Any one wanting to watch the news in New Orleans this is a good link to WWL tv. It is looking very bad.

We're ready, bring it on.

I'll gladly go a few days without power - just want to see New Orleans and Tulane spared.

I WAS going to evacuate to Alex and glad we changed our minds as I understand they expect a Cat 3 storm there. It is now considered an impact area instead of relief area.

I pray we made the right decision to stay home.

Jonesville is not to far from Alexandria and even Shreveport is expecting a Cat 1 winds, so I would expect Jonesvillie will receive some damaging winds and rain.

We are hunkering down here in Lake Charles. My daughter went to Arkansas. Most of our family and neighbors are still here.

God bless and and mercy on our state and Mississippi too.

We sure are worried about you folks and you are in our prayers.

Weather channel is now saying landfall is possible by 9am Monday. Much earlier than the 2pm landfall they have been saying before. Seems the storm has picked up a little speed.
