eeeeeek

As an amateur weather observer, I do not place great faith in hurricane path prediction past a 48 hours window.

However.

I do not like that the five day path for Ernesto places that storm squarely on the way to Grand Isle as a category 3.

I'm not as ruffled by the possibility of a storm as I am the preparation, both work and personal, for possibly leaving. I know what to do and not do this time, but in any case I just don't like it.

I believe my house could withstand another deluge, but I'll tell you, that storm that pulled through yesterday left 18 inches of water at the intersection of Jeff Davis and Canal. Not a good sign for people recovering from last go round. Dem pumps, dey ain't werkin, cher.

I know I'll row my boat down the River of Denial until proved otherwise. As far as I'm concerned, I'll be sitting down to dinner at Dickie Brennan's Steak House next Saturday for my brother's bachelor party, no ifs ands or buts. Labor Day weekend will NOT be compromised. NO!!! But I'll still keep my wary eye on wunderground.com for updates.
