Hurricane Ida

Just a quick heads up: In case the blog schedule is interrupted next week, it’s all Ida’s fault. :0)

In 25 years of TV broadcasting … I have never presented a more worrisome tropical forecast for the WAFB area. Ida has the potential of being more troublesome than 2008's Gustav, more problematic than 1992's Andrew."

Get your final hurricane preps completed ASAP!

This is our local news guy, Jay. I know everybody thinks Louisiana + hurricane = Katrina, but in the Baton Rouge area, Gustav and Andrew did more damage. We were without power for about a week after each of them, and at my house, we lost a rather large tree during Gustav, whereas during Katrina we got some wind and rain and the power was out for maybe 30 minutes. The good news is, Ida should die down to a Cat. 1 by the time it gets to us.

Anyway we’ll probably spend today prepping and battening down the hatches, and having a hurricane party (aka: grilling all the meat from the freezer before it spoils) next week if the power’s out. And if it is, I obviously won’t be posting anything on the blog.

I’ll check in on social media when I can. Your prayers are appreciated.

Praying for you and your family, as well as peace for all in Ida’s path. Praying that unbelievers might heed the call of Christ during this time. I was in the midst of Laura last year, and anxiety would have been awful, except for assurance of salvation. Be safe and enjoy the grilling!
