In my opinion....that is pretty dangerous and irresponsible storm chasing. Out of surges way not as much...but he really has no idea what he might encounter. Had his car stalled and those ramps not be near.....

Friend stayed behind in Lake Charles. She is saying toilets won’t flush because too much rain. Water ponding in the yards. Water leaking from her ceiling. (She had roof damage from Laura) power has been flickering but hasn’t completely went out yet.

OH MY GOD I am so far behind. I get up for 10 minutes to craft my first hurricane cocktail of the evening and suddenly I'm 5 pages behind.

Anyway, WHY did you friend stay? And stay someplace that isn't secure? Oh I hope she's not alone. Is she continuing to stay?

She left for Laura. She has a severe autistic son and it isn’t easy to travel with him and hard to stay at hotels. I also have a nonverbal autistic 6 year old and it wouldn’t be easy. Anyway she tried to leave but left too late and traffic was so grid lock that she came back home

Even Morgerman wouldn't go down there for either storm, said there is no safe place to be down there.

He's in Estherwood for this one near Crowley.

Ok this has to be the eyewall. Sustained winds ramped up big time in lake charles. This has gone to another level!

Man stay safe! Thanks for continued posts. I’m not sure how someone was questioning what was to come there eventually.

So, I'm confused. The storm chaser dude that was just down in Cancun had a small car with low clearance that he said he asked for and liked because it was low and solid [or something like that]. This guy that we are all watching who just went through the surge looks like he is in a truck. Why the difference? It seems like you would always choose one over the other? Or, is that some only look for the eye, ergo car lower to the ground, and others look for surge in trucks?

Who's in that band stretching from BR to Houma? How is it? Houma is reporting 44mph gusts at times.

I am...it’s not bad. Just steady rain and some pretty good gusts every now and then.

Please let her know that she and her family are in our prayers throughout all of this. And, of course, you and your family as well. I have 2 close friends with kids at different points on the non verbal spectrum. Beautiful children who's smiles can light up the darkest of days, but, I know it's not easy.
