Wishing inmates in the path of Laura the best of luck and prayers. Keep RDP advised when you can.
Not to make light of this but in '69 we followed Hurricane Camille into Buras, LA where a 22' wall of water passed over the Mississippi delta. Can't begin to describe the destruction.Will probably be catastrophic for Cameron and Lake Charles, La tonight. The gulf coast been through many of these over the years, but I have never heard of one with a very possible 20' storm surge.
wild video.
You are right, it's going to be really bad out that way when the sun comes up.Will probably be catastrophic for Cameron and Lake Charles, La tonight. The gulf coast been through many of these over the years, but I have never heard of one with a very possible 20' storm surge.
If you are riding it out......You are the man!!!! You can't have been spared a lot. You aren't that far from the eye. Plus you are on the dirty side of it. Please be safe over there and hope you make it through without a lot of damage.Thank you. We're in the Lafayette area and have been spared what Cameron/Lake Charles are seeing (150 w/185 gusts) , we are getting heavy rain and wind with constant tornado warnings for the last 2-3 hours. We probably have at least another 3-4 hours before we start calming down. We have a lot of trees which can be a blessing and a curse as for as wind goes at ground level. Good luck to anyone else down here !

Thank yall for thinking of us. We just got power and internet back a short time ago, we are very lucky considering.any updates ? Hope you and yours are all safe.
Yes, it was projected to be a hell of a lot worse, it's always a little hard to separate the hype from the actual threat.Luckily it was a fast mover so I don’t the ocean surge was able to do what the weather experts thought. Lots of damage but from what I’m seeing could have been way worse.
