Dad in Cancun texted and said “not as bad as it looks”.
Has it even been officially upgraded to a hurricane yet? I believe it is still a tropical storm, so, no, it isn't all that bad yet.

I don’t disagree but 3 models are showing anywhere from a hurricane to TS in the GOM next week. Helene had the same model agreement 10 days out so it’s not just “fantasy land” when 3-4 models are showing similar activity. The only storm I can recall hitting Louisiana in early October Hurricane Lilly in 2001 and Zeta in 2020, although the 2020 season was an exception to the norm.

And looking again, the first indications of the storm are only like 8-9 days out which really isn't that far.
So there's a decent chance of some kind of wave

When they say wind field is xx miles .. they mean total across not out to each side from center, correct?
The NHC forecasts the wind field in each quadrant as nautical miles from the center of the storm.

Nate in 2017 landed in Plaquemines parish on October 8. I just looked it up because I remembered it but just couldn't remember the name.
It was a small,fast-moving, Cat 1 storm.

I'm in the same boat in Cobb County. Completely surrounded by huge trees
One of the joys of living in older parts of Atlanta/Sandy Springs/etc. is spending 10-20k a year on tree work
I'm sure it's the same across the river in Cobb.

Its crazy that Zeta was actually a pretty powerful storm but it was small-ish and moved EXTREMELY fast and was so late in the season that no one panicked and it just wasn't that big a deal

so many trees

Delta hit six weeks after Laura on October 4th.

We bought this house the morning Zeta came through. We had sold ours the day before which is probably the best sort of limbo to be in considering.
Wrecked both neighborhoods but no trees on either house thankfully. Obviously that wasn't a terribly strong TS when it came through here, I think gusts topped in low 50s in Atlanta. Not looking forward to Friday morning.

To be fair, with that 2020 season everyone was just beat into submission. Zeta just registered as some wind.

Also, the weather being immaculate afterwards made the lack of power more bearable.

Juan was upgraded to a hurricane after landfall if I recall. Bitch sat on us for a long time and flooded many areas south of Houma. I was a kid growing up in Bourg at the time. Put water almost to our house. This was mid 80’s I remember playing In the flood waters like a little chaw chawt

Inland, trees are the biggest issue imo. I don't think they will be snapping in Atlanta, but they might get uprooted.. so if trees are on one side of the house, stay on the other side of the house..
A modern house built to S FL storm code can handle anything up to a direct hit from a major hurricane as long as you don’t have debris sitting around outside, storm surge or large trees.
Anyone coastal with non-palm trees, pines in particular, that are tall enough to land on your house is adding significant risk to your property.
Pines snap in the wind and uproot when the root ball gets wet. Once you’ve seen one cut through a house like a sharp knife you see them as the hazard they truly are.
