Several of you know that I live in Southwest Louisiana and that a mere year ago we suffered TWO hurricanes - Laura, officially a Category Four (maybe a Five - some critical instruments blew away when hit with 150 MPH winds - 155 is Cat 5) and Delta, a Category Two when it came onshore six weeks later, twelve miles east of Laura's track.
We got a story Hurricane, Laura out of it.
It's a year later. Hurricane Ida's predicted to come ashore as a Category Four tomorrow. Fortunately for me, she's a hundred and fifty miles east of me. Looks like the home is safe for me.
New Orleans, Baton Rouge, dozens of medium and small communities are in the path. Gonna be rough for them.
For me, when I put my work hat on, I have several facilities including offshore assets right there in Ida's path. This might be interesting.
For those of you who've written asking about me, cautioning me, CARING about me, thanks, folks!
