Hurricane Isaac is coming
« on: August 28, 2012, 05:38:00 PM »
Can anybody say HURRICANE PARTY!

Looks like it will go right over the lease.       :eek:                :eek:        


Not expecting REALLY bad winds, just enough to mess up the acorn crop!  So much for having a "normal" acorn crop.  Trees are LOADED this year but won't be for long.  I was looking forward to setting up on some hot feed trees all the way into January, but the acorns will not last long.  Will need to change tactics!

I heard where New Orleans is expecting as much as 20".  We'll see if the levee improvements and pumps do there job.

Guess we will see what a 150,000 gallon per SECOND pump looks like running full throttle!  That's over 20,050 cubic feet per second guys....unbelievable!  

AND I heard it can only handle a 1" per hour sustained rainfall in the City.

They are now saying landfall is EAST of Grand Isle.  Maybe our acorn crop can weather the storm!  Unless it follows the coast we will get the very eastern tip of it.  I pray that the levees in New Orleans hold.  It's going to get deep over there in the next 6-10 hours.

I'm at the office for a little while.  It breezy right now, but we are expected to get a "good wind" through the area in a few hours.  The storm has shifted to the west and looks like we will get more than originally expected, but certainly not anything like we have weathered in the past.

Thanks for the prayers and we'll keep in touch.

Still at the office in Lafayette.  Isaac tracking a little more north but moving slow.  We shouldn't see much more than 40 mph winds and a good bit of rain, but the camp will see more.  Hurricanes love to follow the Atchafalaya River.
