I wouldn't like a hurricane....but I think I would like to watch one make its way to shore.
I’ve only experienced them as weak tropical storms after they came inland. The first thing different as you get into the outskirts is the steady breeze that doesn’t quit, like what you would get from an electric fan but everywhere. It feels distinct and ominous, heralding the approach of the storm. What you are experiencing is the outer edge of the humongous mass of air rotating around the eye. Air has mass and momentum to a degree most folks don’t realize. Up above 100% overcast with the whole sky moving in unison, if you can see far enough you can make out the sky is moving in an arc relative to wherever the eye is The rain is heavy and is the warmest rain you ever felt. All that air that rose in the hurricane has to come down, an it does, beyond the edges of the storm, becoming warm and dry as it descends with a chinook effect, if East Texas is getting hammered San Antonio can be unusually hot and dry. One time there was a tropical storm passing to the west, it was clear and sunny where I was but on the western horizon you could see a mass of clouds all in motion. Basically, if you’ve seen the satellite images of a storm rotating around an eye, from the ground it looks like you would expect it to. To add to what Birdie said. There is an eerie feeling that cant be described. Birds disappear, cattle will stop feeding and herd up at the barn or in the woods, and all this a before the storms hits, a day or two earlier. The sky takes on a strange glow, before the complete cloud cover. It's different! The worst one for me came through at night. My first wife kept waking me up, she was very scared. My neighbors 600 ft green house was wrapped around the back of our house and just raising hell flapping and popping in the rain and wind. I thought that was going to be a good thing but it made a kind of funnel, flooded the dining room and kitchen flooring, water running under one door. Beer helps.

It’s amazing how quickly a group of people can stop sweating COVID.
LOL Maybe some HCQ blowing in from Afreeka. Lol.

Watching the Weather Underground Channel they’re showing live viewing of various sections of interstate 10 across Louisiana.
It’s a parking lot.

New Orleans Mayor just made an appearance saying that “there’s no time left to issue an emergency evacuation order”
The Amazing Latoya must have been on vacation the past few days.
At least Ray Ray Nagin told folks to gtfo and led the way two days earlier than his announcement.

It’s a parking lot. Lots of LA tags piling in here yesterday. Went to Home Depot earlier for a few things. La tags everywhere. They weren't exactly fighting over the generators yet, but it was gettin' sporty.

This thing could just get real ugly with all the energy pouring into it in such a short time. You folks hang tough down there! I worked Katrina out of Gulfport,MS. I would not wish to ride one of those boogers out unless I was in my own design concrete and steel home!

Two kinda folks. Those that are hard headed. They ain’t leaving. Those that gotta be told to leave. They are on i-10 stuck in traffic right now with g-tank on 1/8 full.

I believe that Governor Edwards is trying to liase with the National Guard to maybe run fuel trucks where they can along the Interstates. I believe Texas did that for their people who were evacuating north a few years back.

I agree with Flave! Who needs an order to realize a hurricane is heading your way and you need to evacuate in many areas!
