ldub23 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Reminds me of the 1992 season and Andrew. It was a 1 storm season. Right now we have 2 other tropical systems and they are both in horrid conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the US had another devastating hurricane that year: Iniki. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Haven't heard anything from my friend in Metairie. I haven't been able to follow this much today but from what I can tell, although it's probably not going great there, the worst conditions are a bit west of there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport is west of there(at least 5 miles) and they have been getting gusts recently up to 90 mph so probably not quite as bad there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, if worst comes to worst, the marine life/and fauna will be stressed and need food sources too-think of the wildlife and the animals! Think of the shrimp!

Transmission tower has collapsed, power lines to city down in the Mississippi river. I don't know if these are the very tall towers one can see from near the French Quarter crossing the river.
