That's getting too close to my neck of the woods for the holiday weekend.

It's looking worse for you at the moment, but that will probably change. The winds always push storms NE.

Freakin' rain. We've had areas flood that didn't when Katrina hit. We have flooded roads 60 miles inland

Even though I won't even get drizzle out of this, my camper is prepared with hand crank radios and lanterns. Indispensable items for anyone really. I hope I never have to evacuate, but if I do, I will be ready!
ETA: I have friends in NOLA, two of whom are recovering from surgeries. No one has heard from them for days. They are NOT the type to "stick it out", so I am assuming that they evacuated ahead of the storm. I sent a prayer their way.

Three hours west of New Orleans...
...we lost power for a day.
...a limb came off the pecan tree. ...I contemplated how best to kill a crazy old woman and a frenetic 6 year old. Today: business as usual. From what I hear: Slidell -- a town north of N.O. where I lived for a chunk of time -- was hit hard (10 feet of water in some areas)...Slidell was beaten down badly by Katrina, so, I'm guessin' lots of folks (who stayed and rebuilt) there are less than fully gruntled today. Also: Plaquemines parish got it bad.

Hancock County got hit hard, too. Flooding has been the major issue in MS., but we still have the threat of tornados

Yesterday, in passing, I saw a reporter in Slidell, LA standing uphill from part of the town. The camera zoomed a little over his shoulder, and showed several businesses under what looked like at least 4-6 feet of water. The reporter said some of those shops were put out of business by Hurricane Katrina.
Some of them re-opened just seven (now eight) days ago.

I keep chacking in to see who is still checking in.
Love and support to those of you dealing with this and the aftermath. If you can, come and say Hello so we know you're okay.

Yeah, I'd assume that heavy rain on parched soil isn't good for much except filling reserviours.
