Live oaks are actually made to hold up to hurricanes better than just about any other tree.
After Rita, the only things standing in Cameron Parish were the courthouse, water tower, and the live oak trees, FACT !

It is there, but it looks to be walling it off pretty well now.

It’s water oaks I think that are awful in these storms.

I get amazed at maturing system where you see the lower level clouds racing to the center while the upper levels are fanning out in a anticyclonic motion. You can really see it in the Visible satellite now.

Same thing in Lafayette this past May. Water oaks dropped all over the parish on May 13 and 16.

The animals probably started reacting to it first, and most people had some kind of animals - chickens, pigs, horses, cows, etc. I guess that's all they had until the skies changed.
This^.
Once when I was younger (before cell phones) my brothers and I were coming back atop the levee road from camping in Sorrel to Ramah.
Couple of miles into the 12 mile trek, we came up on a shite load of cows trotting toward us and would not get out the way.
We were saying, WTF?! once we made it through and roughly 20 minutes later, all hell broke loose. Super cell I guess After it was all clear we continued on and right as we neared Ramah, two of our uncles were on their way to check on us.
we were all shook up.

The best trees in a hurricane are palm trees (particularly Sabal Palms), Crepe Myrtles and Live Oaks.
Pines, bradford pears, arborvitae and water oaks are the worst and should never be within range of your home.

No doubt. Chainsaws, tow straps and an ice chest of water/gatoraide standard equipment in the truck after big storms. Cut your way out or in, whatever it takes

A lot of the entities I deal with in NEFL are taking this very seriously even here. Massive storm with wide impacts. One org in particularly normally waits for official warnings or watches to come out before doing certain tasks, the speed of this storm meant they started all that yesterday. We don't exactly have a trigger happy bunch around here either when it comes to prep.
I fear that the impacts will be huge. Billions of dollars, which means a lot of human impacts and thats what really matters. Stay safe everyone.

It's almost a sad and safe bet that at this point, if all holds true, Helene is going to be a retired name.

Not sure about Houma's geography, but Tallahassee is filled with old oak trees that line nearly every neighborhood road and old wooden cracker box houses, it is absolutely ripe for a disaster zone with hurricane force winds
With wind speeds of 90+, the uprooting of live oaks would be an issue, but also the snapping of the many large pine trees in town.

Yeah you can see where this hurricane is getting ready to explode.

Once far inland .....Check out how Helene is forecast to Hook up with Mid Continental Upper Low near Nashville ....whipping around to the NW...Wild stuff!

Which is why the question about Nashville impacts, from a few days ago, was a completely valid and relevant question.

I will never forget when we got back to Metairie after Katrina (2 weeks) and a deputy Sherriff stopped and said "if you don't have a gun get one". I had one and I kept it close by.
