I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is never an easy time, Nora, deciding whether to stay or go. Think about where you will feel safe if you stay - is there somewhere in your house with no windows (or can you cover your windows before the storm hits?) - and how you can keep your cats safe. If you decide to go, leave as early as you can and be prepared to be stuck in slow traffic, and arrange for a hotel room or other place to stay before you leave.

I stayed through many storms - the only one I actually evacuated for was Katrina - and was fine, fwtw. Isaac is not a Category 5.

That's pretty awesome, Kat.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jilli,

I have just spent an unreasonable amount of time on that site. I think I want one of EVERYTHING.

I can't decide between this: [link]

or this: [link] or this: [link]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Safety and good wishes to all those in Isaac's path! Have my fingers crossed for you all.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

During a drunken evening years ago a friend commented that the texture of mushrooms reminded him of cock (he enjoyed both). Now every time I hear anyone specify that they don't like the texture of mushrooms, I assume that they also don't (or wouldn't) enjoy performing fellatio.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kat, wow. I would love to do something like that if only I had the freezer space.

Stay safe, NOLAistas!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, smonster and Nora!

That's amazing, Kat.

Safety and much good luck to you, smonster and Nora!

Kat, I'm in awe.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Mayor Landrieu, during his afternoon press conference today, recommended stay and shelter. Nora, as far as I saw the projected path hasn't changed, nor has time of landfall. Did I miss something, or is it just people's nervousness growing as it gets closer?

Ah, Jindal called for voluntary evac of low lying areas, Orleans Parish being among them, and then there were some Facebook reports of a weather dude (Bob Breck, I think?) who had been pooh-poohing the whole system, doubling back on that and freaking that people should evacuate tomorrow morning.

However, looks like Isaac is continuing to shift westward and strength has downgraded to Cat 1, for now. It's still a TS right now, though.

Here's hoping it's just windy and rainy for you all.
