Another Storm Headed Our Way - 4th Time

Just when things were calming down, Tropical Storm Zeta appeared out of nowhere and was determined to visit Covington, Louisiana, passing through New Orleans on the way.  It is projected to reach minimum hurricane status for a while but will make landfall as a tropical storm dumping lots of water.  And, of course, wind.

The last three also had us in their sights but two went west and one went east.  Zeta appears to be more determined to visit us.

So we went into hurricane mode and put away everything outside that could fly, fall, tumble, roll, get too wet, bend, break, explode.  It didn't take long.  We had three practice sessions already this season.

Tomorrow should be an exciting day.

Looks Like We Dodged Another Hurricane

 Once again the early forecasts said Hurricane Delta was headed straight to the New Orleans area.  And could possibly grow to a Category 5.  So once again, the New Orleans area started preparing for another disaster, possibly as bad as Hurricane Katrina.

                                                We are just outside the orange into the yellow

But once again (for the third time this season) the projected path changed.  This time moving more toward the Southwest Louisiana coast.  Yes, the same area that was hit by Hurricane Laura six weeks ago.

We consider ourselves fortunate, of course, but our joy is stained with tears for those who will suffer again.

Even so, we're expecting lots of rain and some pretty strong wind gusts.  We'll know more tomorrow just how much, if any, damage there is.  I'm sure it will be minor compared to thousands of others in Delta's path.
