Anyone else down south?  So far so good.. Power is still on and the rain isn't that bad yet. 30 mins or so until first major band hits us.

I got family riding it out in my old hometown in Plaquemines Parish.  They don't seem that worried this time.

Always love how the media gets obsessed with saying the word "parish" when it's anything involving Louisiana.  Listen to them when they talk about about other states - do you ever hear them mention counties?  Nope.  They'll tell you the closest big city.

Actually they do talk about counties in wide ranging natural disasters like this when going in real time.  Especially when the tornadoes tore through the southeast.  You don't really want to panic the entire city of Chattanooga if the tornado is in a county 50 miles away.
