Louisiana (or maybe Tejas) landfall looks likely.

Could be gettin' dicey on Wednesday.

Keep your eyes on it.

Barren down the hatches.

Shouldn’t this be in the #DOOM thread?

GOHSEP has been activated and we'll be meeting later this morning.

Looks like it is now headed more to the east than what is shown in Softball Bat's map. Or in other words, Louisiana's population center is going to flood.

Thanks for the heads up. The last thing you’d want is for your dumpater to get blown away.

Mikey was just having some fun.

Jtr once said "barren down the hatches" in here, and its been a running joke since then.

We will NOT joke about what was obviously a mere auto-correct by JtR's phone. Jess is living the dream

Funny, I thought it was Wolfie. But I'm getting old and my brain seems to be aging faster than the rest of me.

I know that Wolfie coined "dumpater," though.

Be safe!!

Whattaya mean *not*? In the words of Goober McToober, he's a fat fucking RETARD ( a phrase usually aimed at KC Paul) and the times he posted smackable material was intentional. Yes that's right folks he happily provided a target at his own expense but that's because he enjoyed well wrought smack. Said as much in chat eons ago.

And yeah I recall the time jtr posted a weather forecast for the benefit of some clown in Korea, and the legendary "barren"
malapropism.

It's fat FUCKING retard

Before we throw it out, I think I CAN find a use in here....

Thank you for not saying something about Barron Trump.

He might have.

You're quite the purist. Good lookin' out.

Never a good sign when Jim Cantore is nearby

Looks like it will hit as a Cat 2, and even as far north as Baton Rouge will have hurricane force winds. But the worst part likely will be the flooding, here in Baton Rouge we'll probably get 6 to 8 inches of water in just 24 hours, with about twice that overall in the next week.

Some pics from the Unified Command Group meeting earlier with the Governor and Cabinet at the Emergency Operations Center.

Rack the Situation Room photos (not images).

Good stuff!







Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan...

The blue dot is the home of a friend of mine. The line is the current projected path of the hurricane.

The good news for him is that they think the storm will continue to trend to the east. But as of this moment, he will get a direct hit.

Thoughts and prayers for Quitman and Ponchatoula.

And RACK for 88.

Did Roux bake a king cake for the event?

Hell no.

You only eat king cakes during Mardi Gras season.

Here we see gathered two of every kind of bureaucrat, assembled in this futuristic ark. They can be seem sampling the delicious cola substitute for water that will be distributed after the event.
Paint scheme for Superdome welcoming centre: approved.

Lemon bars?

The hospital staff owes him a shitload of baked goods.

So far just kinda rainy with not much breeze here in Baton Rouge. But it is on the way in just a few hours from now. My dogs are already upset, somehow they can tell something isn't right.

Would this be indicative at all about the storm being a slow mover, thus dropping even more rain?

The storm has slowed down some, but it isn't like when we flooded in 2016. That storm just stopped on top of us.

Baton Rouge is actually in a hurricane warning now, which isn't that common this far from the coast. Trees are going to get blown down, which means we'll lose electricity. And our generator is not installed yet damnit.

We're starting to get some gusts that are certainly out of the norm. Won't be long from now......

hang in there

Have you got a set of clippers? Give yourself a mohawk before the power goes out. Your neighbourhood will need your iron-fisted leadership in the coming days.

My focus is the state, not my neighborhood. I was thrown into the state emergency operations command when Katrina hit, and have been involved at the EOC since then. I'm merely a liaison officer, but that is a part of the command staff. Things sure have changed since Katrina. Because we've had so much experience with disasters, other states come here all the time to watch our process. The head staffers are military and that would be evident if you could watch it.

Get free electricity and stay in shape at the same time.

OK, so you'll be traveling. Paint a skull on the hood of your civic and glue some spears on. Do you own an intimidating mask?

Screw this crap.

It has shifted to the easy, Py, we won't get the worst of it. We're definitely getting weather though.

Racketh Phibes a couple times in here.

I said screw this crap. Now good day, sir.
