...and just to the west of where I live. That means high water pushed into the lake, then my yard.
I'm moving my Roadrunner tomorrow about 20 minutes away, where flooding is not a problem.
I have to do what I can here to move stuff at ground level in the yard and detached garage.
The house is about 5 feet up, so that should be ok. I have the "vacation house" about 85% complete 2½ blocks off the beach in the westernmost part of Mississippi that I have to make ready too.
I'm not sure how bad this is going to be, but I am more concerned than I have been in 8 years.
I'm on a bayou, no levee protection, off the big lake north of New Orleans.

Be careful and take care. Hope everything comes out unscathed when its over.
 
Hey, thanks everybody.
I have experience with hurricanes, being a south Louisiana resident basically all my life. Went through Katrina, came out ok, missed flooding by ¼" but I didn't live where I do now.
This could be really bad.
At least my Roadrunner won't flood.
 
Congratulations!

You are now in first place for number of hurricanes per month average.

I reluctantly relinquish my title.

And oddly enough, Ida comes on the 16th anniversary of Katrina.
Best of luck to you.

They were saying that on the radio.

Anyone there superstitious?

Oh, wait....superstition capital of the world.
 
I know the feeling and it sucks but at least you have lead time to prepare unlike a tornado.
Batten down the hatches and good luck and prayers sent your way !
