Utility trucks staging in Starkville. They got some long hard hours ahead of them.

To head south?

Well they might dodge the Nuclear bomb. Th storm might go east of them now, seems to be heading north up 55.

Still pretty sporty here, not like being on the coast but still very windy. We are on the westward side of BR and the wind has hit at least 50 mph and we lost power just before 5 pm today. Generator running okay, will connect the portable AC tomorrow, too much wind to fool with it right now.

Yep. But dam it's going to be a long night and day for us on the coast. Saying 12 more inches of rain and continuous 30 MPH winds for most of Tom. Hopefully the surge isnt that bad. But then again we could be in New Orleans.

Definitely glad we?re not over there, hope for the best over that way. Last I looked outside the water is up but not too bad yet. I think high tide is around 2:30 am. I think it?s going to get a lot worse with the rain over the next few hours.

Surge didnt get as high as they expected here. But over the rain. Dam roof finally sprung a leak.

You all be safe. Looks like the flooding rain is heading all the way up my way in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Already have flood watches and wind advisories.

I live in Riverbend south of LSU, lost cell signal shortly after I posted. Power ad cell service came on this afternoon late. BR really dodged a bullet. NOLA is talking about 21 days before power is restored, wow.
