I've got no intention of sitting in NOLA waiting on this thing, even if it turns out to be a big wuss. If that's the case ... well, I've got some extra water, beer & beenie weenies if y'all want some! Me, wifey & doggie will be hunkered in Gonzales.

The problem is unfortunetly its not going to be a wuss. If the GFS verifies, we are talking up to 36 hrs of hurricane force winds. It is predicting that once he comes ashore he is going to damn near stop! Then slowly drift NW. It's showing him not leaving SELA until Thursday!! The rain fall prediction is approaching 20".

Even though this is going to be a relatively weak hurricane, it is going to be a strengthing hurricane on landfall. This is going to make it much worse. During Katrina, new orleans experienced gust 90 to 100 mph. Big difference between gusts and sustained winds. Especially for the time frame we are looking at. It's going to be a ruff ride!
