Never had one hit when we lived in Zachary just north of Baton Rouge. Can’t imagine riding out a storm like this. Hope y’all stay safe down there.

Just caught the tail end of Biden's press conference at FEMA headquarters. Very last words.....I'm not supposed to take any questions, but......

[Reporter] What about Afghanistan? [Reporter]

[Joe] I'm not going to talk about that. [Joe}

Then he grabs his clipboard with his notes and starts walking one way, then turns around, takes a few steps the other way......he really has no idea what he's supposed to do. I blame his handlers, for not practicing with him more, maybe putting taped arrows on the floor to follow, etc.

I wish he would just screw up and tell us who is really running the government via his earpiece, and who wrote his notes for him.

He just did a live bit bracing himself against the wind, but just a few feet behind him is some dude casually walking around and then did cart wheels.

I remember a quote from years ago about Hurricanes and tornadoes.. It's not that the wind is blowing... It's what the wind is blowing.

You are a very wise man. But what are you going to drink the second week the power is out?

Thousands without power for weeks.

Many states sent trucks, crews, and supplies to restore power....they sent them immediately to help.


Gov. Jon Bel Edwards turned most of those crews away at the state line, stating lack of COVID compliance.


Because we know those power line workers are going to want to mingle and socialize in a town with no power, demolished homes, no A/C in the blistering humid heat, and party in the tent cities.
Common sense and logic escapes many people.

Stay safe Strats and all you in the path of the storm. Prayers for all of you.

I'm good.
There are others down in the coastal areas south of NOLA wont be so lucky.
Hopefully Bayou Country is far enough East to not sustain damage, I think Zeek is OK.
