Go Blue!! Michigan all the way even though we suck usually!

Was flooding pretty bad around Harrisburg? Seems like a lot of rain.

Many around here do not know how bad it is down south so every now and then I like to keep it fresh as that part of our country is suffering.   OT though.  So it was less a joke and more a reality comment that despite all the rain, we do not have it bad here right now. 

Gotcha and no worries lol we’re not uptight like other subgroups. Just a nice moderate rain all day here 1.89 so far.

It might be covid? 

Don’t get the joke?

New Orleans may be out of heaviest of rain now, pivot seems to put band staying East.

So far no reports of New Orleans itself filling with water. Just power out and wind damage. 

Luckily they seem to be fairing far better that outskirts and suburbs.

And it looks like bands pivoting in from gulf too.

Band back building into NO somewhat.

Focus shifts East to feeder bands, rain back edge approaching New Orleans from south and west.

Winds out of the SW in Laplace should help push the lake water out.

Yeah, wind shift just took place. Rain looks to be tapering down in NO proper soon, though Slidell and East look bad.

Just now, mob1 said:

Flooding could also be very bad for areas who have feeder bands training over them all night. Slidell LA for example. 

Yeah looks like New Orleans is about to get out of rain but areas East could be in them for long long duration.

Am I too hopeful or does it look like rain may lessen in couple hours around NO?

You sweating yet? I know you’re reading all the posts about catastrophic power failures…

I’m wrong for sure….I’ll own it.

They better work, rainfall rates will be crazy for hours.

I have to believe that the pumps have their own generators 

They do I’ve been reading up on them, but no guarantee they work properly.

Looks like building was already missing roof and severely compromised.

Actually I expect, based on eye position and radar, downtown NO has indeed already seen the worst.

Yeah, it’s probably seeing the worst right around now for next couple hours.

Finally looking like a hurricane thats made landfall, but many, many hours after doing so. Definitely a strong one.

Thanks  bud...back attcha...

Studying these things with passion over a good chunk of my 53 years, I guess has value...ie...being an old fart!!

Kudos LEK, I fall into the realm of “weenie enthusiast” but reading your stuff always is a pleasure and it’s amazing to see how close you come so often.
