N.O. is going to get beat up again

[ensho]

all that high surf, the surging water, heavy rain and wind, and tornados.

and then the storm will move north and put down heavy rain that will go downstream to N.O.

3. I was noticing on one of the forecast maps that the area affected stretches

way into LA --

And I know that even if you're not in that little balloon boundary, you can STILL feel the effects.

The only good thing is that these days, we have warning that these are on the way. Doesn't eliminate the damage, but hopefully saves lives.

8. We are getting raging winds.

I sat outside early, early this morning, pray the huge oak next door doesn't try to come thru my roof. The wind here is vicious. We are getting a little rain, which is going UP! So, we are just hoping power stays intact.
