It's strengthening as they predicted, and even tho it moves just to the west of NOLA metro, that means we are on the dirty side of the storm... And it's a HUGE storm, kinda like Katrina The good news for us in NOLA is we have much better storm flood level protections because what they improved since Katrina But it's gonna be a large mess, just due to the size of the storm Hurricane Camille in 1969 had 190 MPH winds when it hit MS not too far from NOLA, but it was a small concentrated storm... it seems we are getting larger storms over the years... gee, what could be the cause??

ron, this reads like the hurricane code ..... "The statement warned of "structural damage to buildings, with many washing away" as well as winds that could bring "widespread power and communication outages." Flooding rains could cause "numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out" along with "some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed away." Hurricane conditions are likely in areas along the northern Gulf Coast beginning Sunday, with tropical storm conditions expected to begin by late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. These conditions will spread inland over portions of Louisiana and Mississippi Sunday night and Monday."
