Yeah, right Now (My County borders Georgia) I am in pretty good shape, but if it bobbles 50 miles or so to the East, I'll be over at my Daughters Block and brick house tomorrow , Chuck

The storm has shifted a little east and out predictions are for 20 mph windfs and rain. It may not hit New Orleans directly, but looks like it is getting closer to Chuck...at them moment it is just below a cat 4, but these things change so rapidly, it may strengthen again, it seems it is developing a second eye wall...when they do that the second outer wall eventaully collapses with the inner wall and the storm restrengthens...usually, no guarantees...New Orleans, Mississippi, and Alabama look like the places most in danger. Only effect here in Lake Charles so far are a north east wind (15-20 mph) and a high tide about 1.5 feet higher than usual. Lake Charles has opened up the civic centrer arena for a shelter, and it is filling up with evacuees from New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama. Hotel rooms are becoming scarce in the area. Lake Charles looks like it'll just get a bit of rain...we've been on the backside of a bunch of hurricanes, and the rain just comes in feeder bands, rains for an hour or so, stops for an hour or so until the next feeder band rotates through. To keep this fishing related at least a little bit, this winter watch out for the Redfish Cup tournament in Lake Charles on ESPN. It was held here this past weekend along with the Stihl Timber Sprots tour. If you are wondering why the Timber Sports tour would come here, it is because traditionally Lake Charles started as a sawmill town, with pine and cypress being logged here and the logs sent doen the Calcasieu River to the town.
