Heads Up Coastal Lousianians

Just a friendly reminder to keep your eye on the Gulf, My buddy is a meteorologist for Continental airlines and this one has him a bit worried.
It still have many variables to get here but just have a plan by Sunday. All up in the air -

The gulf is warm and it has a lot of room to become a VERY strong storm.

and this one has him a bit worried. those are the exact words of my husband last night. He scared the dickens out of me...stating the worst case scenarios. Started preparations today.

Never to early to start preparing. Some of us have seen what they can do.

I will never ride another one out after the last one. No Gas, No Power, Freeways closed, the list goes on.

We've got our eyes open no doubt, probably head up to Shreveport Friday evening/early Saturday morning at the latest.
