They said tonight on the aftershow of the Les Miles show that if they initiate the contra flow out of New Orleans, the game is a no-go for Saturday. This will be determined tomorrow afternoon. According to WWL, the storm has not moved since earlier. http://wwl.com/No-change-in-latest-Gustav-track/2863575 Whatever happens, happens.
TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!! Now, back to the storm. Generally speaking, you can throw out the outliers with these models. That would place the storm somewhere between Mobile to the east (which I predict), and Lake Chuck to the west. It's a long way out, but that pretty much puts NOLA in the center of the cone again. FWIW, I have 3 available bunks, a sofa bed, and a table that somehow morphs into a bed located in a camper just north of Dallas. I'm keeping the bedroom, if anyone needs a place to lie down, PM me, and I'll supply directions and contact #. Oh by the way...I snore like a lion.:wink:
So, there was a notable shift overnight. The storm is now predicted to come in Tuesday or later and is more likely to hit far western Louisiana or eastern Texas. Game on? Oh, and to my guys who are planning to come to my house for the game Saturday...we're having a party, regardless (because I've already prepared too much food to back out.) We can rewatch the BCSNCG and then watch Clemson vs. Alabama.
We are not out the woods yet, but another day of it just sitting there would insure that the game is played. They are saying that it is gonna re strengthen into a hurricane and if it does then the sterring is gonna change. Today is the day for us whatever happens today with the storm is gonna determine I think when it will make landfall!
They are saying that they misjudged the center of the storm last night and that the forecasts from last night are inaccurate. This morning's update will give us a btter idea.
Looking at the current radar of it, it looks like it's heading due west. If that is the case, that would push it going over all of Jamaica. If that happens, hopefully it will be ripped apart again and have to regroup one more time. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200807_sat.html#a_topad
I know I speak for JayB as well when I say I can't tell you how thrilled we are to hear that. (insert sarcasm emoticon here) I'm told the parish gov't will start discussing evacuation tomorrow morning.
Well, if it hits Morgan City, I'm phucked! Living south of Houma has its advantages, except when these things start to happen.
