Looks like the landing spot is around my favorite fishing spot in Point Aux Chenes.

CNN is now LIVE with national coverage and they had Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng on just now and she told people if they haven't left yet to sit tight and hunker down (note the time 4:09AM CT to pull the clip after the storm).

What absolutely awful leadership. She should have gave an update on the traffic and had more of a tone of the Mayor of Rockport, TX before Hurricane Harvey in 2017, "We’re suggesting if people are going to stay here, mark their arm with a Sharpie pen with their name and Social Security number."

She could have influenced dozens of locals that may have been watching her at this hour to get on the road. Instead it is like the politicians are all doubling down on not want to offer any services.

That’s the thing, they don’t work at all. You would literally have the exact same results with a box fan . Maybe even worse because box fans blow harder than that thing does.

They both blow the same temp air as a box fan does. Just not as hard as a box fan

Yeah that updated levee is going to get a good test.

PAC Marina doesn’t seem like it stands much of a chance, unfortunately.

I blame YouTube for my overconfidence to stay. I’ve watched hurricane hunters ride the storm out in their cars at car washes and make it through unharmed . Obviously I’ll be fine in a house

You should have built a Blue Shed. You would be money right now.

Haha that guy was me

The evaporative cooler was bought WAY before The generator as a “better than nothing” purchase at Walmart from the as seen on TV section when stocking up on batteries.

I have one in backyard and had a pep talk with it that it can’t let down the history of the blue shed by folding like a little bitch in this storm.

Are the local stations taking a cat nap because this day is going to be INTENSE, or what because none of them are live right now. (And by none, I checked Fox 8 and WAFB).

Riding out on 5th floor of hospital in metro NOLA. Got a window with a view so I’ll let y’all know if there’s a Lootie sighting.

Gonna have to watch the windows too with all the trash and debri I see lining the streets every day on my way in.

Mayor Lee Dragna (Morgan City) on CNN and he is a fricking a-hole too.

He sounds like he is laying in bed on the phone. He couldn't even bother to get on Zoom like the Jefferson Parish President.

How about a little enthusiasm or urgency in your voice to help relay the magnitude of worst case scenario as this storm bears down? BE A LEADER.

Lee is a character, but to be fair, Morgan City is in a lot better shape right now than it was a day or two ago. Looks like they’ll dodge the bullet a bit here, although it will still be a little hairy.

On a lighter note, Happy 16th anniversary to the legend Lootie.

I have a buddy that spends a lot of time in Grand Isle and he said one of the groups of people that decided to stay is a family of 4.
