101mph gust in Cameron, LA. Northern eyewall has started to come ashore, official landfall about an hour away
Top wind gust on land was 134mph in Lake Charles before the equipment was damaged
2 more named systems formed this weekend. Paulette atm forecasted to turn towards Bermuda. Rene forecasted to drift west, become a hurricane, and then turn towards the Azores.
Eastern LA felt left out I guess out
Looking like it'll go directly over downtown NOLA based on current projections.
Gonna be so much flooding
So not only Sally but...
Paulette is a hurricane and Bermuda already feeling its impact with a direct hit (or just about) coming
Rene is still a depression forecasted to slowly move Southwest towards the Caribbean
Tropical Depression 20 has formed and forecast to strengthen to a potential powerful hurricane by later in the week
Paulette was no big deal due to our infrastructure. I slept through the whole thing and had to leech electricity from the gas station for internet. A bigger problem is we're seeing some issues with cleanup/repair responses for after a hurricane due to Covid protocols and the company with a sole monopoly over our electricity (Belco) not having people on standby ( Usually misc linemen go from one country to another that just got hit by a hurricane) to bring it back on immediately for this entirely foreseeable logistics problem. No idea if this was a normal mistake or the new owners being incompetent. Repairs are going fast but they're doing it understaffed and on easy mode.
Teddy Pendergrass might be hitting sometime at the end of the week.
Still a case of better us than you. The US can't handle hurricanes. Paulette would have them reeling for weeks/months while I got power back after all of 2 days, have an infinite water supply, and the grocery store I go to has solar panels, so my biggest food problem was them running out of cold cuts. Contrast that with Puerto Rico, New Orleans,Texas, etc being left to die.
Apparently a barge was freed from its moor and is listing towards the I-10 bridge in Pensacola. With a large crane attached to it. The Navy is considering blowing it up before it destroys the bridge. INSANE.
