Hi. Isaac just made landfall. I live about 30 some miles west of New Orleans, and it looks like from how it’s tracking, it may come directly through my town. We’re fine. Winds have picked up quite a bit in past 30 min. No heavy downpours (yet) of rain. Landfall was projected to occur at 10 pm my time (so this is 2 1/2 hours earlier than expected).
We’ve got a generator in case power goes out, which it probably will from what energy rep. said. Got candles, flashlights, water.
But won’t be able to get online of course if/when power goes out.
Ty for checking. :))
Take care. I hope you and your family safely ride out this storm. good luck
I think “landfall” in this case was that spit of land at the end of the Mississippi delta. The radar has now filled in and it looks like the center will still be over water before final landfall is reached.
I hope you have accounted for the storm surge and remain safe.
Stay safe! Please check in with us when you can.
