Hurricane Gustav

[TreeFrog]

I tried to post some pictures of Hurricane Eloise. Also have a movie (old family 8mm now on cd). Maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow. It shows Lake Tresca and Eastern Lake joined. Water going through where now there is a house on the corner of SanRoy.

Where is/was Lake Tresca?

I am a South Walton resident living this summer in the Floida Keys. Tonight we have had large bands of severe weather associated with Hurricane Gustav. We have had 3 Tornado Warnings in the last 2 hours. I cannot even imagine what the poor folks in the path of this incredible storm will go through. I feel so sorry for them. My thoughts and prayers will be with them. I am very thankful that South Walton Beach is not in the storms path. We are incredibly lucky.

Watercolor has some pet friendly rentals avail

Watercolor contacted their vacation rental owners and many of them are allowing pets in their units due to the evacuation. Just thought I would post the info here too.

Anyone heard from InletBchDweller? I sent her a private message. She is about 67 miles from New Orleans so I assume she might be far enough inland at Prairieville. Haven't heard back from her.

They are showing a 60% chance of rain for us Tuesday through Thursday from Gustav according to our local news last night. Rain Friday also now.

Damn! I just looked at the models, and it looks like several of them are showing a hook back to the south, into the Gulf, after making landfall in Louisiana!!!

I got your PM Lady D, and many others (thanks everyone), we are here. Our neighborhood fared well during Katrina and now house quite a bit more folks than normal as of yesterday. We have a closet under the stairs in case of tornado weather and plenty of beer & water, food, etc. Our neighborhood did not lose cable/internet/phone during Katrina so I am hoping for the best. I can SOWal... All kidding aside, we will stay safe.

The forecaster (Beven, I think) who wrote the 11AM EDT discussion from NHC says this sort of model forecast usually translates into reality as a stalling of forward motion, rather than the reversal of direction the models forecast. But if it stalls, that just means Fay-like rain for LA, not a good prospect either.
