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.




Somehow this explanation makes it seem worse.

You have two homes but can't figure out if New Orleans of Lafayette is more at risk for this particular storm. Nice.

Let me rephrase. I didn’t know if it was worth riding it out in Nola over Lafayette. If Nola was still gunna get bad rain and winds might as well ride it in Lafayette and not leave. Obvis if Nola barley getting shite I’d go there. But I didn’t know their status

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.




Some of my favorite posts happen in these threads.

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?


Well it’s mostly just variance in a sample size of 2020, but a nonzero amount probably has to do with the fact that hurricanes travel east to west before interacting with a typical jet stream as you said. SWLA is closer to the warm air ridge (curve) that forms the jet stream, so when it hops on the stream for a ride it’s more likely to hit on the western portion of the gulf (Morgan City is the epicenter) on average.

, since I think you're being serious, I'll be serious too - don't stay in Lafayette if you can drive to your own house in New Orleans.

I can't tell if y'all are just trolling me or being serious.

Probably on the lesser end of both of those, at the moment.

So in another words, my question was not dumb, it actually had some merit....thanks for the very informative answer
