Gulf Storm Ida

[Snuby642]

So talking to my buddy in Houma Louisiana looking like ground zero.

Was still at work Friday midday but said his preps were in place and in usual fashion riding it out.

Ida not welcome.

 

[37L1]

So is the next one going to be called Hurricane Joe?

Talk about a disaster. . .

 

[Snuby642]

Well hit 75 mph and turned hurricane allready.

On a lighter note.
We were discussing my birthday supper this evening with my son to host. He asked what I wanted and I said shrimp since it was on sale and cheaper than beef at the moment.

My loving wife said it was due to the storm blowing them in closer to the beach.

 

[Expert684]

I'm In Broussard, La., I hope it goes a little more east! Fuck up my house twice last year. Just minor stuff, but you can't find anyone or anything to fix it . I got food, water, fuel and plenty of ammo! Good luck to everyone else!

 

[Snuby642]

You guys be sure to tie the boat to the house and an ax in the house.

 

[AHorn]

Looks like things are going to get a little western down there. I'll be headed down to red stick tomorrow to see what's going on. Pretty logical, most people leaving and I am headed into it. Gotta keep the railroad running, or get it back up ASAP afterwards. Hope everybody is prepared!

 

[Snuby642]

Hope you got company gas on the yard cause it will be used up in the towns.

 

[Snuby642]

Late nite update looks bad for Houma, Grey and Schriever La.
Don't think anyone expected this strong of a storm.

A lot of smaller towns like Dulack and Cocodri are screwed bad as they are barely dry at all on a high tide.

I can see boats on the Intercoastal from my friends house in Houma .

Lafourche and Terrebonne Parrish are both now under mandatory evacuation orders .

I hope they will get out but they normally stay, cat 3 maybe 4 sounds bad this time.

 

[acudaowner]

now that's a man that is prepared the pic of the fridge hats off to that gentle man or gentle lady .

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

Well that escalated quickly....

You guys South of I-10 stay safe!!

Anniversary of Katrina looking to be spent at the mercy of Ida.

Sincerely,
Theis

O yea.

 

[memtb]

It certainly appears that SE La. is gonna get hammered! BR may see a pretty powerful storm. My kids, grandkids, and great grandkids all live just north of BR. They may witness one of the most powerful storms to give BR a direct hit in many years. I remember Betsy quite well, even though I was fairly young at the time!

Thoughts and Prayers are with all in the region......they’ve had much more than their share of storms in recent years! memtb

 

[Billdoe708]

Stay safe.

Shoveling snow ain't all bad

 

[Snuby642]

Just talked to the Houma crew.
As normal they are staying.

What gets me is the inability of the damn governor to initiate contra flow to get people out that want to evac.

Can not one single facet of government ever get things done?

The Cajun navy will be buisy as hell soon.

The electric company that I retired from is probably sending people down there. Probably be there when the storm hits. Makes perfect sense...............

I spent about 30 days down there when Katrina hit. Kinds mis it and kinda don't!

It sounds like you guys that are there are prepared. Wishing you the best.

Unfortunate that it will make land fall at dusk and beat the shit out of Louisiana during the dark of night. I hate it when you can hear your house being torn apart one board at a time.... But, there is that experience of walking out into the eye at 2 am and see the moon and stars before it passes and the wind is worse on the back side...

 

[sirhrmechanic]

I know at least one SH Member of the Round Table who is right in the bullseye... and he is busy selflessly wishing other folks to stay safe.

Brothers... stay safe in this one.

It seems as though they always come in at night, or maybe you just remember the ones that come during the night! memtb

When we first moved to South Louisiana from MS and heard Cajun French and the Parrish and town names on TV, my daughter said “we don’t live in America anymore.”
We are about 20 miles north of Baton Rouge - I just got all the outdoor furniture moved where it won’t blow around, will change the generator oil tomorrow and finish securing items. I keep Gas cans full starting mid summer and run the generator every month or two in the summer. Gas doesn’t go bad since the lawnmower and UTV use it.
we drove back from the daughters house in Tampa last night to avoid evacuation traffic - got home a 2am. The traffic going towards Alabama from New Orleans on I 10 at midnight was impressive!
We live in a neighborhood with old pecan trees so it could be bad. But now that the parish sheriff lives on our street we tend to get power back quicker.
if you have ever been to the LA coast you can appreciate how bad this can be.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

I was in NO after Katrina... up in the Garden District. Then helping out USBP and some other federales with prisoners. It was a shitshow.... and it was totally engineered by democrats to offer them a way to attack George Bush and destroy the 2006 elections... And, of course, let's add to that Schumer's attack on mortgages that destroyed the economy in fall 2008 to put in Commie Obama.

Yeah... never let a crisis go to waste.

BTW... Gun Confiscations was a bunch of BS in NO. We had better things to do.

Sirhr

PS. Generators, freezers full of Omaha Steaks and no ROE to keep shitwads out of the 'rich' neighborhoods... was kind of fun. When SHTF a bunch of us went off to support CBP and others who were holding federal prisoners. Pro Tip, you can control a lot of prisoners sitting on a bridge really easy if you drop in a few cases of beer... and let them each have a couple of Cervesa's and lots of water and burritos and Doritos... and let them know that they will just be fine if they comply. And will be gator shit if they don't. Because... noone was keeping track of their asses. Disappear was easy.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

PS. Most disgusting thing in Katrina was NOPD scumbags who were staying in downtown (Hilton?) I think... and hit a couple of jewelers and looted Rolex's, jewels, gold, etc. during the height of the storm. Then piled all the loot into their rooms to wait out the storms.

