TD 13 is nothing anymore. National Hurricane Center issued its last update for it this morning, unless is reorganizes

TD 10 did the same thing ... and then its remnants later merged with another wave and became TD 12 and then Katrina...

Illegal immigration isn't about the hurricane. As you well know.

"CNN: Slidell hit hard, but no details."

The wait for news from Slidell is unnerving! But thanks for keeping us posted nevertheless.

Even a couple of rounds at the wheels on their W-D shopping carts would do the trick... ;)

I spent a few years in Picayune in grade school, I fondly remember that accent from the teachers, good people there. I fear the worst for them, as it appears the eye went right over it.

Fallen trees and downed power lines litter downtown Houma .. Houma Courier

HOUMA - A half hour before Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter allowed deputies back on parish streets, 911 Director Mark Boudreaux helped me secure a seat on the fire chief’s four-wheel-drive truck.

Boudreaux had an ulterior motive, for he wanted Bubba to transport him to the Communications District building on Capitol Boulevard so he could check damage. Luckily for emergency dispatchers, the building was OK. Oddly, the sound of croaking frogs was loader than the whistling wind.

But all along Hwy. 311, broken trees, fallen branches, tattered signs and disconnected power and cable lines littered Houma’s main thoroughfares. Perhaps the most damage in the city was downtown, where split hardwood and oak trees and shredded metal from tin roofs could be found on nearly every block. [end snip]

I didn't see it at first - but you're right. There wasa slight westerly jog as it neared NO and then it resumed its northerly route.
