Still raining like crazy here by Ft.Lauderdale. This is one wet storm, Most of my yard is under water but my home has a high pad. My street always goes under. Thank God I had the forethought to make the property so high. My shop is another story. It's getting close.
My thought and prayers go to you guys that are gonna see this next. Stay safe.

Early Wednesday morning at landfall.
It's windier now than this morning. The rain bands come and go. Sun was out then rain. Nothing bad, less than regular summer thunderstorms. Weird.

In the aftermath and months after Katrina, several of the new 'starter-grade' apartments in the city where I worked were made into 'Section 8' housing and about 75% of the residents were 'refugees' from N.O., LA.
That particular area went from fairly quiet and peaceful to a 911 hot spot.
Lots of families that HAD been living there had to move to escape the new clientele.

3 more inches and its gonna flood.
Weird storm to say the least. I've never had to do prep. after a storm is supposed to be over.

I've been watching the "bands" and those of you on the east coast and central part of the state(Florida) have been getting a ton of rain. Here, in Tampa, just been cloudy all day. Bet we haven't even gotten an inch of rain, yet?!

Since these storms are a giant PIA and they never know where they're going till they get there they should be named after females only. Like it used to be.

CAJE,
Thanks for the link.
LOL!
That festival is something for sure.
I have worked back and forth in the French Quarter for 6 years.
Sodomites on the loose. Hurry get to the car and get out of there.

From a news source on the net - "...the airport, Superdome and convention center in New Orleans would not serve as emergency shelters like they did during Hurricane Katrina."
I would hope that nothing would ever again serve as an emergency shelter like the Superdome did during Katrina

I'm confused. Wasn't the Cone of Uncertainty that thing Maxwell Smart and the Chief used to get into on Get Smart?

While out in Houston Beaudreaux spotted a parked car with a bumper sticker that read "I MISS NEW ORLEANS." Hebert asked him what he did when he saw that and Beaudreaux replied "I busted out a window, stole the radio, and left a note saying I hope I made you feel better."

Heck, me and Caj (being lawyers and such) could do that
by ourselves, even on a bad day -- on a good day, we could convince that hurricane it was an Arctic cold front
Thanks a lot Charlie
Now I have to get off my lazy butt and do stuff
Nah, I flipped a coin
"Living Somewhere in the Cone of Uncertainty"
Well....you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out where you are at everyday....the same place you where at yesterday. You can be certain about that....

Problem wasn't wind or water -- it was the looters.
I intercepted quite a number of them -- reference:
"The Great Deluge" -- by Douglas Brinkley (pp 417 et seq)
Can't believe it will hit on Aug 29 (exactly 7 years after Katrina) -- it's like "deja vu all over again".
