Amazingly calm in NO at the moment. Local news has it at 140 mph but predicting 150 at landfall. Small towns in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes will be wiped off the face of the Earth.

NO will of course get significant damage but levees should hold. Our amazingly incompetent Sewerage and Water Board is responsible for drainage. No one expects the pumps to fully work, so we’ll probably get lots of flooding from rainwater which, thanks to the surge, would be difficult to pump out even if the system worked perfectly.

On a Sunday morning like this, I’d be hearing lots of birds, especially those that inhabit Audubon Park, which is a block away. Not a single bird singing this morning. No traffic, no church bells, nothing. I forgot how much noise we make. Utterly serene and peaceful. All I hear is the inner noise caused by my slight case of tinnitus and the tapping sounds I make as I type this.

That’s definitely about to change soon.
