I am with you on the ominous feeling and I was without power for 17 days in BR for Gustav. Now have generator but still worried about that kind of damage. I don’t remember having so much rain in advance of any previous hurricane.

This run would be pretty rough for Nola

Sounds like business as usual


I have to get to michoud and back to Old Metairie this morning. I’m hoping I can do that with little to no traffic.

How is the commute on I10 eastbound towards the twin spans looking?

Word from the ground from MSY: they expect no flights tomorrow no matter how early. Many airlines will clear the inventory on site overnight. If you were hoping on it, best bet is to try to hop in on standby, but earlier rather than later.

Race Trac at Williams/Airline in Kenner has gas this morning and no lines. They were out last night.

Fairly normal drop and it slows down so yeah, once on land for almost 24 hours it is only a minimal TS.
agreed- but one of my points was that it won’t remain as strong going inland as Laura- which was an unusual case- but the NHC has mentioned dry air and shear causing rapid weakening in addition to the normal land interaction caused diminishment. I’m also just looking for good news. That’s not so bad is it? The mention of the intensity models backing off a bit is true and potentially, ‘slightly’ good news, right?

Theriot, La


My in-laws have a camp down there. They live in Houma. They left this morning at 4:00 to come stay with us here in BR.

Edit: no traffic for them on the way here…until they got to Highland.

Got up early to go to Home Depot and get a carbon monoxide detector. Store opens at 6 but there’s a line waiting like a 90s alternative concert. Everyone with their cart(the big one) ready.

I don’t know man. The NHC started introducing the idea that dry air may start being pulled into it closer to landfall. If that happens, lots of prayers will have been heard
agreed- and this could very well happen thereby not only reducing rain totals but the very intense winds could be knocked down even more than usual for a large landfalling storm. I still think there is a decent possibility of this which would ‘lessen’ , to a relative extent, the severe wind damage inland. We can always hope (and pray) for that outcome which is a possibility.

Am I correct in saying that Br will now be on the west side of the storm now? Or because the eye will pass over close by that it will still be a shite show?

Also I noticed that now it says Cat 2 over our area. Yesterday they had it at a cat 1. I’m guessing the think it won’t die as quickly as they thought?

We have such big trees around us and while none fell with Gustov or Andrew I feel this may be stronger than those two.

New HMON is a bit weaker at landfall 960 instead of 941 mb. Hope it is a trend and not a model run that was off base

I remember all that approach shear and dry air with Laura.

If Cat 2 winds come over Baton Rouge expect some of those trees to possible come down especially with how saturated the ground is already.

Just reporting that I-10 from Beaumont to the state line is flowing good. Little more volume than usual for a Saturday morning but not bad at all.
