[AT] O.T. Batten Down the Hatches

 I am starting to worry that Texas will trade Marco for Laura. 

I have the Generator prepped and Gas Stored just in case.  I miss my wife's old 3/4 ton Suburban with the 40 Gallon tank. It made a great Tanker for generator gas.  Used it during three hurricanes.
That's the only thing I miss about that old Beast though. :-}
One thing for sure LA is going to get the worse of it. Texas? will know after the fat lady sings.  Good luck you all.  Maybe they will peter out before Monday.  Chances of that or zero or nothing though. :-{

Good luck, Bobby. Hoping for the best outcome for you and all in the area.

The projected tracks and strengthening are not looking good for us.  These are not really bad storms, but this will be a one two punch.  Besides the flooding issues we will have issues with fallen trees.  Marco will get things wet and loose with winds coming from one direction, Laura will come right behind Marko with winds in the opposite direction….As of Sunday morning the storms will hit us about 12 hours apart.  Our next update from the NWS will be at 10:00 Central time.  

We are all watching closely and getting prepared to fend for ourselves for up to a week without  power.  Generators serviced, tractors topped off with fuel, (tractor reference…LOL)  fuel on hand, food and water on hand.  Those of us like me that are in very rural areas have the know-how and equipment to survive.  The cities not so much!

Not good for Louisiana

Latest forecast does not look good for NOLA.

Hopefully they stay far enough apart so that nobody gets a double whammy.

 Stay safe.

 Hopefully there will be minimal damage along the coast. Hopefully we 
 will get some good rain out of these two storms here in Central Texas. 
 We need it.
