I have no idea what I did when I tried to post a link from that thread to you and it did something weird, so this time I'm not attempting a link - just the thread title.
Please keep us informed!
Thanks. I will. Toward that end... I'm chatting still with friends in Houma (the stubborn ones) and am told that the winds haven't pick up yet. But, looking at the satellite they should be getting hurricane winds in just minutes.
That's always driven people crazy when I tell them I'm from "south of New Orleans." The reaction is always the same, "there ain't nothing south of New Orleans." Actually, Houma is south-southwest of New Orleans and it looks like they'll be getting the storm's outer bands here soon.
