Angle or no, I can't help but feel like it's still aiming directly for that spot where Sabine Lake dumps into the gulf

I'm exploring the area on Google maps and it looks pretty low key. The track currently crossing straight over Holly Beach, LA, aka "the Cajun Riviera"

Wikipedia tells me this happening place has already been completely destroyed by hurricanes in 1957 and 2005 and rebuilt several times.

Intensity forecasts are often quite wrong because hurricanes can go super saiyan in the gulf in <24 hours.

Nothing too wild yet, but they're starting to get crests now (where they were just tiny little things a couple hours ago)

I'm thinking that people shouldn't live there anymore?

quote:

Welcome to "The Cajun Riviera" a nickname given to Holly Beach, Louisiana by locals and visitors alike. Located along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Louisiana, the beach-front community as undergone a new birth. A natural disaster on September 24, 2005 has changed the quality of life as we knew it. Hurricane Rita totally destroyed all of what was a great vacation get-a-way for people from all parts of the country. Before the storm there were a number of rentals available for families to enjoy the pleasures of sun and fun. Then just as Holly Beach was trying to rebuild another major storm named Hurricane Ike on September 13, 2008 re-destroyed all the hard work done after Hurricane Rita.

also Beaumont, TX which has about 120K residents

The videos post-Harvey of water flooding up to the street signs and people boating on the highway came from Beaumont and surrounds. Beaumont is 30 miles inland but it has the Neches River running right by it and if/when that overflows its banks they're screwed.

Set up three screens with the RNC, storm chaser footage, and Cool Zone feeds for Kenosha in each and see how long before you go insane :munch:

Searching for videos of Holly Beach from past hurricanes, I found "pre-storm drone footage" filmed yesterday. That's never a good sign for your community!

I really do love that the internet has gotten to the stage where we start to get pre natural disaster footage. Gonna own when large media conglomerates start posting jobs on fiver for people to film their hometown before a storm in the hopes that a tornado fucks poo poo up and they can get some sweet ad revenue

KPLC meteorologist said they're evacuating and turning coverage over to the Baton Rouge station. Not taking any chances.

e: now hot mic while the WAFB anchor lady calls the KPLC team making sure they know how to get to their station lol
