I have always heard nutria and SPAM is good, but it's a bitch to cook properly.
Did I hear the nutria are big enough to eat small pets?
SAT...huge blowup around both the "big wide eye" and the smaller one....who knows what this will look like by morning
I just did a search on the Marriott website for hotels in Nashville, Memphis, Birmingham, and Jackson MS.
Nashville and Birmingham have plenty of hotels with rooms. Memphis only has 2 Marriott properties with rooms still available. Jackson, MS was booked solid.
It's like Gunny R. Lee Ermy said once, "There ain't nothing Louisiana Hot Sauce can't fix."
Sure soudned it to me.
I see the inreased convection. She's still be moving due west too.
When I visited several years ago, my recollection is that they were having a competition for the best nutria recipe, since as you said they breed prodigiously.
Apparently, they have not caught on as a delicacy.
Check this link out, I guess they do eat the dang things:

It has not strenghtened much if any, but it is growing so big that any dry air intrusion may not weaken it much at this point. This is not a tiny system.
On the other hand, it means it takes longer to get organized, but it has plenty of time to grow stronger, and since its cycle would be slower than a tight, small storm, I am concerned this thing may be on the strengthening phase as it comes in or just entering an ERC....
amaing convection increase the past 30-40 minutes..put the vis in motion and infrared too
Yeah, those Pierre Part cajuns would probably eat them.
Camille, with monstrous winds of over 200 mph, should be very close to the top of any hurricane list, if not at the top.
based on the track overlay on the NHC sat link, it looks like it pretty much is following the NHC track.
Not good news.
We should start seeing a turn in maybe 3-4 hours.
I really don't expect traffic to get horrible until tomorrow, when it's already far too late to try to get out.
Weather Channel guy said folks in NO should evacuate by tonight because tomorrow morning would be "too late".
Thank you Torie. My blood pressure went up just looking at that abominable thing. Where is it anyway? One more place in the world that I do not want to visit.
The force of a storm is measured by SUSTAINED winds, not gusts. To get a idea of what sustained winds of 70 mph feel like, roll down your window while driving. Gusts push through with even higher. You can lean forward into 80 mph wind and not fall down.
This is going to be bad.
