Probably, more so if we have a lot of rain over the basin. Either way, I’m not worried for another 2016 type of event but in any event, I have flood insurance now so I’m not worried.

This is current track is the one that many people have feared for decades.

Wish it was that easy.

Gotta finish prep to leave NOLA today. Don't panic y'all, our baby is due in about 3 weeks and I'm not looking to deal with no AC and a very pregnant wife for a long period of time.

It’s similar to the “Hurricane Pam” drill the National Gov did a year before Katrina.

My baby was born on Wednesday in NOLA. Not what I wanted to wake up to.

Regarding the doomsday scenario, if this thing were to explode into a low cat 4 And hold current track, wouldn’t most of the water concern be for north shore due to south winds in Lake Ponchartrain? Or is the Mississippi River getting pushed up and topping the NOLA levees the bigger concern

What are we looking at for potential intensity at landfall in Nola? Essential worker so have to stay no matter what but just curious.

Well I hope this doesn't come true. This puts the NE eye wall right over my house.

Indeed

The track is bad if it’s a cat one. Any increase from there will be greater degrees worse

Not seeing much intensification beyond mid cat one so that’s something

Damage that the eyewall of Laura did To southwest Louisiana is indescribable...I hope the people of Louisiana anywhere don’t have to go through another one of these.

Yea I live in Mandeville about 2 miles north of the toll booths so this track sucks.

My parents are in Covington and I’m concerned about their house which has already flooded once or twice since they re-did the levee system. The Tchefuncta River backs up into their backyard if the wind is blowing from the right direction.

if I had a newborn, and were in Nola, I'd be getting out. One thing to keep in mind is most utility crews are over in LC right now working so any outages may take that much longer to get services restored.

Yes it is. Let’s hope it doesn’t rapidly intensify.

Yeah, always the rivers up here (especially if its a slow mover), and the damn trees. In abita the small creeks flood over hwy 59 at several locations making it impassable during flood event. I just went and gassed up my car just in case I have to get my wife, kids, and guitar out of here.
