thanks.

Hopefully this will push through sooner rather than later for all affected.

It hasn't done much strengthening since getting back over the gulf, but I have little faith in these models and forecasts anymore. They are constantly changing, and they had it as nothing more than a TS at landfall 48 hours before, and it ended up being a Category 4 hurricane the first go around.


Some west side dry air seems to be helping us out

New Orleans getting a heavy band?
Harvey looks split between NO and Houston. Crazy.

HWY6 at I10 is going to be such a clusterfrick for months... It was shut down for like 6 weeks last year, I can imagine it will be close for at least that this time.

Every new report shows this thing impacting us more and more. The last video I just watched on weather channel ( harvey's impact to new orleans I believe) talks about the timing-- It shows a screen that flashes 15-20 over BR/Nola and then it switches to "inches"-- 6-7. Another video about NOLA and rain the weather person goes on to admit it's hard to determine rain amounts ahead of time-- and admits that August 2016 only forecast 10-12 for BR. I am afraid that with this sitting in gulf for nearly 48+ hours that it will possibly intensify and if nothing else soak the frick
out of our state. Something none of us need. Our drainage systems do not work.

Long long time ago we used to live on Dapplewood. Keep us posted how you are making out.

Where?

I know there are still waters out, but where the hell is it bad enough that they flipped the boat and can't get to a safe place?

Def a rain event for La, but looks like it will be into Arkansas by Thursday, which is good.

Not true at all, but I'm sure it feels that way.

The prognosis for LA hasn't changed much for the last 48-72 hours. The HRRR, which has done a spectacular job with the runs last night, is showing the following set up over the next 18 hours:



Peak rains of 8" over the lake, but generally 3-6" over the next 18 hours for New Orleans. Much lower totals across the rest of the state.

Are the Weather Channel people just retarted? The app says NOLA has at least 50% of rain through next Tuesday.

Won't be due to this storm, but could be other weather patterns... They just said the low that is up over the great lakes is going to pull this thing NE. Like I said a second ago, they had it into Arkansas on Thursday.

Running boats at night in residential areas will leave you prone to accidents that wouldn't normally happen.

But where is it so high that they are in trees? Are they along buffalo or somewhere where there is flowing water?

Sounds like they got stuck in the reservoir.

ETA: The reservoir is 12 feet over Highway 6, for instance.
