Yeah looks like we are heading to Covington tomorrow. I’m sure traffic will be a shite show. Yay!

Be careful and prayers!

Does SELA have some sort of climate advantage over the rest of SLA and SWLA, like its location relative to jet streams or streaming currents or elevation or something, that basically allows weather stuff to our east and west to pull or push hurricanes easier than it should be?
Not sure if I worded it right, but it can’t just be “luck” that SELA keeps getting spared and SWLA keeps getting fricked and the gulf coast got fricked.

They haven't been since records have been kept. Morgan City has more hurricane landfalls than anywhere else in the US I think...wouldn't say that's lucky for SELA. Maybe this year that's about it.

How long has it been since NO has been hit directly by a major?
Betsy?

The hurricanes don't want to go through the trouble of dealing with northshore HOAs so they just avoid it

With a 30 nautical mile wide eye (35 miles), the eye wall will be about 18 miles from the center.
Looking at the recon winds, the hurricane force winds are about another 25 miles beyond that.
This means that the most damaging winds are between about 20 miles and 45 miles from the center.
If the center were to track over Crowley for example, then Lafayette and New Iberia and surrounding areas would be in that eyewall and hurricane force winds.
Something to keep an eye on as Delta approaches tomorrow is if those hurricane force winds expand out a bit more and/or the track shifts one way or the other.

Stayed in Houma for Gustav. Stayed outside most of the day watching the wind blow shite around. Only had 100 mph gust (per our weather machine on the houseboat) while eating breakfast.

Fish if you need anything let me know. I'm not too far from you, and am more than happy to help out where I can.

Well that looks angry. Can we gift that shite to Mississippi or Texas>

It’s so odd with these storms. I can tell you first hand 35 miles can make all the difference in the world. I live in NW Calcasieu 6 miles from the state line. We caught the West eye wall. shite was mega fricked up. I work in Beaumont 35 miles away. Drove there 2 days after Laura hit and you couldn’t even tell there was a storm. Most people I work with didn’t even lose power.

What do you mean? I can’t keep track bc of the shite show this thread is. Didn’t know if Nola was going to be hit or not. So I was asking if it’s be better to ride it out there. I would assume it’d be different for each storm. For example Katrina, prob wouldn’t have wanted to ride it out in Nola.

Historically the answer would be a resounding "no"

I hate to admit it but I once watched mileLb and Gustav and it was traumatizing.
