SLAYER Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 beautiful morning been for a bike ride already, nice breeze, cool & no cars on the road. the first drizzle bands are just getting here and the gust are picking up. Looking like we will get the east part of the eye as is. piece of cake fellas. we will definately lose power for a period. will give updates until it goes.

rajncajn Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Definitely staying. Looks like they're expecting even lower surge for my area. Water is already coming up a little and we may get out and do a little sight-seeing while we still can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbimm Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Boring, windy a little wet. they made me take off of work for this.sssshhhit. Yeah so far not very impressive. One small tree went down and as I am typing the power went out. Will be shutting it all down until just before dark when I fire up the generator.

SLAYER Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 wind picking up, minimal rain so far. Radar looks worse than it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 now we are getting wind 30 with 45 gust, no rain but lots of wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBalla Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lots of wind here...and raining off and on. After Isaac is finished busting New Orleans, looks like Baton Rouge will be next. I have put out sand bags around our backdoor. Generator is running fine. Have window A/C out...we are ready to rock here. If we lose electricity...someone finish my DOH! draft...don't worry, you can't mess up that behemoth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 all good here so far. still got power, cable. wind is blowing like a bitch and tons of rain off and on. surge water isn't a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt770 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Woke up this morning and was surprised to see the eye still hovering along the coast. That's one slow-moving sumbitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Woke up this morning and was surprised to see the eye still hovering along the coast. That's one slow-moving sumbitch. Yea, that stuff is freaky. Being from the midwest I'm familiar with tornadoes but never seen a hurricane. People from other parts of the US seem to think tornadoes are too crazy to live around, but I'll take 1 hour of spooky weather (if that) over 2 day events of a 5 mile wide chit storm. Good luck to all you down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Glad to hear it hasn't been too bad so far. Stay safe everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ha, things have taken a turn for the worse to say the least. For a Cat 1 this is a summbich. Haven't had power since sometime last night. Finally fired up the Huddle generator and have my communications back up but little else. Took a walk this morning. Lots of downed trees and some flooding but only minor. Winds are kicking ass though. We look to be in for at least a whole day of this added to yesterdays weather. As feared Isaac appears to enjoy our fare city and has decided to stay a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to all you down there. We had a hurricane pass right over us when I was kid living in CT. Brutal winds for a while, trees down, flooding, then when the eye passed over it was sunny, birds chirping, surreal, then we got clobbered with the back end of the storm. We lost power for a week. Tornadoes scare me more, given that they come out of nowhere and can destroy your home in an instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, and the reporters standing outside bracing themselves against the wind, yelling into the microphone, struggling to collect their thoughts because their very lives are in jeopardy, stop it, just stop. It's been done to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Slow moving with a $hit ton of rain so I suppose that's how a Category 1 storm will maximize whatever damage it is going to do. Stay as dry as you can and be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, and the reporters standing outside bracing themselves against the wind, yelling into the microphone, struggling to collect their thoughts because their very lives are in jeopardy, stop it, just stop. It's been done to death. it's going to take one of them getting brained by a piece of flying debris before they stop. sounds like they're going to get more rain than Noah. let's hope those pumps and levees hold up. most of the damage and flooding I've heard about so far seems to be outside or new orleans and the immediate suburbs.
