Ditto.
Looks like some drought relief is on the way. Big time.

That is what I was thinking. I am still hoping that this storm will hit closer to the Louisiana/Texas boarder with traveling more North... that would then take the rainfall right up into the Midwest and then the Ohio Valley. Both areas desperately need the rain.

Thus far, Isaac appears to be struggling to form an eye which you can see here in this radar image.

I'm keeping an eye (no pun) on this loop as well.
I'm no expert, but it looks it's, well… stalled or blowing out??

The down side of the drought relief is major flooding.

Yeah, I am probably going to be up most of the night. We have just started to get some wind gusts, but nothing major yet. I have not heard those sounds for quite a while now....still don't know what it was.
I'm in Baton Rouge now, but I have family in New Orleans and they are getting some strong gusts now. If it gets bad here I am going to try to get some video to post. It will probably be tomorrow before it really gets going though.

Here's a video from Miami beach when Isaac passed through there.....pretty cool.

My thoughts are with you StealthyKat and for everyone else that is in the path of this storm. I just want to put out that if you can get your hands on outdoor solar lights (you'll need a dozen or so) and camp shower bags they will make your time without electric much easier. Last year after Irene I was without power for 2 weeks. I gravity fed from a hose line my water (thank the heavens i also have a dug well up behind the house) so I was okay with water and I put the solar lights out during the day and brought them in at night - worked like a charm.

Latest map of Isaac...

Hi all....I thought I would record the sunset as Isaac approaches, as they are always beautiful, and I got a bonus....a rainbow just above it. The sunset in person was fiery red....too bad it didn't show up as vivid on the video, but here it is.

We have started to get some strong squalls now, so here's a sample of what it sounds like when you don't have power and you just hear the sounds....this camera is lousy and it's so dark I couldn't get a picture, so I at least got the sound. I started freaking at the end because a tree in the front yard looked like it was going to fall The 60 ft pine trees were blowing to the side like grass in the wind....This is NOTHING though...only tropical storm strength gusts right now....in the morning it should be full force and I'll have video you can SEE by then....IF we have power I'll post it. There are over 2000 in this area who have lost power already. Crank it up....the sound you hear is NOT rain....it is leaves blowing out of the trees by the thousands rushing past me.

It has not moved. Early this morning, the storm stalled out and stopped moving. It is still over the area it made land fall. Local reports say over night it will be moving through Baton Rouge. To give you an idea of how far this storm has moved, baton Rouge is 80 miles North of New Orleans. So this storm by later tonight would have moved 80 miles over the last 24 hours... and the storm was roughly 300 miles wide when it made land fall.

I'm just glad that Captain, I mean Hurricane Kirk, and also TD 12 are steering away from land right now. (& no apologies for the Trekkie humor, I am what I am lol!)

Bermuda needs to batten down the hatches a bit. Hurricane Leslie is the problem.
