I grew up in the 60s and 70s in Lake Charles.

Watching Laura moving in with wind gusts now 128 and it's not even past the eyewall. It's a Cat4 now, nearly Cat5.

100,000+ without power.

Storm surge predicted at 9 feet in Lake Charles (so it'll flood your second floor apartment), possibly 20 feet in Cameron near the coast, plus there's all the sewerage and wildlife in the water. Horribly dangerous.

My brother's place was on 4 foot pillars, so it's certainly gonna be gone. (He's in FL and safe)

This is gonna be extraordinarily bad.

glad for that

hopefully he'll get lucky with his home

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on the updates. Lots of people did not leave, I think there are going to be a significant number of deaths.

Katrina had the same problem: 'Oh, we've been through dozens of hurricanes, we can handle it.'

Let's hope it's not as bad as I'm afraid it is.

I have (ex) relatives in Greenville and Montgomery, they could get hit pretty hard too.

In recent years a lot of people seem to base whether or not they'll evacuate purely on the Category rating - which is primarily wind speeds - and ignore the rain and surge predictions. Those are a lot of the folks who drown in flash floods or get their cars washed away in overflowing streams and rivers. That happened in NC to some extent a few weeks ago. Still, this storm is at Category 4 - I wouldn't have been sticking around.

if a person is at risk

that person should have a plan, especially if responsible for other people

preferably with more than one option

they're easy to find online
