Skys getting darker here in BR. I am wondering if we are going to get any effects at all though. It looks like its taking a little jog north, and there is not much on the western side of this system.

[Gufler]

Thank you for your post people in the effected areas.

[windnrain]

Winds blowing maybe 20 mph right now.

And no problem Gufler!

My dad just called from Larose... Its bad there. Powers out, constant 50+ mph wind, driving rain, and trees snapping.

From Mobile: no rain right now, but wind gusts are getting stronger and more frequent (which is knocking pine cones onto neighbors' shed roofs- what a jarring sound!). Local news is reporting water covering the Causeway and up in parking lots of the restaurants. Pictures posted on WKRG's and Fox10 News' Facebook pages show a very angry Gulf pounding the piers at Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and the Pensacola area.

Praying for all in Isaac's path tonight in LA, MS, and the entire No. Gulf coast. Here's a prayer I like.

Reminder: The Causeway across Mobile Bay is closed. Parts of it are under water and the police *will* stop you.

is there another page that ppl are posting OBS.. this seems inactive?

[Janie2006]

Post away, mate. Usually it's just one or two people that are scanning the NWS forecast offices looking at these things. Most peeps are discussing the shape of Isaac as he makes another landfall. So, go for it. I'm not getting a lot of SPC reports out of SE Louisiana right now. You're in a perfect position to post some helpful obs.

[windnrain]

Mild wind in BR... couds and sunset look cool.

In Larose, about 30 minutes north of grand isle, that BIG band is just hitting them... my mom says the wind is rough.

[windnrain]

Wow, that's one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen.

[windnrain]

Just updated my location btw. I am in Baton ROuge.

Seriously... what a sunset. I saw the disk of the band come through, with the sun shining underneath.

[windnrain]

Mississippi river is overtopping levee in venice.
