They are looking at / predicting landfall on Wednesday.
The path of Isaac is uncertain.
Plan for the unexpected and pray this storm dies in the Gulf.

Nice to meet someone on here who does as well. As for this hurricane, no way will any businesses be running between New Orleans and Pensacola. This will be a strengthening hurricane which means it will have gusts much stronger than it's wind speeds at time and it will not be a consistent wind either. This thing will undergo rapid intensification tomorrow though as it seems to have organized better and has handled the dry air problem.
If you live in anywhere from Mobile to New Orleans get out soon and board up! It's almost a lock that you'll see a 10+' storm surge, winds in excess of 90 mph and since it's a slow mover those winds will have a very long time to work on infrastructure and flooding will be catastrophic. This is gonna be bad people
So true.Wind does not kill.
Water kills.
It's a Category 1 for goodness sakes. A lot of wind and a lot of rain. Minimal damage.
