Right now it's over Key West at 60 mph, and projected to landfall near New Orleans at the end of the week, maybe at Cat 2 strength, not good at all.
Not much today in my immediate area, just another rainy day, with short, heavy rain bursts, not much wind, no power outage.

We need to keep this in perspective.

Re: Here we go again
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:41 pmI no longer live in hurricane country, aka the Gulf Coast, but 6 years ago I did. We survived Katrina (I lived in South Mississippi at the time, fortunately far enough inland to avoid the 40+ foot storm surge). It was definitely an experience of a lifetime, something I would have never expected to see with my own eyes in a modern society.
Katrina knocked out power to 97% of the state of Mississippi, nearly half of Lousiana, and a chunk of Alabama. We were among the first in our area to get power back, two weeks after the storm. I knew many that did not receive power for two months. The power companies basically had to start from scratch, replacing nearly every pole and every wire.
My family still lives in Mississippi, and I have been watching this storm and keeping in touch with them. I also have many friends that live in the metro New Orleans area as well. Fortunately Isaac is appearing disorganized, and not likely to strengthen into the monster many feared.

Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:51 pmAmazing people live in these afflicted zones.
They lose everything, then just pick themselves up by their Bootstraps, and start all over again, with ne'er a complaint!
Something special!

I seem to recall that exactly the same thing happened during the previous Hurricane Katrina.
Probably a bad idea to bury Folks in a Floodplain!
