Headed to Lake Charles, just before the Texas border.
Flat.
The bots are weird today...
You need some new threads.
dday9 - News was saying cat 4 was possible. Glad to hear you are moving inland. That many cats can wreak serious havoc.

Cat 5 would be better for networking, though.
The buttercup of solace.
Believe it or not, and I am not lying here when I say this, but I am using a cat 8 cable for my networking. Was a steal on Amazon :bigyello:

Cat 8?? I didn't know it went past 6. What happened to 7?
There can only be one more, though.
You know why 6 is afraid of 7? Because 7 8 (a8e) 9.
In all seriousness it looks like Houma and Thibodaux are taking a direct hit at a Cat 4. My wife’s parents live in Houma and grandparents live in Thibodaux. Hell we live 10 miles east of Houma.
I’m incredibly nervous because her family stayed and plus I don’t know if my friends and I will have a home to come back to on Monday. My family is still rebuilding from Laura last year and they’re saying that this one will be just as strong as Betsy.
I love where I live, and I know that this is always a risk, but it is still scary nonetheless. Especially as the head of the house; it’s a different dynamic when you’re a teenager. But, lache pas la patate.
Scratch that. The 10PM update show my town taking a direct hit.
let's hope that your Home won't take a direct hit
That's one of the things I didn't like about living in the Florida Keys. We'd start putting pins in a map as soon as a storm was named. If it got into a certain slot, then it was going to hit us. You always have to be at least somewhat ready to go, though not at a moments notice.
Storms gotten quite a bit stronger, too. It's not looking good.
You just like Louisiana because all the gals come to visit: Katrina, Laura, Betsy, Ira...
In France, they announce it as a cat 4 and compare it to Katrina
I just got some pictures of my house with the outer eye wall hitting and some shingles have lifted as well as some of the flashing.
Apparently Ida developed two eyes, so we haven’t gotten to the inner (stronger) eye yet.

This is the front of my house right now.
