Did you ignore Ida altogether? I’m not trying to say SELA’s pain was worse, but there were folks who went longer than that here and months without power

None taken but all way off the mark. I cried last year watching water pour into my 80 year old moms house as it stormed 4 days after Ida and I was trying to tarp her roof.
My point is your pain seems greater to you because it happened to you
ETA: but to your point, IFGAF about my house. It and everything in it is just stuff to me

Same thing happened in SELA last year for Ida. I was without power for 2 months and to add insult they ran out of transformers by the time they got to me at the end of the road.

I just said this exact same thing to a co-worker. It used to be your local weather guy saying "Yeah, we're keeping an eye on this low pressure system down here. It could form into a storm. We'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, sunny weather for the weekend, blah blah." Now that Joe Sixpack has access to the models, it's all feelings in the pit of your stomach for two weeks. I know it shouldn't be this way, and it probably wouldn't be for me if we hadn't gone through the shite we've gone through in the last two-three years.

Yes, the pain of watching water pour through the man-size holes in my roof, caused by wind alone, as I was trying to tarp and save as many irreplaceables for my young family was pretty real to me.

Looks like HWFI made a huge shift west from 12z to 06z, and AEMI made a large shift west from 18z to 12z, but everyone else is going further East.
Of course there is that one model that's like "screw it, going to Mexico"

I will take overloading of information than the cones we had in 2005.

The thing is most of what the models show is not what is going to happen that far out.
Right now all people along the GOM need to know us that it appears a building storm will be in the Western Caribbean headed into the GOM and that’s it.
Fir most there’s plenty of time to watch it. I’m sure some have extraordinary circumstances and need to know well in advance if they need to evacuate, but for most of us if we knew a major storm was headed for our house in 7 or 8 days there’s little you would do now anyway.

The past 2-3 years have been brutal for south Louisiana. I count myself extremely lucky to have not lost any life nor much property in that time, however I've helped many who weren't so lucky.
Our family in Laplace got hit hard as did many of your families as well.
However, I am always encouraged to see the good people down here pick up, rebuild, continue on, and help their neighbor do the same. I don't expect that will ever change.

Yea, but Vermilion Bay to Corpus Christi is a big spread 36 hours out.
Posted on 9/22/22 at 8:44 am to trussthetruzz
He's probably referring to how wide the cones were. That would be a massive cone just over a day out these days.

Guys we really shouldn't dive into "who's had it worse" in SWLA vs SELA with these storms. It's not healthy for anybody. There's obviously tons of pent up pain and hurt in both regions of the state.
Can we all agree that none of us want anything to do with even a small storm right now? How about none for the next 5 years?

I agree. Let's get back to weather discussion and memes, I don't like the whole "you don't understand what we've been through" argument.
