@Jolly There’s a hurricane a coming!
https://weather.com/safety/hurricane/news/2021-08-26-caribbean-disturbance-tropical-storm-hurricane-gulf-coastA friend of mine that is an avid amateur meteorologist and has been remarkably accurate has mentioned that he thinks it will be a strengthening hurricane hitting New Orleans on Sunday. Not Katrina level, but significant…

110mph, major hurricane level.
It's that time of the year...

The one last weekend was pretty insignificant. What a fuss about nothing! Anybody from the south would have laughed at all the commotion.

Pray it doesn't hit Lake Charles.
There are still people living in tents and camping trailers from last year.

Felix. Felix was absolutely insignificant.

It looks like it will be directly over Lake Charles on Monday at 8:00 AM.

Maybe.
If there's anything I've learned about predicting hurricanes, is that they are unpredictable.

They've shifted the American model a little east. Looks like the center of the cone is Houma.
If that's the case, that's bad ju-ju for New Orleans.
As usual, I'm working this Sunday, so the drive home may be a little sporty, especially on the bridge. I started preps yesterday...Checked out my generator, filled it up and sat another 25 gallons of gas back. I'll be using my saws this morning and I'll sharpen them afterwards. The wife will pick up some food for the finicky cat today, so barring unforseen problems, I should be able to stay dry, fed and somewhat cool for a few days.

Or Florida. That collection of batteries is nothing compared to what I found at my mother's house a couple of weeks ago. Some were 10 years past their "good by" date.

Maybe some hurricane force winds, around 4-6 inches of rain or so, just another day at the office.
The Hunter plane this morning placed Ida at 150mph, 935mb, which makes her stronger than Laura. She's a hair east of track, which makes it better for me in my part of the state, but I wouldn't want to be in New Orleans this evening. Good news is that almost all of the pumps are working, so you you shouldn't see the debacle of Katrina. But it certainly could be Betsy.
Speaking of, today is the anniversary of Katrina.
What we don't need is another "Forgotten Storm". Folks don't remember Rita, which followed Katrina and was actually a stronger hurricane. The one-two punch was not to be forgotten.
