"I didn't think of....all the poisonous
snakes will go to high ground"
Not just snakes. Fireants form a floating ball around the queen in floods and float till they reach dry ground.
The oystercam has been looted.
As for CH6....I took a look at their "new station" doesnt look too windsafe to me.

Good reply. Thanks :(
Combining the possible effects of this storm with the flooding that just occurred in Europe, the insurance and re-insurance businesses may be seeing largish draws on their reserves.
Anytime there is a possibility that a hurricane is heading our way, we leave. Period. Fools who think that they can ride them out are just that - fools. People have to take it upon themselves to leave even before any evacuations are called for. IMO, any storm Cat 3 or higher we just go ahead and leave BEFORE we are told to. God bless those people.

The vapor chart shows her punching into drier air. With the edges already over land this might be as strong as it gets.

No guarantees, just something to hope for.
At current speed, in 12-15 hours.
LOL That struck my funny bone. Laughter through tears are the best kind.
I was wondering about that - thanks!
(Glad to see you back.)
I lived there for a while in the early 70s.
We used to go out to the paddocks of the racetrack
out Elysian Fields and pick mushrooms, but that's
another story.
I can't even imagine 90 degree water. Up here in New England, the water temp is 60-63 degrees off Hampton Beach, NH. I've been swimming there the past four weeks and I never remember water so warm up in these parts. Ninety degrees would be like swimming in my bathtub!
Max,
Please read the threads. This has been repeatedly addressed already -- short answer YES that is a real message from NOLA NWS office and while it describes the worst-case scenario, the chances of that coming to fruition are disturbingly high.

I remember walking in Galveston, Texas, reading some plaques about Hurricanes. A couple of Churches have withstood a number of Hurricanes there (with no damage).
It is my personal belief in God that God can intervene. And there are stories from World War II that I can cite.
One is the story about the Jesuits who got nuked in Hiroshima. They all lived to a very old age -- despite about 1/2 of them being within a mile of ground zero.
They also stayed in the harmful environment of radiation for months afterward helping people.
Scientists examined them at the time (1940's) and could not figure out why they did not suffer the awful effects of radiation poisoning.
The coastal animals were seen flewing last night. Someone up there was herding His animals to safety. Turning to a Good Shepherd at this time might be advisable...
Florida death count is at 9 now.
Early morning, 2-5am is what I heard.
