tropical storm report from new orleans 8 am cdt

[rampart]

strong wind gusts upsetting plants and garbage cans. heavy rain.

my block usually loses power first - still on.

no street flooding near me yet.

we are well stocked on food and water, the cats want me to turn off the rain so they can go out.

nearby, in the french quarter, southern decadance proceeds as (abnormally) normal.

the sooner this thing starts to move, the better.

1. It's raining, what better reason to go eating & drinking?

We've been stuck in one of the heavy rain bands all morning, but we don't have the fun options of a New Orleans.

3. Should be great King fishing at the Pier.

Heard one report suggesting not as much rain as expected. Hope it stays that way. :grouphug:
