Paul We evacuated. We are at the camp now. I have the camper lashed to the pole barn legs with industrial ratchet straps. We'll finish buttoning it up in the morning. Then head further east yet to my daughter's house. The camp should see 50-60 mph winds. Zeta hit it with more than that last year. Glad to hear you're out and I hope everything comes thru ok.

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.

Good luck. It really sucks when you get it. I'm watching it from the western edge. The only small consolation I can offer is that it's easier on a veteran than it is a rookie.
Keep the faith. NOAA is predicting the surge to be about 10' less than Katrina's. I realize that may not matter, but it might.

Good luck to all our Louisiana and outlying members as this blow travels north. FIL lost his home in Hurricane Beulah, 1967. Everything gone, down to the foundation.

Katrina did several billions of $ in improvements to our state. Maybe we can get about 30 MPH more wind and 10 feet more water this time to finish the job. A bunch of our citizens left and got bussed to Texas where they ended up in jail and never came back.

Here at home the birds are fighting each other trying to get to the feeders that I have out for them and the deer are already in the back yard eating the corn.
This same thing happened before Hurricane Gustave hit.
The animals know something’ Up.

I went to Baton Rouge yesterday and IH 10 was stopped mostly and bumper to bumper from the Texas Border to BR. Over 150 miles....took me 5 hours to get to Slaughter and 8 pit stops and a restaurant).
I went back through Alexandria and Jasper.
Side note...never saw or knew that much sugar cane was grown there!

The animals know something’ Up. Yep. Noticed the neighbors cows are staying around the barn instead of out in the pasture. Definite decline in number of birds this morning. Crows were about the only thing seen flying. I'm nowhere near the storm, its mostly sunny with a breeze. Humidity is high.

That looks to be the case. I hope they have hurricane proofed the LNG facility.
