Getting a little nervous MCG?

----------------------------------
Frank "the man" P:
stress levels among the coast will be extremely high this weekend...Not mine. I'm a native Louisianian with the most laissez faire attitude in the world. I'm going to go to Grand Isle tonight to go drinking and play some cards while it's the ex's weekend with the kids. When I come home tomorrow night, I'll reassess the situation and see what things are looking like then. There's nothing I can do anyway since my house remains in ruins (and fortunately, the contractor isn't slated to start on it for another week anyway). There is some memorabilia in the attic which will still be there regardless of anything that would potentially happen since our house isn't really vulnerable to storm surges, only to flooding (and being above sea level, there would have to be 25' of water in the city in order for my attic to be threatened.
Where I live now is also 7' above sea level though 53 miles SW of New Orleans. We've got 17' of levee protection and I'm about 50 miles north of the Gulf. It hasn't flooded down this way since Hurricane Juan in 1985 (a rain event with piled up water backing up the bayous).
So rather than freak out, I'm just going to have me some good old southern fun and then see where we stand Saturday Night/Sunday.
