. Neither storm wiped homes off slabs in Baton Rouge, but you don’t really expect that when you’re like 75 miles inland from the barrier islands..
Seems like the real danger is that there are a shitload of old trees above old houses in BR. That’s what scares me. Power outages are a nuisance. A tree falling on a house can kill someone.

IDK why people misremember Gustav so much, especially a pro met
With you on that. I was outside a lot during Gustav. Wasn’t terrible. Just had so many trees that had not been properly maintained in the area that it took out so many power lines and knocked down trees. The only recovery was cleaning up trees, patches roofs and waiting for power.

We lived in Central during Andrew. I think we only lost power for a few hours. It helped that my neighbor was a higher up at Entergy or whatever we had back then.
We were 8 days or so with Gustav. Lost my shed and couldn't leave my neighborhood for a day due to downed trees.

I know it’s early, but with the eye looking dead at BR.... makes me remember being around for Gustav in college no power for a week, phuck that noise.
Live in Lexington next door to UClub. Worst case scenario, Delta comes right up our poop shoot, it’ll be a week before we get electricity back on, right?
Should have listened to that commercial midget Gordie Rush and bought a generac home generator :-(

He's talking about the early 00Z runs that have already been posted, clustered around east of Lafayette.

I don't see it.
Nearly all models are somewhere between Grand Chenier and Morgan City as a CAT 2-4. Regardless, as a Lafayette resident I am going to feel this one.

Yep. The biggest threats to life in BR for hurricanes are:
flash floods near rivers and bayous
tornadoes
trees falling on houses
carbon monoxide poisoning from generators

If it is coming in the Baton Rouge direction, I'm just getting out. I've got a wife, kids, and about 10 trees that could kill us.

Brother, after what LC has been through, I understand anyone around here freaking out. I’m just done with it.

Thanks ,makes me feel better. Still fighting idea of running down to Slidell and pick them up. Appreciate the fact you responded.

The good news is that your dangerous tree count is probably about to reduce

Gustav was easily the worst hurricane I can recall in BR. Katrina and Rita were really nothing here from purely a weather standpoint. I don't recall Andrew being that bad either. Not a ton of rain at least.

What's the chance I can get on I-10 Sunday and head to San Antonio from BR?

Hopefully good. I’ll be making the reverse trip from San Antonio to New Orleans at the same time.

It’ll be long gone by Sunday. Only issue you may have is evacuees returning making traffic worse
Posted on 10/6/20 at 9:25 pm to RT1980
10 was open in Lake Charles Friday afternoon after Laura so I would think you could get to Texas Sunday.

Have we talked about the HMON and HWRF being nearly identical on the last run?
We haven't, but the angle of approach and landfall are pretty different for each of them. HWRF is more due north into far eastern Cameron while HMON is more NNE to NE across western Marsh Island.
Landfall intensity at 115mph + is not ideal
