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

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

Commenting about how sweet Miss Daisy is so she gets more attention. <3 Stay safe!

Oh believe me she's getting a ton of attention right now. But I'll make sure she gets a treat with your name on it

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

What's a feeder band?
crwoosley
A hurricane moves in a spiral. The outside arms of the spiral are called feeder bands. You'll get rain and then no rain
crwoosley
As they pass over you
KrankyKidney
Thanks!
pendrin
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.
pendrin
New Orleans, Slidell, and Hammond look like they are getting hit hard right now
crwoosley
That looks like what we're getting
pendrin
Glad your safe still
