Just curious, where are you?



he is in Lake Charles. I think he knows wtf a hurricane is capable of.

And he knows a cat 1 would cause power to go out, i believe he was meaning for an extended period as in the storm taking out the main transmission lines.

Where were you in a Cat 1 direct hit where you didn’t experience significant power outages?

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


Tropical Storm Olga in Oct 2019 wrecked shite in N. MS and Tennessee last fall. Major power outages across the region and a cell tower blown down.

Laura was down to 80 mph when it went over us. It took out the power grid for 9 days.

GFS really intensifies this moving north. A once again further east.

The material shortage is what worries me. Probably have used a lot of their stock over the past couple of weeks.

I’ve seen some inventories for transformers over the last couple of weeks. Let’s just say....it’s gonna take a while.

Lines up with the post 12z thinking that a stronger storm would turn sooner resulting in a more eastward track.

Issac was a shitshow. It really highlighted Entergy's weak infrastructure and preparedness.

I haven’t paid much attention, but is I-10 open through LC all the way into Houston? We booked a room out there in case we need to leave (Parish has already issued a mandatory evacuation order).

It's slower and thus farther east. Additional strength might have something to do with that too, as it would probably feel the north push a little stronger the deeper it is.
