Just wanted you to know that we are all thinking of you down in LA, and where ever else that Lili is going to hit. we have some friends out on some drill ships in the gulf and they are fleeing as fast as they can! i just hope they can move fast enough and out of the way.

My son recently moved to Baton Rouge. I've been on the phone with him several times tonight, trying to get him to leave. He doesn't think leaving is necessary. All of his neighbors have gone already. Can anyone down there give me some idea what the winds might be like by the time they get to Baton Rouge.

I'm sorry Ark, I don't know what its going to be like in Baton Rouge. My daughter lives in Slidell and its not that far from Baton Rouge. I have talked to her 6 times today! This looks like it is going to be a really bad one.

I am praying for them and will say a pray for your son too.

Well, I guess worrying won't do me any good. Thanks for the pat on the shoulder and the prayers Sisalou. I'll add your daughter to my prayers also. Let us know as soon as you know she's safe.

Sis, Slidell looks good right now. Ark Baton Rouge looks to have up to 100 mph winds. My sister and her family live there and they did not leave. I think they will be fine.

Ark, should have stated that Baton Rouge is not a severe flood risk and most of the construction in this area is built/or was built to withstand these storms. He should be fine.

Prayers sent to all our friends here that are in the path of this storm. Please don't take any chances you don't have to and stay safe!

In North Mississippi and West Tenn. they are predicting that winds will be up to 60 miles an hour here. Damage to trees and anything that is out side and not bolted down. Red Cross has already headed down there and so has Entergy and other relief workers. So those in the path, please take care and don't take chances. Let us hear from you as soon as you can.

Adding my prayers for those in the storm's path. Please be cautious. I have a suggestion for those who can't move their computers, but who have documents you need to save: e-mail them to yourself to a "generic" account (Yahoo! hotmail, Juno, etc.) so that if you must evacuate you have access to the information. You might even send a copy of your e-mail addresses list to your off-site account so that you can get in touch with concerned friends in the event of an evacuation while you're riding out the storm at the home of friends or relatives.

It is a miracle that the levies in New Orleans have held overnight!!!!!!! Last night, things did not look good for N.O. In fact, it seemed unlikely the levies would make it. What great news to hear they've not gotten near the rain they thought...yet. The eye of the hurricane hasn't yet hit landfall, so the dangerous stuff is still yet to come, but at least they've held up overnight.

Unfortunately, it seems those north of N.O. in the Slidell area have been getting hammered with about 4-6 inches of rain an hour.

Good news to hear Lili has been downgraded. Lafayette is now beginning to get the pounding, and slowly it will work its way up the state. Hang in there!!

Can we hear from everyone that might have been affected by this storm to let us know you are okay (as soon as you know you are).

I know that over here in AL we seemed to have dodged another bullet.. I worried most of the night that the stupid storm would make a sharp turn and head my way.. but luckily, for me at least, it didn't. We are getting feeder band rains and will have windy conditions most of the day.. but it looks like it won't be worse than a bad rain day over here.

Those of you in LA.. and points north where the thing is headed.. I've got you in my prayers. As Spy said.. thank goodness the thing downgraded overnight.

Update here -- looks like the main part of the hurricane (or whatever is left by the time it arrives) will slide north between Monroe, LA and Vicksburg, MS. That is 30-120 miles east of where I live. We are, however, still going to get tropical storm winds and rain.

Keep safe guys. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad to hear that Lily has been downgraded, but it sounds like you guys are still get pretty beaten by this hurricane.

Hi all, so far so good in New Orleans. Winds about 40mph and rains are not as bad as last week. Some tornados around and lots of people lost power. Looks like a major cleanup in my neighborhood after this is over.
