I don't think the LA folks will have any such luck. As for me I just hope she make the turn tonight.

at its current heading the furthest west it would hit is the Tx, La border so no actual turn north is needed to miss Galveston.

It looks like we in Dothan (that tiny spot on Yahoo maps) will miss most of this. I'll feel the effects financially though. As a manufacurer, I buy several truckloads of lumber each month. Whenever a large hurricane hits our shores, lumber prices rise 25-30% overnight, even before actual supply and demand have a chance to act. If Lili indeed remains this strong, I'll have to buy up a couple of months worth of raw material early tomorrow to beat the gougers at their own game.
