Deja Vu on the Bayou
 
Literally sick to my stomach. Hoping that Isaac doesn't stall and gain strength but the radar is telling me otherwise.

This country and especially the gulf coast doesn't need this right now. I don't know if we could take another Katrina.

Thoughts are with everyone in the gulf. :{>:

Looks like this one is heading right for my front door. Shouldn't be too strong, but there is still plenty of time. Could be a test run of the new pumping equipment in NO.

You heard anything about that sinkhole in Bayou Corne? That's what I'm concerned about.

Nothing new, not since the day it ate a boat and tried to swallow the crew as well.

Supposedly loaded with methane. Not good.

The "spaghetti" models are showing Morgan City getting hit. I have a feeling that it going to be like Andrew, which is bad for the folks in Baton Rouge.

Jim Cantore in Nola not a good sign. 24 hrs ago I was talking to my mother-in-law in Mobile, making sure she was prepped. An hour ago, she was calling us.

Get your generator ready.

The Weather Channel and the rest of the media want to build it up as Katrina 2 as much as possible. The hysteria is incredible. At the end of last week, the computer models were moving the storm away from Florida, but that didn't fit with their big story, so they hardly mentioned it. Now those same models are showing a hit around Morgan City. I trust the models (certain ones more than others) more than I trust the NHC track, which basically picks the middle between the two most extreme models.

This is a great site to use for any information one need's. Almost too much information.

The surge and heavy rain are a concern with this storm. Looks like it's going to stall over Louisiana.

The pumps are the problem. And I don't think they fixed the issue.

One model has it reaching a Cat 3, hope that model is wrong (but it's the same outlier model that said, days ago, it would head to NO).

Worried about all the remaining solvent crap and oil on the ocean bottom from BP spill this hurricane will churn up. Destroy more ocean.

Seven years to the day for Katrina Wednesday.

Yes, by all means be safe.

dagolfer33 08-27-2012 07:45 PM

Told my GM not safe to go to work tomorrow. GM says bull shiat. I say yes sir. In all seriousness, all schools shut down for 2 days, businesses will more than likely will start closing early tomorrow, and non-essential personnel told to stay off the streets Wednesday.

Danzig 08-27-2012 08:02 PM

hope everyone on the gulf coast makes it thru ok. we're supposed to get weather up here starting thursday, but shouldn't compare with what will happen down south.

Just drown him if it starts flooding.

Predicting 20" to 22" inches of rain in NO and BR, this thing is just crawling along...and not losing intensity.
