This thing is going to do catastrophic damage. My neighborhood will see 100 mph gusts. When I evacuated yesterday people had moved their cars, campers and trailer boats to the shoulder of highway 90 where it goes through the marsh in eastern LA. Those will be inundated with water. They will probably be scattered all over the road making return via that route impossible.

I see no way that my house doesn't lose power. I emptied all the crap that could go bad out of the fridge. I hate this waiting game. Following Katrina I returned to see 50 foot shrimp boats on the road going to my house. My house was scattered all over several city blocks. I love the Gulf Coast, but this crap gets old.
