What the favored forecast model people like on here?

I’m on 610 by Elysian Fields and traffic is already backed up heading out the city. If you’re planning to leave Nola you better start moving cause this shite blows.

Where to install carbon monoxide detector.
quote:
Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance. Keep the detector out of the way of pets and children. Each floor needs a separate detector. If you are getting a single carbon monoxide detector, place it near the sleeping area and make certain the alarm is loud enough to wake you up.

Low. Carbon monoxide is heavy by the time it gets to regular smoke detector height you might already be unconcious
Thank you! That’s what I thought but I wasn’t sure. We will definitely have it on the floor or close to it near where we will be staying. Think we’re just gonna all huddle up in one room with our trusty little window unit ac

I'd rather ride a cat5 out in a trailer in Grand Isle
I’d pay for rooms out of my own pocket to avoid that.

There’s a myth that carbon monoxide alarms should be installed lower on the wall because carbon monoxide is heavier than air. In fact, carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and diffuses evenly throughout the room. According to the carbon monoxide guidelines of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 720, 2005 edition), all carbon monoxide alarms “shall be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms,” and each alarm “shall be located on the wall, ceiling or other location as specified in the installation instructions that accompany the unit.”
Why CO alarms are often installed near the floor Standalone carbon monoxide alarms are often placed low on the wall because they need to be plugged into an outlet that’s near the floor. CO alarms can also have a screen that shows the CO level and needs to be at a height where it’s easy to read.

if you need to evacuate a city from a hurricane that is hitting 60-90 miles away from you there is something wrong with living in this state
either people are losing their minds or this place is uninhabitable

The NHC official track.

CO is lighter than air (N2 and O2). It ought to mix pretty evenly through the room.

We might have a Cat 2 in BR that hits just to the west of us? If that happens, OMFG.

quote:no doubt- but Laura and Michael were definitely anamolies, don’t think you think? Because on the flip side there are a ton of historical examples of strong storms landfalling along the northern gulf coast weakening rapidly just as/before they did- i.e. Carmen (‘74), Opal (‘95), Liliy (‘02), Ivan (‘04), even Katrina (‘05), even Camille I believe- all were quickly weakening actually just before making landfall. Of course I’m not taking away the fact that most of those still were very devastating- but largely due to intense storm surge- because of the large wind fields and time of intense winds over the open water pushing it all into land.
remember all that approach shear and dry air with Laura.

Staying put as well but the number of people saying they aren’t is making me think I’m being stupid.
What’s people’s barrier for leaving? Trees? Loss of power? Flooding?
Not a stupid question, trying to think this through

Its more about losing power than safety for a lot of folks

That's a myth. Carbon monoxide is not a heavy air. Carbon dioxide is. You can have ceiling mounted CO detectors. It basically blends in with regular air

And you seem like a smart guy, but just remind you to put your generator as far from the window unit as possible. Window unit can pull the CO in from outside. Some people will scoff but CO poisoning and heat stroke cleaning up after the storm killed more people after Laura than the storm did during landfall.

Interesting that all major models are picking up on the west side kinda falling apart right at landfall with very rapid weakening
Also new GFS and HWRF continue right on NHC track

For someone that talks about being a transplant and learning new parts of the state due to hurricane geography, you sure have some opinions

I'll note that the official NWS forecast for Covington now states "tropical storm conditions with hurricane conditions possible," Yesterday it was "hurricane conditions." The hour by hour forecast is for sustained winds of 30 mph. The rain total is now 8 inches, down from 12. I don't now how that matches up with a cat 3/4 hurricane tracking ~60 miles away but there it is
The thing that would worry me about Covington is all the pine trees. Those things could turn into missiles even in a strong TS.
