Not again. Two weeks straight there has been a Hurricane forecasted to hit Louisiana on Thursday. This is becoming monotenous.

This one looks like it may hit closer to my house here in TX. We didn't get a drop of rain from Izzy, but Lili looks like she has better aim.

This one is looking pretty rough. Catagory 4 with 145mph winds with gusts much higher.

I believe the last storm this strong was Camile.

I think its going to be a really bad storm. I hope you guys have somewhere safe to stay. I'm afraid it will probably be cat 5 by tomorrow.

Hold on guys...

another day off from school and football, but this one seems a lot meaner. Luckily it doesnt seem to be headed right at New Orleans, but if it does come towards us our city is screwed. Looks like the 944 will sleep on jack stands in the garage this weekend. Good luck to the rest of you Louisiana residents.

Good luck to you guys down there tomorrow - looks like a real doozy.

My Wife's folks are there, as well as my Dad's folks and a couple of Uncles. My Dad's Dad had 5.5 feet of standing water from Isidore - luckily he had moved his "rolling stock" (vintage Vette and Healey) to high ground. Says he still remembers Audrey (devastating Gulf storm from the 50's). He is in Gulf Shores currently.

I think they've all "left the building" as we are unable to reach them all day today. Some are located in Lake Charles, Pontchartrain, and Harvey.

Hold on tight! Please, be safe.