CBP hit their asses. While some folks covered for CBP. Which caught the 'police' looting the high end stores.

I don't think any got convicted. But there were hotel rooms with NOPD scumbags and 300 Rolex's and boxes in them.

Welcome to Democratic-controlled "America."

I know your area well. Just talked to my son who lives in St Francisville.. He is on his way to work tonight at EXXON... He said traffic going north and west on the Interstates was gridlocked.... I remember those years... LOL

 

[pmclaine]

Who is that troll in the press briefing stating....

"There is no way this storm can weaken but there is always the possibility it will get stronger"

Who says that shit in an emergency brief?

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

Looks like now they calling for it to do a slight shift towards the East.....

Will see what happens on the Northshore area.

That would put you around Zachary or maybe The Plains? memtb

 

[10ring'r]

PLease, please, stay safe out there folks! Mac

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Have Family in Slidell and the Red Stick, friends in Covington... they know the drill.

 

[Devildog]

Hope it’s down graded before hitting land. If not so much for lumber, material prices and availability. Needless to say I hope everyone in the path stays safe.

 

[ccasanova]

Yeah @THEIS looks like it’s turning right towards us. Stay safe brother. Holler if you need something. Northshore was a freaking wreck after Katrina. Lost 150+ mature oak trees in my yard alone. Being such a rural area, our damage and disruption comes primarily from down trees. We got the tractors, skid steer and chainsaws fueled up…waiting. This will be my kids first big storm, should be interesting. Hopefully not too interesting though. Prayers for all in the area.

 

[powdahound76]

Just spent an hour on the phone with my good friend in Houma.
his wife and kids are in Houston, he is at home.
he was raised there and is well prepared. And still a tad nervous.

My old GF aunt is an old nun living in Abita Springs.
she has many friends around, but no kin who can actually do anything.

Prayers for all of you!!

 

[NoDopes]

Making landfall just after sunrise is the lowest temperature of the day, and only mid-tide levels I guess is a little good news. City of NO surge estimated 8-12ft and another 1ft of rain.
Good luck y'all.

 

[NH4X]

I'm 4 hrs from La. coast line ,lots of rain and possible tornadoes predicted here.Looks like today will be my last day combining for a while . Need the down time to fix stuff. I'm not looking forward to having to get downed corn up off the ground after this blows through. I'm glad the above is all I have to be concerned about compared to the people to the south of me. Gonna be ruff for a lot of folks. Possible upgrade to Cat. 5 ,haven't heard weather the last hour, may be a 5 now.

 

[pmclaine]

If the government had only time to think of a solution since 2005.........


We are Bangladesh by all metrics.........

Im guessing we are going to see some smart individuals with means that invested and thier houses are going to be little islands of dry protected by some private entity invention that though costly.....will work better as an extra insurance policy and at probably just over the cost of a rider to pay you for losses.

 

[jhunter]

Hurricane Michael Oct 2018 looks similar with that giant eye and tight rain bands

Hi,

I have never seen what appears to be so many unprepared people, lol....well; I have but they were in 3rd world countries.
The Dollar store across from the shop was so busy you would have thought it was black friday sale or some shit...
THIS morning people were waiting in the parking lot 2 hours before it opened...

Damn, you have some nice trees out in the front of your property, hope you all do not loose too many of them!!

Sincerely,
Theis

A snap shot of why approximately 70 to 80% of Americans would die in the advent of a 1 year or longer shtf scenario! While I certainly do not believe in evolution.....Darwin had some valid points! memtb

My previous post may have been misunderstood.
I'll try to be more eloquent.

The "news" blabbing like a Chatty Kathy pulling her own string is completely fucking maddening.
Give us the fucking news. Period.
We can even read radar a little bit.
Standing in ankle deep water reporting "live on the scene" has become overbearing.
You aren't helping "save people " in fact quite the opposite.

We know its gonna be bad....or not. We don't need a weatherman in a slicker and an umbrella to tell us that.

My prayers are with Louisianans today.

 

[Snuby642]

Noon report from family in Houma.
Rain wind starting up, outer band just hitting

Still had power.

The weather station feed from the Houma airport has been offline since midnite.
NWS report was 150mph winds sustained at 11AM just offshore.

 

[powdahound76]

I cant post em, but just got videos from my buddy in Houma.
says it is starting to blow with seriousness.

Looks pretty wild

In natural disasters I rely on a Hand Held Ham Radio that also scans public safety channels, much better up to date information than the talking heads on TV and Radio. Prayers for Louisiana.

 

[roostercogburn98]

Good luck and Godspeed. Cat4 is not a joke. Be safe all

 

[Expert684]

Local news reported a small airport along the coast clocked a wind gust: 153 mph! Wow!
Oh, today is also the 16 year anniversary of Katrina.

 

[bmash]

That would put you around Zachary or maybe The Plains? memtb

Yep

 

[Snuby642]

6:30 pm Houma still has 80 mph winds. Eye passed to the east side on the radar I saw. Not sure how thick the eyewall strenght winds were. I did see 100 reported there.
Anything east of there got full bore.

Won't bother trying to contact anyone today (sucks).

Our president was on "trying" to read a one paragraph script. Geeze

 

[memtb]

Yep

Born and raised in Zachary, lived in the Plains for a few years! My kids, grandkids, and great grandkids live in Zachary!

As of now, things have been pretty quiet in Zachary.....hope it stays that way! memtb
