Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Thu Aug 27 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Laura, located inland over northwestern Louisiana.

1. A westward-moving tropical wave located over the far eastern
tropical Atlantic near the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce
disorganized shower activity. Although environmental conditions are
not expected to be conducive for development during the next couple
of days, they are forecast to gradually become more favorable over
the weekend and into early next week when the wave moves into the
central and then western tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

2. Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased today in association
with a tropical wave over the central tropical Atlantic. Gradual
development of this system is possible over the next several days as
it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

The city of Alexandria has its own power plant and supplies its residents with electricity. Word I am hearing is that some major transformer was damaged, power is out for the whole city (everything) for “awhile” which will also effect water service over time. Can anyone confirm if this is legit or just a local rumor?

The weather channel even said it didn’t reach the predicted height because of the angle it came in. They didn’t have the expected southern wind coming up big lake.

Reports are coming in of a 15 foot storm surge in Grand Chenier.

Take a picture and/or video just like you found it and document the time of that. Then you should be able to clean up loose items and protect the property as best you can until adjuster comes.

Fox 8 earlier said "we may not know yet what the greatest storm surge was b/c landfall took the worst surge to an area where there are no gauges

so we won't know what the worst surge was until people start returning to that area... which I believe is around Grand Chenier

Do you have before pictures and videos? If so, take some after pics and videos, document everything, even take pics and videos of the pile of debris at the road.

That should be enough for you to start your clean up and rebuild process.....cant express it enough...DOCUMENT EVERYTHING
