This may not seem like a lot to you, but listen to the wind in these videos. It shows you that it's picking up. Baton Rouge doesn't normally get wind like this.

As you can see we have a lot of old growth trees here, and those trees are going to begin to drop branches and eventually snap because of the wind. That's what's going to cause the loss of power and the damage to people's homes more than likely

We're about an hour away from any real activity. I'll update when we start getting better stuff. But this just goes to show you that the calm before the storm is a literal thing

Miss Daisy is very happy. She's getting lots of attention. Every time an imgurian mentions her she gets a little extra attention in a treat. So she's quite well fed right now.

Peace and safety

Pretty good. I have a limited bandwidth right now and so I haven't been able to post updates. But so far it hasn't been as bad as we thought

UPDATE: I got a text from @crwoosley a couple minutes ago. Everybody is safe, including Miss Daisy, just very limited service and no power.

I have people in south Lafourche. The hospital's lost its roof, and part of the Golden Meadow levee has failed. I've had no communication.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Communication in that part of the world goes out pretty easily. If you have internet access you might want to get online and look for some

Ham radio clubs in that area. They can give you some updates

What's a feeder band?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

A hurricane moves in a spiral. The outside arms of the spiral are called feeder bands. You'll get rain and then no rain

Looks like it’s going to curve east of you so you might be lucky and just get the heavy rains of the west edge along with the winds.
