Nagin was a piece of shite but he had the balls to make that call 24 hours before the storm hit

Recon put the 21z VDM about 8 miles SW of the NHC 4:00 pm fix. The 974mb is about 5mb higher than the 12z HWRF & HMON for 21z.

It's going to be really fricking bad, and if you stay, there will be a moment in time when you realize you done fricked up.
Everyone bickering about wabbles and whether the wind will be 110 or 120 is retarded.

Will the hurricane hit BR dead on, or will we be east or west of it? Being west would be better, right?
IDK about a direct hit at BR. The models have gotten better the past few years, and they seem to be zeroing in on the Baton Rouge metropolitan area.
When they are wrong, they tend to be wrong because the storm tracked farther east than expected (they often hook right after landfall). And I think the Ida is tracking slightly more northerly than the NW direction that projection cones predict. That’s why I think Orleans and vulnerable areas in Jefferson should evacuate either this afternoon or tonight just to be safe.
And yes the west side is the better side of the storm with respect to wind intensity.

How low is "less competent than Nagin" on the scale? Does the scale even go that low?

TD can be the absolute best and worst place on the Internet. But when it comes to SE LA news and updates there is not a better source of news on earth. You just have to sort through some dogshit sometimes. After a few years you become an expert in sniffing it out and ignoring it.
Absolutely.
That part is hard to get through for newer folks!

I’m agree but if I have to choose between getting shot with a .22 in the leg and catching a .45 to the chest you better believe I’m trying my hardest to predict where that .45 round ends up.

Any idea on when the Causeway might be closed?

Hunkered down in Hammond. Thought I was going to be ok but starting to second guess it. I have plenty beer at least.

since when was br getting 100mph sustained winds
Never.. And not going to.. Maybe gusts.

quote:. That’d be very impressive to say the least and catastrophic. But I doubt it. If BR actually gets sustained winds above 110mph I’d be shocked. I think GUSTS pushing 95 are possible and is what I saw on NOAA’s forecast for BR for around 3:00am Monday. Certainly no picnic obviously, on the order of Gustav impacts.
For the Baton Rouge metro area: Expect winds >110mph sustained.

Now, that's something to work with.

Yes. BR being west of the storm is better for BR. Worse is being on the NE side of a hurricane.
Now about that alert that BR will get 110+ Mph sustained winds? That won’t happen IMO but if it does, way worse than Gustav.
