I am feeling lucky. It's pretty tame near Audubon Park. Occasional squalls with bursts of rain but nothing sustained and power is still on. I am wondering if the pumps at the end of the outfall canals are keeping up...
St Mary Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security posted conditions at Patterson airport and stated wind was gusting to 41mph. If this is what 41 feels like then I'm going to reeeeeeally hate what's coming later.
I can't stand watching these newscasts. For days we've been talking about the possibility of Isaac moving right to the coast and stalling while steering currents collapse. Bob is talking about this like it's something brand new.
Isaac will not do what the NHC forecast is calling for.
