How do we know how much it's weakening? Haven't heard it mentioned for a bit.

I know it weakened to a cat 1 but no other specifics.

Winds gusting the hardest of day right now in Uclub

Middle of the lake looks like 45 mph or so sustained right now. Moving into Mandeville soon

How are my Thibodaux peeps doing? It’s pretty rough. My home generator didn’t kick on. Waiting for winds to lay down before I go look at it.

Some pretty decent rain in Mandeville now

Not in Fairhill/Springlake. Been w/o power since 4:30.

My friend in Houma said they lost power at 4. Wooden playhouse in the backyard rehomed itself to neighbor’s yard. She said her walls are creaking.

Much appreciated. The wife is wound up pretty tight. I wanted to go ride it out at the camp but stayed in uptown St Amant. Saw Duffy’s lost the roof over their gas pumps.

There will be damage in the area for sure but it won’t be anything like Andrew obviously
