SEVERE WEATHER THREAT: 3/30/2022

Not cheap. The electric powered ones are even more. That said, they are another level of comfort and safety. CoolVue is where I send people. LAS is a ridiculous rip off and for some reason
they prey on older people. CoolVue came measured my windows and doors and then custom built them at their shop in Kenner. They let me contract their best installer on the weekends and we became friends. I’m tool savvy and we both put them in. Saved lots on labor. Todd has since done work for friends and family. Meticulous. I recommend the manual roll down as it is not hard to wind them. I can get the whole house locked down in 3 minutes. We drop them every overnight severe threat. They also cut down most of the wind roar during storms. We also have
a stucco house. Was really impressed with the noise attenuation. We have them for every opening on the house including the front door. You roll that one down from the front porch with a special tool. Ironically I blew off all the tornado alerts in 2017 and could not get them down in time when the Elmwood tornado came through the backyard. That will never happen again. Was pissed at myself. We really like the shutters but nobody will escape damage from an F3 in your yard. The shutters also provide disaster security and keep the house cooler when down and on generator power. Drowns out the generator noises also. Hope this helps.

Interesting to see if businesses and schools close early again especially W of NOLA?.

It sounds like Reed Timmer took notes on the westerly wind, and he's targeting the southern end of the MDT risk area...or perhaps south of it. He says he's targeting "south of the elbow in the upper trough."

I think we will all know a lot more when the line develops
