There's still gonna be a ton of home repair needed with this extreme wind but that's easier to deal with than a flood. At least you might be able to live in your home while it's repaired.
we don't have flood insurance on that house so it's a big deal

Looking at katc radar it looks like the bad rain is done for now at least?? Wind still kicking a good bit.

I’d pay good money to be in a cement building 25ft in the air on cement pilings in Cameron right now.
But since that’s not possible, I couldn’t imagine being there in any other situation. Even though the courthouse survived Audrey, Rita, and Ike you couldn’t pay me to pass this storm there.
Well you could have driven down and road it out on top of the courthouse.
Trust me, my grandfather and pregnant grandmother did that for Audrey, and listening to his stories, you fricking do not want to do that.

Entergy should be proud of how well their system in lake charles has held up this long

I'm just repeating that crazy Brett Adair who said on the feed he has a bud at the NWS who just sent him that

I thought they might go to 155 but the recon data just isn't quite there.

Nice catch. Would only be the western eyewall if the storm was headed south.

like i said earlier IF that storm chaser got stuck
you got a storm surge coming and literally nothing but marsh, aligators, and snakes around you for 3-4 days in 95 degree heat

Youre in a slot now, think of it as time to gather your thoughts.

Calcasieu Pass instrument still highest of 73 sustained and 96 gust that it has reported.

Looking at that picture, I 100% think you will be fine flood wise. Especially now that it seems worst surge will go just to the east of us.
My aunt's house in Cameron that survived Rita and Ike.....year if it hits a true 15' in Cameron...it gone. Won't be anything but maybe pilings left.

That just got real, and they're only in 50 mph, 74 mph gusts.

It's early. Those winds are leaning.. leaning.. leaning on the trees and power pole like offensive linemen in the 1st half. It's about the duration. Those winds are going to start crushing those trees like LSU's 2011 offensive line in the 2nd half.

Looks like Lafayette is about to get some shite soon. Obviously nothing compare to the west, but some nasty stuff in its own right.
