We are fine, folks, but I am really grateful for all the people who have been fretting over us. <3

Basically the storm is hitting right around the western Louisiana border, much closer to Houston than us here in New Orleans.

According to the latest NOAA models, we are due for some minor flooding risk and some risk of gusts. There's some possibility for storm surge closer to Lake Ponchatrain, but that's a bit too far north of us to be much of a problem.

Worst-case scenario for us is that we can't go outside for a day or so and we have to take the cats in after all. We should be pretty safe from winds, and the terrifying (two story?!?) storm surges we're hear might happen in the west and the southern coast aren't supposed to hit us out here.

New Orleans also has some pretty good drainage systems. I've seen the streets go from ankle-deep to bone dry in under an hour. We should be okay, I'm mostly just worried for the rest of the state.

(They're mostly crappy Trump types but even they shouldn't die in a hurricane...)
