I'm driving from Shreveport to Florida tomorrow. Probably be through BR around 11 am. I'm wondering if that route is a good idea now. Thoughts on traffic, possibilities of contra-flow evacuations? Better to leave east out of Shreveport?

I'd say minimum 3 at the coast

according to folks in the reddit tropicalstorms thread, the recon flights are showing it is stronger than expected at this point, and has slowed down
that's no bueno
It's seemed like projections have been had it moving unusually quickly through the gulf and still getting to 3 so slowing down is what I've worried about.

Same here and the high was supposed to erode over time so that could allow it to nudge East the longer it takes to get here. I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t nudge over to grand isle before it’s over

I bet the freeze weakened a lot of trees though. Guess we will find out soon
13 years is also a lot of time for cheap homeowners and landlords to avoid pruning.

Damn, this took a turn for the worse since I last saw it yesterday morning. 
Godspeed my friends.

Just moved to mandeville right off of I-12 a couple months ago. What’s it like over here for a storm

Typically it is cloudy, then it gets sunny.

Stranded how? You lost me here. If your house is strong enough to withstand a CAT3 storm, I assume you have a vehicle reliable enough to take on the the interstate
The problem is not the vehicle, it's the getting stranded part. Things can go south quickly. Obviously none of our cities are the size of Houston, but this is what people worry about. Don't get on the road without adequate water/food and meds.

In the Houston area, the muddled flight from the city killed almost as many people as Rita did. an estimated 2.5 million people hit the road ahead of the storm’s arrival, creating some of the most insane gridlock in U.S. history. More than 100 evacuees died in the exodus. Drivers waited in traffic for 20-plus hours, and heat stroke impaired or killed dozens. Fights broke out on the highway. A bus carrying nursing home evacuees caught fire, and 24 died.

Pretty sure Delta had 45-50 sustained with 60+ gusts in BR but I agree plenty trees can come down

Believe what you want, but as Duke mentioned the HWRF is a good model for intensity projections, and it has a strong Cat 4 making landfall even though it initializes 5-6 mb weaker than reality when the run starts

At least the track has slowed down some. Want to go to the Saints game Saturday night before the city is washed away.

I don't BR has had anything close since though.
And with all this rain the ground around here is pretty wet.
A ten year gap is nothing like the 100 year gap previously.
