re: Tornado warning in BR

I was at Laberge last night and had a nice dinner with some gambling. People kept coming in saying it was horrible out so I just stayed there, finally left around 1:30am and it looked like a bomb went off outside. College was flooded, Acadian had flooding, a large tree fell blocking the right lane just past 10/the shell station, then there was police/fire trucks at the end of my block once I made it home. I missed the entire storm somehow

North BR?

Naw, I'm a little to fair skinned to be up there.

How long do you think food will keep in the fridge? Power went off last night around 9-10. Entergy is saying 11pm tonight is when service will be restored. Thinking bout getting the ice chests and loading them up.

If you haven't done it yet, it is probably to late. My power went out at the same time and the temp in my fridge was up to 42° at 8am before I cranked up the generator.


Danger Zone

bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the “Danger Zone.”

Refrigerated Food and Power Outages

Is food in the refrigerator safe during a power outage? It should be safe as long as power is out no more than 4 hours. Keep the door closed as much as possible. Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers) that have been above 40 °F for over 2 hours.
