Also 700 pm here. Ugly clouds. No rain yet. Gusty winds, but not really bad. Just finished picking up and tying down stuff. I know I didn't get everything, but I hope that it's OK. Ordered Domino's pizza. About to hit the shower to get this stink off. Now the wait begins.

Well darkness has fallen, the winds are continuing to blow at 25-40 mph, the rain is starting to come in bands, so far still only about .5 inches today. I checked the rain gauge and emptied it a few minutes ago so I could see what it brings overnight. Still have power, so far all is good.

I'm glued to the Weather Channel, and thinking of all of you who live in Isaac's path. It was inspiring to read about the preparations you were making. May you and all your loved ones, of all species, be safe.​

Haven't heard how you are all doing down there in a few hours. Hope all is well and the storm passes thru w/o too much damage!
Anybody know what the weather is doing down there in the Southlands now?

5 pm it shows they will be in the red area of the rain and that is even a lot heavier than what I am looking at .I tried to look at a few other road cams but nothing now must have gotten knocked out and the one i could see is flashing so ready to go out too .

I have been watching the road cams and the airport ones there for hours on the puter and you could just see blowing rain and then for a few minutes when rain bands would go by you could just see water laying on the roads and the winds blowing things and guess as power went out nothing and Martin Luther King park was flooded also .I guess electric must be going out because i saw sparks coming out from some where ,I thought it was lightening at first .
