My daughter just called me and her work, Whitney bank is not closing at all. WTH is wrong with them? Having employees out in 90 plus winds. Ridiculous!
I work for Whitney and this is a little misleading. Yes, we're at work today and suspect we'll be in in the morning. However, I'd be surprised if we work passed early afternoon. I can also promise you that unless things drastically change your daughter will not have to report on Wednesday.

Hubby just said the same thing about his job. I have no idea what these people are thinking.

As of right now, my DH has to go from the River Parishes to downtown New Orleans for work tomorrow. He then has to drive his truck back to the River Parishes, run his route, get back downtown, and then drive back home. I am strongly hoping they will change their mind. Especially since that big delivery truck is tall and the wind will push it around.

Probably because they see that it has not been upgraded to a hurricane yet, they might change their mind come tomorrow morning.

Does anyone know what the storm surge for the lake is forecast to be? I live on the lake right by the rigolets bridge and am trying to decide when to leave. Thanks so much for all your information.

. Maybe because local media are downplaying it a little, they don't realize how bad this MIGHT be.
I Live in Eden Isles in Slidell and still trying to decide what to do. I work at the airport in Kenner for TSA and as of yet we have not been released, so until we are released I can't go anywhere.

Time to break out the old "answer by the numbers " post
If I owned Baskins & Robbins, I would feature a special at all stores in a storms path. It would be a double scoop for the price of a single, but it would be two different flavors of the largest in inventory. Since this would be the servers decision........why of course, it would be called ........................"The Cone of Uncertainity"
SKYSUMMIT: I'm hoping we're shoveling snow for Christmas

stormydds: Thanks for your reply... as usual
Nov 5, 2022 11:37:29 GMT -6
Zack Fradella: Yea, Lezak had a paper peer reviewed and published a year or so ago.
Nov 5, 2022 9:03:24 GMT -6
stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis?
Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6
Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world.
Nov 4, 2022 3:38:49 GMT -6
stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives?

SKYSUMMIT: Man I really hope that rain moves quickly on Saturday. I'm so pumped for 6 hours of awesome college football!

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Been unblocked. Dylan says that the station took major damage, so no idea when they'll even be able to stream again, or be on the air. Hopefully, they will at least let their employees deal with their own property issues!

gullywasher: Seriously, must we deal with Bruce Katz at noon, 4, 5 AND 9. ?
Sept 30, 2022 20:03:25 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: According to another met on twitter, the kitten was rescued by a producer who's adopting it. Of course that hasn't stopped the angry mob, with torches and pitchforks, who are insisting that it's a lie.
Sept 29, 2022 17:48:05 GMT -6
nolachic: Pink - he's probably blocking people he doesn't personally know to keep his cell charged and to get his head straight, and I'm sure he is beyond exhausted.
Sept 29, 2022 9:23:35 GMT -6
SKYSUMMIT: I sent him a message yesterday as well, but he hasn't seen it.
Sept 29, 2022 5:46:06 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Oh hell, I meant for that to be a message!
Sept 28, 2022 19:38:19 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Dylan is taking a beating on Twitter. I just tried to send him a message of support, since we've been following each other for years, and HE BLOCKED ME!!!!!! Somebody who can get to him needs to do so, pronto!!! I'm very worried about him.
