Lordy, I checked the zone forecasts for the area around the projected landfall area and they were saying the heat indices could reach 100 degrees. I find that almost impossible, given my college coursework and NWS spotter training in meteorology. I can't even wrap my head around the thermo, atmospheric, and hydrodynamics of what it would take to support the two conditions simultaneously. Can you imagine a triple digit heat index and 110 MPH+ sustained winds? It would be like being thrown into a convection oven. It truly is unsurvivable conditions if you stay.

"Watching the Weather Channel’s webcam in Cameron La, I can’t but help wonder if there are any people there who decided to ride it out?"

I remember when Hurricane Audrey hit Cameron in 1957...416 died.

Weather Channel said oil refineries in Lake Charles were evacuated. Do you think they have skeleton crew at them for emergencies?

Of course they do and emergency stand by contractors as well.

The two storm chasers escaped their bad situation down at Holly Beach/Cameron. Details sketchy.

Dear God, Protect them throughout the night, give your Holy Angels watch over them, guide and defend all first responders. Help all those working in the shelters, And all those taking shelter.

Amen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh Dear Father please perform a miracle and stop this storm from even going ashore.

It just isn’t the same watching Jeff P. without the blue shed.

Didn’t the roof end up (finally) blowing off of that shed? Was it a drive in car wash?

I can’t remember.
