Lots of new mudholes to ride in

[Joe Breaux]

well, tomorrow is the big day.. Cat 4 hurricane Ida is coming to visit.. projected to  pass right over my place at Whiskey Bay.. with 140+ MPH WINDS .. The devastation will be shocking..  

[T-boss 410]

Secure everything and brace yourself. 

We could send Kamala down there to help you 😎

[Joe Breaux]

 From what I hear she blows harder than IDA 

[T-boss 410]

Then she should be a welcome addition to the men in Louisiana!

[Joe Breaux]

they say she spreads easier than warm butter 

[T-boss 410]

Well, there ya go! 

[Travis]

Stay safe Joe!  and don't hop in your Massimo to evacuate, you may get stranded  

[Joe Breaux]

thanks buddy.. I just watched the latest track predictions and its wobbled slightly more east .. Maybe we will only get 90-100 mph wind.. We can survive that I think. We shall see by Monday Morning when the  bitch is done

Hey, I heard that 😉

[Travis]

Dang, Ida's almost a Cat 5.............

[Joe Breaux]

yeah, 155 mph winds.. its a mean bitch.  should be named Kamala, blowing that hard.. Good news for us is that its wobbled east about 50 mile away from a direct hit on us.. 

[T-boss 410]

Will you still get some serious weather? Looks like a big storm.

[Joe Breaux]

oh yeah, probably 70-80 mph wind and 3-7 inches of rain .. and of course the power will be off for 2-3 days.. we do have a generator though and plenty beer 

[Travis]

Got some beautiful weather here thanks to the storm, sunny, 92°  with 58% humidity and a 8MPH wind.

[TapBoss]

Hope all is well, and the beer is still cold!

[Joe Breaux]

BOY, we dodged a bullet.. at the last minute it hooked north.. we got minimal damage and brief power outages.. Dont know yet about my place at Whiskey Bay. its 50 miles closer to where EYE passed.   New Orleans was DEVASTATED!  20 inches of rain and 150mph winds .. It looks like Afghanistan  after a Biden withdrawal

[Travis]

glad to hear you had minimal effects!

In 2008, the eye of Ike went right over us... kind of neat looking up seeing  a column of clouds and clear, sunshine right above you....

[Joe Breaux]

yeah.. Been there done that. a couple times . Its weird ..it all stops for half hour then reverses wind direction..   I ve been thru a lot of these growing up here.. It much safer if you dont live near Bayous, creeks, rivers or coastline. Its unbelievable to see water rise 10-15 feet in just minutes . I have friends that live in Belle Chase..only 300 yards from Mississippi River Levee,  Been rescued  by helicopter OFF THIER ROOF three times now.. I keep asking...WHY DONT YOU LEAVE?  But they refuse
