You good peoples have a real bitch headed your way with hurricane Sally. From what I’m reading and seeing televised it looks like the possibility of up to 24” of rain for some areas within the storm’s path ala the 2016 internal storm rains that we had back then.
Looking to be a very slow moving storm. Good luck, folks and prepare as well as you can. Thinking that The Cajun Navy may be back in action again.

It will be bad. It will hit Mississippi harder than Louisiana. Lots of flooding.

My Mother lives in MS and so does 2 Brothers.
It will be windy and wet for sure.
Her house never got wet during the storms from 69 till now,so i think her house is safe.
After living there most of her life it might just an inconvenience.

After living there most of her life it might just an inconvenience. Supposedly the winds will be on the order of those associated with hurricane Katrina but for a much longer time period due to the slow moving nature of Sally. Lots of folks will be without electricity for quite a while.

I forgot, you're especially gonna die if a storm shows up and you don't have a mask and social distance.

Things look better over here in the greater NOLA area. We'll just have some street signs shaking and some palm fronds wagging enthusiastically in the winds. The eye is going to pass right over my camp in MS though. I went Saturday and anchored the travel trailer as much as I could. I'll be interested in seeing how the pole barn holds up. It is supposed to be good for up to 130MPH, but we know how that goes. I wish I had anchored my feeder. Oh well.

Storm is slowing down. The forward speed is slowing down. This means increased rainfall. And it is moving east.
Mississippi and Alabama are going to get it.

Mississippi and Alabama are going to get it. Yep, looking like it is supposed to hit around the Gulfport / Biloxi area once it high-fives the LA fringe. I'm about 5 miles from the coast and just a few miles from the MS / AL state line. Not looking forward to the rain we are going to get off this one. Work has already canceled tomorrow and Wednesday is likely. Pretty good on supplies if we go a without power. This will be my wife's first storm since she moved down (ID transplant). She's freaking out.

The latest peak intensity forecast went from 85 to 105. 105 is going to make things sporty at the camp. Both of my daughter's and my brother live in the path and are now expected to get hurricane strength winds.

Food plots will get rain. Paul's feeder is gonna tip over and the hogs and deer will get fat and happy. Paul, I hope your camp rides it out well, the feeder will be a minor issue I expect.

I'm not really worried about the feeder. I am now second guessing my decision to leave the RV under the pole barn.
