Louisiana, post your conditions

I live in northern Terrebonne Parish. Just north of Houma. I should be asleep right now. But, the wind has really started to pick up. I heard it howling through the trees. The rain just started to fall. I got to work from 12-9 today and I dread driving in this.

Cloudy here, not much wind to speak of, but that will change later, I know. I'm west of the city so I'm not expecting anything too bad.

POURING. First band yellow tropical downfall. The street isn't filling up yet, but I'd give it another 5 minutes. UHG. This is gonna be a big rainmaker if the convection keeps firing. And that goes for west of here maybe all the way to W FL.

Man the pirogues!

Rain has stopped. Now just overcast and breezy. If this thing goes anywhere to the east of us, even just a tad, our conditions should improve. And we may not get much more than this.

The Soup Bowl is going to be filled up real soon

I think New Orleans may end up running into some problems by time for rush hour. That's some moisture!!!

Luckily, I already had the day off. Would not want to be stuck in the CBD with this mess.
