IMO you made the right decision. Trying to drive over to the west side of the eye is going to get you stuck in your car in some shitty pine tree infested road catching full horsepower.

Moving at 15 mph now.. down from 16 mph?
Is that right? Maybe adds almost an hour to landfall.

185/15 = 12.33

So are we thinking around 12:00 tomorrow?

It’s just an awful situation and if by some grace New Orleans and our house escape with just a week of power outages this is still going to be a hard look in the mirror for us on if we can raise kids here. Just sick to my stomach atm.


With all due respect this is a knee jerk reaction. Name one region of the country that doesn’t have some sort of stuff like this

Damn, it's nice having a private meteorologist on-hand at 12:50 AM on a Sunday morning.

Appreciate the intel; looking more like this hussy plans on visiting us out on the farm (NW Livingston), so we have both a pucker in our step and a newfound curiosity about what happens in/around the eyewall. Again, I appreciate the response and details.

Get some sleep--we gonna be relying on your arse tomorrow!

For the first time in my life, the thrill of the adrenaline rush of an approaching hurricane is beginning to transition to a pit in my stomach feeling. I just have a gut feeling this is going to be terrifying for those of us in the direct path. Prayers for all of you for safety and as little damage as possible.

It's setting up to be a home game for the Cajun Navy. One they never wanted to have.

Nights before a big storm always feel ominous because the energy in the air always feels different. Stay safe out there, this we’re gonna get through.

Yes, we left and are just past beaumont but I have a very bad feeling in my gut that we will return home to no home. We are temporarily in a mobile home while we get things straight and begin building a house but still losing everything we couldn't bring is just a feeling I'm dreading.

I'm starting to feel that way too. I've been overthinking about every possible situation for the past hour or two and it's not helping at all.
