HURRICANE ISAAC Discussion Thread #17

9:20 and power hasn't even blinked in Thibodaux. And can't really hear the weather that much.

We still have power, but with the big gusts it's making loud howling noises.

Yeah, looks to have begun a WNW movement. I wonder how closely this follows the GFS's forecast path.

Getting closer to hurricane force wind gusts at Lakefront right now, still snowing.

Thanks so much, we needed that!

I heard that too and thought of all of the posts on here over the last several days that this storm would catch people by surprise and come in feeling stronger than people are expecting. If I heard correctly, Mayor Camardelle followed that statement a minute later saying he feels like it's a strong cat 2 or weak 3.

TWC reported that the roof of Billy Nungessors house has blown off.
