I'm in North Covington almost to Folsom. I haven't decided what I am doing. I want quickest access to the camp in Bay St Louis once this passes.

FIFY

To my downvoter: I live/work in BR (and was here for Gustav as well) and take no pleasure in this fact.

I live in a newer neighborhood in south BR that has very few large trees and underground powerlines....not in a flood zone. Any reason to consider evacuation? Other than potential for no power?

Flash flooding will be an issue for this one as well. 12 hours to get from Houma to BR will dump a ton of rain on a massive area.

Did I read this correctly that it could be a cat 2 or 3 over baton rouge?

no, current projection by the NHC shows 70 mph max. sustained winds for its closest pass near BR. I'm sure gusts will be higher, but not cat 2/3 levels. I do however think that this could be very comparable to what Gustav did and could very well be worse.

If you're in BR and aren't under any trees, the only reason to leave is to avoid extended power outages.
