doesnt help lol.
guess i need to hit up sams tonight just incase. need to gas up too.
so long as its nto a stupid strong storm and I get cert of occupancy Im not too worried as I have a whole home generator for the house im currently in.
But like SFP said...LC currently sucks donkey dick compared to before Laura. Its getting better each day but overall still sucks arse.
question becomes.....do you even want to live here if another storm hits.
unfortunately im in a position now that I cant really leave due to work and my wifes work, so I am stuck. I dont want to be in LC if another one hits that is for sure.

Ummm... shite
Our work forecasters who haven't missed on a storm in 4 years just sent their first alert. I can't share screenshots due to proprietary rules, but they have it hitting as a cat 4 just west of the TX/LA border.
I really hope they are way off on this one.

Are they looking at it hitting this weekend?

Sunday/Monday

Frankly, idk. I'd expect to see one once there's a pretty clear COC somewhere in the bundle of storms, or when it is labeled a depression. But I am far from any kind of expert.

Meteorologist Nick Mikulas
I’ll do a full update this evening, after another round of model data, but the overnight stuff, and general trend of the ensembles gives us something to be concerned about with Invest 99L. There is still a wide range of track possibilities, with Brownsville TX to New Orleans the most likely landing zone for this system. There are several reasons this storm is of particular concern to me.
1. Time of year. We are nearing the peak of tropical season, which means the general background conditions are ripe for development.
2. Low shear and plenty of available moisture means this could become a strong system.
3. Very warm water in the Gulf of Mexico will add fuel to the fire.
4. It’s not very far off. Yes, we don’t have an official storm yet. But we probably will by the weekend. An eventual landfall of this storm would be roughly 6 days out, so we are within a window of time where we can get a general idea of the threat zone for this storm.
5. Models indicate a weakening of steering currents near, or just after landfall. That would mean a slow moving system if that comes to pass. Slow moving, means more rain.
So that’s a general overview of why this is a higher level of concern than any other storm we’ve had this year. Given the fact that we are near the peak of hurricane season, it’s a good bet to be as ready as you can be, just in case. Things will move fast once this develops. NHC gives it an 80% chance of development, so there is at least a glimmer of hope that land interaction keeps things fairly quiet. For now, I’ll say that I feel the odds are in favor of a landfalling tropical system somewhere along the Texas or Louisiana coast around next Tuesday. Of course, if it comes into south Texas, we have little to no impact. If it comes in between Houston, and Morgan City, we have problems. It’s not time to panic. I mean, it’s never really time to panic. But it is time to start planning ahead, just as a precaution. Fill the prescriptions, start the generator, freeze a few gallon jugs of water, inventory the cans of chili and spam. Don’t hoard the toilet paper just yet. I’ll update this evening.

A weather forecasting service is only until good it’s last wrong forecast.
Then it folds and the meteorologists flee to start a new service to start a new track record.
