USA Carry Riding out Hurricane Isaac

[lukem]

My wife and I live in New Orleans and decided to ride this one out. I'm on a second floor level so water shouldn't be an issue. I also wanted to tell anyone else down here to be safe!

 

[Sir Diealotz]

Stay dry.

If Issac moves slow, as predicted, it will dump a BUNCH of rain.

 

[lukem]

Yea, I'm pretty sure we'll get water here and have power issues. I've got a lot of supplies, full propane tanks and charcoal for the pits. I just finished tying up my patio furniture and now just trying to get in some work before the "stuff" hits the fan.

 

[santa]

Be safe and let us know how things go. I am also an ordained minister so my prayers are with you.

 

[Lethaldosage47]

Hope everything goes well for ya lukem. I couldnt imagine what you guys have to go through!

 

[Shoobee]

The main issue is going to be preserving your vehicles, and getting them to high ground, so that they don't flood.

A tall parking garage may work well. As long as the structure holds up, then the vehicles should be fine up there.

But you need to get the vehicles to someplace at a safe hight for them.

Best of luck to you, riding out the storm.

 

[John Theriot]

Best of luck to you

 

[cgiven1]

Best of luck and stay safe.

Have family in Mobile and NO, saying a little prayer and passing the ammunition in case of the same thugs come out again.

 

[TlWheatley]

Stay safe and dry

 

[Gwgriggs]

Best of luck to you and your family, Luke. The same to everyone riding this one out.

 

[HoJo]

Good luck to you.

Take care , brother...we here in Tampa dodged this one.

Take care , brother...we here in Tampa dodged this one.

Yup, we sure did. I thought that when it started to head toward Louisiana that it would build to at least a Cat 3 storm because of the 85-86 degree waters. Glad to see that as bad as it is now, (watching the weather reports right now) that it won't get much beyond a Cat 1.

Good luck and we're all hoping for the best for y'all.

 

[tcox4freedom]

Good luck & God speed Luke. We'll keep you in prayer on this end brother.

 

[Firefighterchen]

Good luck and may the force be with you...Luke...
