MC Horoscope Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I thought this might be a place for friends of Louisiana to share information about this dangerous storm. I am fearful of this one. Would this go better under History, Current Events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Horoscope Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 If in the next few days you hear the names of some of these towns, that's where I am from originally and still have relatives: Lafayette, Abbeville, Kaplan. If you hear about Vermilion Bay, that's a body of water ~20 miles due south of my home town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcandohio Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I’m back in New Orleans (Metairie). So far, Barry’s been a non-event for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogprince Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 For Orleans Parish, at least backatown, it is also a non event thus far; Wednesday on the other hand... 1594C33E-3EA5-4C15-9DC8-9E05E56360FB.mp4 5B0ED31C-9F70-46EC-AFC5-AFA917292614.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Horoscope Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 So far from what I have seen on TV the coverage is focusing on the area east of my family but still west of NOLA. St. Mary Parish, Morgan City, Terrebonne Parish, Grand Isle, Lafourche Parish, Thibodeaux, Houma. Heading toward inundating Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish. You might hear about St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, and Iberville parishes coming up. Even if the Mississippi isn't overtopped there are many other rivers susceptible to flooding. It's a wet state; what can I say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogprince Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 It’s pretty bad in Terrebone and Lafourche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcandohio Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 New Orleans metro area dodged a bullet. Light rain only. More of the same for today (Sunday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Horoscope Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Lafayette and Vermilion parishes also dodged but it's bad in Iberia and St. Mary parishes. Mercifully this thing moved inland faster than expected, but it's really Mississippi taking a beating from Hattiesburg to Meridian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
