At this time Texarkana - Shreveport, E TX area is NOT the area I’d want to evacuate to. I’m looking at Gustov to be 91W 24N @ 0100 CDT 1 Sep. I’d expect NO winds E @ <65kts.
By 0700 CDT 1 Sep, I’d expect Gustov to be near 92W 28N (NO winds E-ESE @ <50kts) and landfall would be near Lake Charles shortly after noon (NO winds SSE @ <45kts). Subsequent motion will be towards Texarkana - Shreveport, where winds will be much less of an issue; flooding from torrential rain will be the greatest threat in those areas (along with the ever present possible isolated tornados here or there).
FWIW : All Shelters in Shreveport/Bossier City will
be opened by tomorrow,,,
Pets will be sheltered at the Fair Grounds(Shreveport),,,
I was at the WallyWorld this evening and saw many
campers/trucks/etc. loaded down,,,(Folks from South La.),,,
They were restocking water/etc. as fast as they could,,,
I don’t think there will be any motels left by tomorrow,,,
Local Churches will be takin’ in the excess when the
shelters get 75% full,,,
