The only way this storm could become serious was if it stalled.
Well, its stalled.
Hope Funt and BR were able to make it to the Superdome in time.
What's the situation looking like to you now, manny? prognosis?
Levee overtopped in Plaquemines Parish, SE of NOLA http://www.nola.com/hurricane/index...._parish_o.html
The 4am advisory has it moving again, at 8mph WNW. That's good news. The wind is roaring here in NOLA.
That article is from Sept. 2011 regarding Tropical Storm Lee
Southeast LA is going to become part of the Gulf of Mexico if this damn thing doesn't get moving. It's just barely creeping NW on the doppler right now.
If they do, they'll find locked doors. It was pretty clearly stated in the run up to the storm that those refuges would NOT be available this time around.

I still have no power, my phone is about to die, it's hot as balls in my apartment, and the wind has pushed a bunch of rain water in under my balcony doors, but otherwise everything is fine where I'm at.
8 mph is pretty decent speed. Especially compared to zero. SE LA is pratically the Gulf. Calling it swamp is generous.
They just had some news about a family who is in their attic because of that parish levee that was overtaken by water. They actually had them on the phone. They havea 1 year old and were saying all this poor me stuff and how they were told by the cops that they should get out because the levee was about to break, but they decided to stay.
I am glad you lost all your stuff. Stupidity should hurt. I am sorry for the kid, but if you have a freaking kid (especially a 1 year old), you move your ass.

Power is out and it's still windy but not as strong as overnight. The storm is slowly pushing west. No flooding reported in the greater N.O. area.
One levee overtopped (not one of the improved corps of engineers levees) and major flooding in one of the lightly populated coastal parishes.
Its all about flooding with this storm. Sustained TS force winds will cause some damage when they last this long but its more worrying wondering what 20+ inches of rain will do to NO.
It's crazy to see 80mph gusts of wind in person and how strong they are and then to think that Katrina was twice as strong, it's no wonder that it blew pieces of the roof off the Superdome and put a hole it it.
Right, that's the last obstacle with this one. The good news is that for the most part it's been on and off light and heavy rain, which means the pumps are able to keep up.
Well...its down to 5 now so we seem to be headed in the wrong direction.
How much is house insurance in Louisiana tbh
flood usually isnt covered in a homeowners policy, hence the national flood insurance program
Good to hear. Keep us updated when you can CF, Darth, BR, etc etc. I'm gonna check with some of my friends in Biloxi to see how they're doing once the storm passes.
It doesn't really matter, since they'll just say your isn't covered after the fact, especially if you have all-state or state farm... "Sorry, flood isn't covered..."
