we've been taken out of the tropical storm warnings for now. but in a flash flood/flooding thing. we are still expected down here in st bernard to get the higher winds and 3-6" of rain an hour, in some isolated areas up to 20 inches. all that starting tomorrow sometime and going through tuesday. we wont get anything much from the west side of the storm, but from the south and east side is where the weather is thats suppose to hit us.

we got all the doors sandbagged and the lawnmower, etc outside up high. got my kayak ready just in case, so i can ride some waves.

everything is fine, blue skies right now. few clouds coming out of the north from the storm and getting about 20mph winds with a little higher gusts off and on.
