Please don't remind me.

I was without power for a month and internet service for nearly 2 months. I had to depend on cellular data. Tree fell on the house, stayed nearly 5 months with a tarp on the roof. I had a pile of trees taller than my house till mid October. I still have a few pieces of vinyl siding still missing.

That is on me.

Too lazy to find the right color to match or rip it all out and go new.

Yep Bertha is being butchered but putting up a fight!

Wild looking system! Glad this is not mid-late August; may be a different story....

Fwiw we couldnt find the right color for the front so we painted the whole thing till insurance decided to pay us. Ripped it all out and went with hardy board

Oh man, 13' waves in the middle of the ocean


I’m currently 10’ from the water in Perdido so 13’ would be concerning to me.

Currently waves at shoreline are only 3-4’

meanwhile twitter doomcasters are finding any model that can get a hurricane up the houston ship channel

Just like with every spaghetti model for a storm in the gulf there is always one, no matter what, that sends it straight up the mouth of the mississippi river.

Yea, when I tell people the eye passed over me in the northern suburbs of St. Amant/Port Vincent area, they look at me like I'm retarded. I distinctly remember watching the radar and telling my wife that the eye was about to clip our area on a wobble. We went outside in the garage to watch and sure enough the wind was gusting ferociously then suddenly was only gusting to maybe 30mph for about 15 minutes before it kicked back up from the opposite direction to probably 60-70 mph for the rest of the night until I fell asleep. It was the only time I've ever experienced the eye of a hurricane.




I was on the “ride out” crew at work, so I wasn’t home for any of the fun. I sent my family away since I couldn’t be with them. As I watched the path I knew it wouldn’t be good. My wife had a friend that went down my road after the storm passed and took pictures of what should have been my mom’s house. You could only see trees. I’m so thankful I told my mom she needed to leave.

I hope we get a nice breeze and some rain in Mandeville.... cut this heat down. Let the meat of this one stay offshore. We still have a ways to go this season.

I live in same location and can confirm that he is right.

I've been in the eye of a big one before. I recognized it right away.
