So Nola will be going into this real right butt hole but we should can’t our blessings. We have been spared with these storms the last several years.

I'm more worried these intensity levels are off which makes it concerning on the surge impacts. The intensity levels for the computer models is pretty unreliable but they've been especially bad this season. Right up 2020's alley for how the year has gone tbh.

Between Camille and Katrina we weren't really hit with anything major either, just a few little BS storms...

What was that? 36 years?

After Katrina we had to deal with Gustav and Isaac...

Should I be able to fly out of MSY Monday at 5 PM or should I start looking at alternative options?

EDIT: Not kidding, family wedding next weekend and I've got 6 of us on a WN 5 PM flight this Monday.

Not surprising. Hopefully the fight to have one dominate will take some time.

Little Isaac was a bad one. Still never forget how much water I saw in that storm. Never saw it close to that bad before until the 2016 flood happened.

Gustav knocks us out of power for a few weeks at least. Was actually almost as bad as Katrina but Gustav wrecked my neighborhood with tornadoes too so that didn't help. Definitely more damage from Gustav than Katrina.

ETA: From 48 hours (Monday morning) to 96 hours (Wednesday morning) the Euro has Sally moving from south of Gulf Shores to only just north of Lake P.

That is less than 200 miles in 48 hours or about 4 mph average speed. That's a fast walk or slow jog speed.


This would be a devastating event if this were to occur. We can't have this storm stall out like this because the damage will be insane in Louisiana due to the storm surge alone. The Great Wall of Chalmette will be tested for the first time.

Remember Gustav and Katrina we're very different experiences in Baton Rouge vs New Orleans.

Dude, Gustav was after Katrina... Reading comprehension my man...

When I said between Camille and Katrina, I meant the years between them... I even said “what was that, 36 years..."

I know Gustav wrecked some shite... Didn’t it even bust up a power grid..?
