We got cable and internet back this evening. Hoping that we have enough data saved up from ATT so that I won't be hammered.
I'm sorry, but I have to reiterate exactly how cool it was to be in the eye. I even got a shout out from iCyclone for my first experience. 😂🤣😂🍻

I live in Cut Off and it was my first time experiencing the eye for REAL lol. Very cool and thank goodness for the break! Was able to go out and pick up some of the flying debris near the house before the 2nd half started. Towards the end of round 2, if you looked toward the west, you could actually see sunlight!

Hurricane Andrew even though it technically hit around Morgan City or a little west of there, I was living in northern Terrebonne parish (Schriever), the northern eyewall scraped us. But it was night time and we had winds over 100 mph so we didn’t dare go outside. Betsy was way before I was born but eye went directly over Thibodaux, and my mom said she went outside and got to experience it. Could see the stars and everything. Betsy went right up Bayou Lafourche and Thibodaux got 130 mph winds. But for Zeta we barely had tropical storm force winds. It was the angle it went in. Just a little further west into Morgan city for zeta, would of put me in the dangerous part. I definitely didn’t want to deal with damage but was really thinking I would experience a bit more with Zeta wind wise and was a little bummed.

60 miles southwest of New Orleans) Thibodaux, La

I was lucky and did very well with no damage in the storm. My guess is my neighborhood saw 70-80 mph winds for about an hour with a few gusts in the 90's. I know we got the eye, and as Zak said, it was a "dirty eye." I could see the sun glinting off the SE eye wall and feel it when it passed over. But there were gusts in variable directions when it was overhead. I'd like to see a detail of its path over New Orleans if anyone has a link.

I was happily surprised at how quick we got power and internet back. With the downed trees and snapped poles, I thought it would be a week. We got power back on Friday afternoon and internet on Saturday morning.

Power restored late Friday night. Not much damage to my house, but many others around me not as fortunate. Still no cable. Almost finished cleaning up big mess left by the wind and the water, not much came in this time.

I finally got my power back here in west Biloxi yesterday afternoon and I'm glad to get it back. The hurricane was bad in my neighborhood but my property and myself made out good.

The cooler weather was a plus; late Wednesday night into earlyThursday morning was uncomfortable inside the house but the rest of the week was bearable with the cooler temperatures outside. It's nice to have my quiet neighborhood again without the sound of generators running all day.

saintlybraves: where is this so called "low" supposed to develop? Any better indications with modeling today? We are going to Destin this week and of course I'd like for a more westerly setup. Apr 10, 2023 16:04:49 GMT -6

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? Nov 3, 2022 14:39:19 GMT -6

SKYSUMMIT: Man I really hope that rain moves quickly on Saturday. I'm so pumped for 6 hours of awesome college football! Nov 3, 2022 7:15:01 GMT -6

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! Oct 2, 2022 18:17:35 GMT -6

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. Sept 28, 2022 19:37:27 GMT -6
