I’ve heard many complaints about Mandeville and Covington since the levees got redid. Parts of Slidell are the same.

This thing could really open some eyes for people living near the water On the north shore of lake pontchatrain

When I look at the spaghetti models page I see two ses of predictions. The first is "global + hurricane models" and the second is "GFS Ensembles." They seem to have significantly different tracks. Which should be given preference? I know models vary but does that significantly more western track of the GFS lead to an updated forecast of continued movement west?

Delivering a load of lumber from Montgomery to Lake Charles in the morning. Besides Google what is a good site to keep up with problems on I-10? Do they do all lane evacuation routes in Louisiana?

They do contraflow in LA, but I don’t see them doing it for this kind of storm.


Maybe I’m downplaying it though.

They Likely won’t. NOLA won’t call for mandatory evacuations for Cat 1 but you never know we are in PHASE 2 with da mayor.

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

Rapatel area here. Just moved here a couple months ago. Neighbors say water isn’t much of an issue here, but the power will easily go out. About to get to Lowe’s early and try and grab a generator and a few last minute supplies

The water has to go somewhere, all they did was divert it to places that had never flood before. My parents entire backyard filled up with the last storm and there wasn’t really a drop of rain and the thing hit Lake Charles. It still probably needed to rise 3-4’ to actually get in their house but this one might do it.

FYI to Prairieville, the Neighborhood Walmart at 42 and 44 has working gas pumps now. No attendant in the office, but pumps are on. Just got some.

We're at the point where if you don't know what an ensemble product does, don't use it.

It's used by forecasters but the globals and hurricane models will have more weight in the forecast this close to landfall.

HWRF is a bit SW of previous run so far but also much weaker

Covington Lowe’s is a ghost town. Saw online there’s plenty of generators available for anyone looking in the area

Edit: thought with that alert they’d have people waiting outside for open

Recon back in the storm and showing that the system is still struggling, it looks like the LLC is exposed on the western side of convection. Models continue to show a setup that would allow for strengthening right up to landfall. How much it can strengthen depends on if it can build an inner core today. NHC remains on the aggressive side with a forecast of 100 mph max.
