So NOLA friends, you plan on leaving for Roo a little early?
Ummm.... I am here. I am waiting on work as of now. We haven't called off yet, Monday is wait and see. Tomorrow morning I will know better where we are.
For the record, I skedaddled away from Katrina at like 2am, 3 hours before it hit. If it looks that way, I will probably do the same again. Right now we are in a holding pattern. Stay tuned for further instructions.
Oh and I am fucking stressing. I fucking hate this shit.

Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

So I'm not going to lie, I'm having a little PTSD from Katrina. I don't live anywhere near where the levee broke and flooded the city, had little to no water damage at my house but my college best friend/business partner lost her house which was also our business. I evacuated literally 3 hrs before it hit. Kyle got strep throat. We couldn't get in the hospital because of all the evacuated patients and he could have died. 104.5 fever and we had to ice him in the tub three times before we could get to the hospital 3 days later. Then we were stuck at my dad's for three months. Kyle started school there. If we left, baton rouge would be in the same situation as here and Dallas is the closest family we have. All my family locally is staying (for now) also.
I know there will be rain, but we don't live in a flood area (unless the pumps fail) and we fixed where the water would get in the house when water backed up behind our house. But we also have two big ass oak trees in our backyard and I'm fucking nervous.
Katrina was the first storm I ever actually left for, I left a second time for Gustavu which almost destroyed my dad and my relationship. I fucking hate this shit.

First thing this morning I looked Ida track and instantly you came to my heart. I wasn’t sure at the time if you were around for Katrina (now I know you were). I imagine you would have PTSD, I went on a mission trip to Biloxi after Katrina and just seeing the aftermath was traumatic. Not sure if this means anything to you but I am praying for everybody down there and you and your family specifically.
I went to Rockaway about three weeks after Sandy hit in 2012. Though the equivalent of a Cat 1 then, it flooded over most of the neighborhood because of storm surge.
A few of us went from CT to help the Occupy Sandy efforts, which at this point was bringing food and supplies to hard hit neighborhoods in NYC and NJ. Plus, helping gut people's houses because everything was damaged due to storm surge.
So NOLA friends, you plan on leaving for Roo a little early?
No. I’m just in wait and see mode. We all have Wed arrival, but depending on how that’s going we may wait until Thursday. But if the city gets wrecked, we are probably going to have to go back there and do cleanup. I’m not stressing either way. I want to go to Bonnaroo badly. But if the family needs help at the crib, life has to come first.

If the house gets wrecked I'm bugging the fuck out and letting insurance handle it.

Our problem is it’s her house (used to be ours). She’s not supposed to lift more than 1 pound for the next few weeks. So anything that needs to be saved or dealt with is just me and the chirins

Rough. I got the niece and her hubby (and 2 dogs/3 cats) coming over. Pray I don't die with 4 dogs all up in my shit.
They live in Lakeview and I just can't let them stay there.
I'm supposed to be driving East on I-10 tomorrow. Lol.
So that fucking sucked but I'm in Florida now. Left at 4 AM and got here around 4:30 PM. First four or five hours were smooth sailing but when I hit Slidell (NOLA traffic) it became slightly brutal. Gonna be waiting out the storm here.

As on now, we have had a few gusts of wind but nothing serious or hard. It's not raining yet, but we have had some sprinkles.
I watched the news this morning and see it tracked closer to us. I'm nervous, but this house survived Katrina, with no damage so I'm hoping we'll be fine.
We have food, lamps, a generator and worst case scenario all our camping gear just happens to be in the living room already. Plus, lots of friends/family also stayed. I'm in a high area and less than 1/2 block from the levee, which is one of the highest and safest places to be. I'm on the opposite side of the river than where the levee broke and dumped the lake into the city and there's no lake on this side.
So the biggest concerns for us (my house) is flooding, wind and possible tornadoes. My house is also built up and water has never gotten to my front door. We siliconed the weep holes in the back of the house where water has gotten in, the the past, since our backyard does hold water and we have sandbags along the back as well.
I will try to keep y'all updated. It looks like it's making landfall around 1pm. Once it goes lands hopefully it will disintegrate pretty quickly.
Edit: just wanted to add that a few of my friends are firemen that live in the area and they are going to check up on us as well.
