Lili has been upgraded to a category 4 and should hit the coast midday tomorrow.

This is getting scary! New Orleans has not fully recovered from Isadore. I don't know if they can survive a big hit from Lili. Not to mention, all the small bayou towns.

Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.

my hometown of lafayette, LA. ha been directly in Lili's path. my parents have boarded up all the windows, and when I talked to them this morning, lili was about 15 miles south of them in new iberia. i don't know what is up with them yet, but i've been keeping track of it all day and i hope they're ok. it looks like N.O. isn't getting it as bad as they did with isidore. but it's hitting central LA. pretty bad. thank goodness Lili has decreased in strength. I was in Lafayette for Andrew, and that was bad, even though it didn't come through Lafayette. Lili is.

scary stuff.


Edit:

just talked to my mom. i can see online that the eye has passed them, and they're ok, but there is crazy damage in the neighborhood.

I've been keeping up all day too.

New Orleans has not been hit as bad as expected, but there are still tornado warnings there and for Baton Rouge.

Looks like New Iberia was really getting hit, Lafayette not as bad, but still lots of damage, power out, trees down etc.

Latest I just heard was Grand Isle completely under water for 25 miles and the entire stretch of 308 is closed and under water in lots of places.

Haven't gotton anyone on the phone in St. Martinville. It's too small for the news to mention unless it's catastropic, so I guess no news is good news.

Just thankful Lili weakened as she came ashore. Hate to think how much worse this could be. I'll be happpy just to get through this day and hear from everyone safe and sound.

my mom was listening to the radio and they said some 18-wheelers were flipped over on I-10. why in the world would someone be trying to drive through this? crazy.

anyway, this is the worst one lafayette has seen. all the other ones missed central louisiana and we just got the outskirts. but this one went stright up through...

and yes, definitely still tornado warnings.

yeah, don't think st. martinville would be mentioned specifically on the news. kinda small. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] went there 3 christmas breaks in a row for SMHS' holiday basketball tournament. we never won it, but did ok. ok, that was random thoughts about my high school basketball career.

Thanks for all the support.

Everyone is ok. Just material damage.

And, wow, God sure has mercy on the city of New Orleans. They dodge the bullet one more time. I'll have to enjoy it all the more next time.

i'm very glad you and BBL can rest easy about your families.

thanks for all the sentiments guys.

my parents were talking about the daamage last night. no power for the city at least 3 days, probably even longer. they have a city-wide curfew starting at 8 PM every night until 5 AM because it is so dark. crazy. i've never gone more than a day without power. i sure do take things for granted.
