So I live in Youngsville just south of Lafayette. No trees around me, underground power lines, house didn't come close to flooding in the great flood of 2016. I've got generators and a couple AC window units. We're thinking of riding it out. Just incase I booked a hotel room in Metairie. If we decide, we'll jump on hwy 90 and head southeast. Should we stay or go? If we go, any problems seen with taking 90 the back way into NOLA?
I’m in Lafayette, I think you should absolutely be fine staying in Youngsville. Especially considering you didn’t flood in 2016. Also, considering going to Nola isn’t a terrible idea, but going down Hwy 90 could be a bad idea if you leave too late. Storm surge is expected to actually reach Hwy 90 in some places the further south you get.
Honestly though, Youngsville shouldn’t see anything worse than 70mph gusts. And since you have no trees to worry about, you’re safe.

I bet youngsville gets a couple 90mph gusts.

Certainly possible. Forgot to ask if he was in a brick home or trailer. If trailer, get out.
I’m in a brick home with a bunch of trees towering over my house directly in line from the direction of the wind coming out of the south and southeast. Could get interesting.

Brick home, built in 2016. I don't think we need to leave especially with two generators and ac units.
Good call on the storm surge getting near 90, I hadn't thought about that. Now I'd have to endure the clusterfrick that will be the basin bridge, the Mississippi River bridge in BTR and Baton Rouge traffic in general, that pretty much seals the deal and we'll just sit tight at home.

The weather channel just said all counties on the east side of the Sabine river will be subject to strong surge. Are they buffoons? They are in LA every year and know there are no counties.

I hate to even bring it up at a time like this, but the blue shed is really aquamarine.

If this storm continues to slow down, does that force it east?

Pretty much. Give or take a few miles, the projected point of landfall hasn't changed much at all over the last 12 hours.

They got it making landfall with 120mph winds. Shear should increase in about 24 hours but this looks like it will get stronger than 130. IMO
