Thank you for all the information here. Nvda t2s doesn't always work well, but I get great information from here.

Martin just said 'we won't know what's going to happen between when we go to bed tonight and the radars go silent, to when we wake up'.

You doing repairs? We can’t find someone for ours. A year later and still need repairs.

90 mph sustained winds would be the worst BR has ever seen by a wide margin
90 mph sustained would definitely be the worst I've seen in Baton Rouge, but not sure about a "wide margin".
Gustav maxed out at 90+ mph for a few minutes at the Baton Rouge airport on the north side of the city. The sustained wind speed in the city was closer to 75 mph, which is no joke in an urban area. I do think the difference between 75mph and 90mph sustained is massive though.
Andrew in 1992 was fairly compact in size and passed to the city's west. They got lucky. That storm hit Morgan City very hard, then moved up the basin to pound communities as far north as New Roads with 90+ mph winds (topping out at about 115 at Big Cajun). Andrew was a very compact storm though and the worst of it threaded the gap between Baton Rouge and Lafayette. It left Baton Rouge with some downed trees and electricity shortfalls, but it was back online pretty quickly.
I'm struggling to remember any storm where Baton Rouge or even Lafayette got 90+ mph sustained winds. Don't think it happened in my lifetime.

I’m just saying this morning people were saying a car 2/3 could be over us.
For example, Laura was fast moving and DeRidder saw Cat 2 winds. But if Laura was slower moving like they say this one will be then BR won't get those.

A ton of them. Tornadoes were everywhere. You could look at ariel views and see the paths. Some parts of town were decent then a few hundred feet from there for a few miles long you can see just sheer carnage.

It had a lot to do with the tornados as well

Highest sustained winds from Gustav were 61 mph

Check….full tank of gas
Check… first shot of phizer vaccine
Check…work closed Monday, and probably Tuesday
Now just debating if I want to drive to houston and fly to vegas Monday since New York New York will comp me monday and Tuesday nights and I’m already staying there Wednesday through Friday before driving to Pasadena Saturday for the LSU UCLA game. The current track puts this going 20 miles west from my house.

4PM CT Ida Update - The time to act is NOW. Hurricane Ida is now forecast to make landfall as a category 4 hurricane. This will bring SIGNIFICANT impacts to Southern Louisiana and Southern Mississippi. No major changes to the track at this time, moved just a touch to the east.

lots. hurricanes come with these things called tornadoes, which are "just wind". one went through my neighborhood and ripped several well built homes in half like paper. NWS stopped counting tornadoes in LC at 460 during Laura. I know people in DeRidder who had homes flattened by straight line wind bursts when it rolled through there as a three. it happens

I am and unfortunately there are a lot of folks in the same situation as you. I get approached all the time by random people looking for help on their house. It's sad. Even worse is all the people getting shoddy, half-arse, repairs done on their places. What sort of repairs do you have outstanding?

Tornado on my street.
Smoked the barber shop to the ground.
Hopped over east and took down the biggest damn tree I've seen uprooted like a twig.
Pull the roof off a house 3 from mine as well as the entire side of a story and a half next door to that one.
Mine didn't lose a window or shingle (roof was brand new).
Like being in a Russian roulette game.
