Hopefully the shift continues
Could easily shift back the other way next update. In my uneducated opinion, it seems to be a lot of uncertainty with intensity and even the track at this point.

My folks live in the back of Quail Ridge near The Settlement. Their property is partially swamp about a quarter mile from the Old Pearl River (I seem to recall it was called something different when I was younger). Their house is on a high spot (mound?) and sits at 14' ASL. The surge from Katrina came from both across from the Rigolets in front and then up the Pearl River system from the back. They got about a foot to 18" of water that rolled through and settled at 4-6" for at least a few hours based on the water marks in the living room.
Many houses in the middle part of Quail Ridge got little to no water. Problem was the wind. There were at least 3 tornadoes (or "micro-vortices") that tore through the heavily wooded area... as in they could see their paths via satellite photos afterward.

That’s what was crazy about that area with Katrina, out little piece of shite camp had no damage what so ever. Matter of fact, we had a decoy that was still sitting on the porch rail when we finally got to it.. They had trees around it that were completely twisted and splintered, which I'm sure were caused by micro vortices. They estimated there were 70,000 trees down in the swamp after...

Here's the latest overview map for #Sally using data from the 5 PM EDT NHC advisory. Key messages remain the same: -Major surge threat for SE #LAwx & S #MSwx. -Extremely heavy rainfall of 1-2 feet from far SE LA to #ALwx and far W #FLwx. -Hurricane-force winds for parts of SE LA

I would appreciate another shift east. My apologies to those east of me.

I get it. Maybe somebody can jump in here, but I think there is more potential for further adjustments west than east. I heard that on the news earlier.

Will a cat 1 really knock out power that easily in NOLA?

Do you understand what kind of winds a cat 1 possesses?
Posted on 9/13/20 at 4:27 pm to TDsngumbo
Yes I have been through just about every level of storm the same as most people in the South. If that is all it takes to knock out power for a city the size of NOLA then thats pretty crazy.

Are you serious?
Will knock out power anywhere.
Doesn't even need to be hurricane winds. Prolonged tropical force winds will do it. Nothing unique about New Orleans in that respect.

Yeah, it's New Orleans and prolonged TS conditions will knock out power most places.
Baton Rouge only got Cat 1 conditions for Gustav, and how long was power out for most places?

Just curious, where are you?

Well I guess Terrebonne-Lafourche is fricked because Martin Folse has a split-screen with a satellite feed of the storm and a fishing show and he has THE STICK out and overlaid the satellite feed. LOL
Those in the Houma Thibodaux area know all about Martin Folse and his Stick!

Just got the robocall saying that all Livingston Parish public schools are closed tomorrow (September 14).

We have old power poles and old trees all up in the lines in around the Nola area. It doesn’t take much to cause power to go out

She already looks better than Issac did in 2012.
Nope, I just looked it up. I’m dumb and I guess I was thinking of a different one from the past because Isaac looked much better.

Love the way they are, but don't wish this on anyone.
Posted on 9/13/20 at 4:42 pm to stout
Probably won't take out all of the power in the city, but it shouldn't be a surprise to lose power.
