Hatchertiger Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) It is not looking good. For now, I'm staying put. Current track is similar to Andrew in '92 more to the east though. Edited August 27, 2021 by Hatchertiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain if needed, you can find refuge in Texas with some of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Little known fact about Hurricane Andrew: Everyone talks about the devastation in Florida (which is deserved because their shit building codes of the day are still killing people this year), but more people died in Louisiana from Hurricane Andrew than did in Florida.

LSUDad Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 22 barges have broken loose in St. Bernard. That can be a disaster depending what's on them.. If they damage a bridge... And a couple ferrys are loose also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think with a storm of that magnitude & strength approaching they would go to great lengths to secure the barges. Obviously not.

COTiger Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 That's too far back for my fuzzy memory. I do remember Audrey though. The eye passed right over us. That might be as scared as I've been in my life which includes a year in Nam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
