Sally is coming to visit.

[Randy]

Randy new track is shifting your way toward the east, ...plus she is now a Cat 2 and in good condition to go to a Cat 3. Right now the eye is west from you, but if the track changes again she may hit you full on. Hope you got the place locked down. I will be listening to this one from the Mobile area Iheart radio later. Stay safe!!! Looks like the NAM supercomputer is one right on the tracking of this one. And Levi right again about the darn thing being pushed east.

We are going to get slapped pretty good by Sally. Mobile it self is about 45 miles north of the gulf. We are looking at 85 to 100 mph winds and 15 to 20 + inches of rain. But things are changing with every advisory. Move East again at the 10 pm guess. Putting use in the middle of the cone now. We have done all we can. Now it’s just riding this pony until it stops bucking.

Well at moving 3 miles an hour and arrival time getting pushed back....hopeful the track keeps on moving east and will miss you altogether. That is what I am hoping for, this is part that drains a person the wait and sees????....drags on and on and on. Prayers coming your way although.

Thanks for the good thoughts Di. Having been though these things for the last 30 + year I have learned to do all the prep I can and then try to stay busy doing something to enjoy the rest of the day. I turn the TV off or watch a move. Checking on the storm when a update is scheduled. I have friends that sit watching hour after hour all the this could happen Weather channel hacks. If you are as ready as you can be and help you neighbors then nothing els to do about it until it happens. In a few weeks it will be a bad memory. Until the next one. Just life on the gulf coast.

Prayers go out to anyone in her path,be safe and we hope she will turn around and go back were she came from.

Most of Louisiana is to the West of the storm and it looks, so far, as if it won't affect us. Randy, as he has said, is going to get hammered with the wind and rain. Our St. Barnard Parish, which is East of the M. River, was already getting lots of storm surge yesterday, and is getting more as the storm continues - the NE winds are pushing the gulf water up into Lake Borgne. If it shifts more to the East, the Florida area around Pensacola and Destin will get it even worse. And, latest report this morning says it's now stalled and barely moving...

Wind is picking up 20 25 mph Sustained. Rain bands not bad yet. Only about 13/4 so far today. Heavy rain will start in a few hours. Storm moving more East with each update, so far. We could be on the west side by the time it comes a shore but will most likely still have 15+inches of rain and heavy winds. Power outages already in the south part of the county. Good chance we will loose power by tonight. Depending on what trees fall where. My wife’s office is in down town Mobile. If the surge stays at 5 to 7 ft. They could have a foot or so of water in the building. With surge and runoff from heavy rain. Katrina had a 11+ foot surge plus high tide and rain they had 7 ft of water in her office. Soggy carpets.
