    You'll be dry at the game if you can get there.

    In the wake of Isidore, Louisiana stares down Lili
    Associated Press

    NEW ORLEANS -- Less than a week after Tropical Storm Isidore drenched Louisiana, the state was preparing for the threat of a hurricane as Lili headed toward the Gulf of Mexico.

    New Orleans officials brainstormed possible evacuation problems today, while coastal residents boarded up and sandbagged homes, cleaned up debris and stocked up on food and storm supplies.

    By this afternoon, Lili's winds had increased to near 100 mph, making it a Category 2 storm. It was moving across western Cuba and likely to enter the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the day. Forecasters put it near the Texas or Louisiana coast by Thursday.

    In Grand Isle, a barrier island in southeastern Louisiana, crews patched levees that were damaged when Isidore blew ashore last week. "We're working around the clock right at the moment," said Ray Santiny, a council member.

    In New Orleans, officials talked about closing Interstate 10 -- a major evacuation route out of the city -- if the highway floods, as it did during Isidore.

    In Terrebonne and St. Bernard parishes, officials stocked up on sandbags. Both parishes were hit hard by rains from Isidore, which dumped over 20 inches of rain in places.

    Texans also were making preparations. The state's Division of Emergency Management raised its alert status to level two -- the second highest state of alert -- this morning.

    "It's a little bit early to tell that but I think areas there in the northwestern Gulf, say from Houston to New Orleans, should be monitoring the progress of the storm very carefully," said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.

    Isidore, which broke up over the Northeast on Saturday, came ashore Thursday in Louisiana, flooding homes there and in Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and Tennessee. Thousands of homes were damaged, and at least four deaths were blamed on the storm, three in Mississippi and one in Tennessee. Two people were killed in Mexico, where Isidore came ashore as a hurricane.

    Mayor Ben Morris of Slidell, northeast of New Orleans near Lake Pontchartain's north shore, called for an emergency cleanup of debris from Isidore so the city will be ready for Lili.

    "I can't order anything right now, like evacuations," he said. "But, use common sense. If it looks like it's coming, go visit a relative in Houston or Nashville or somewhere, but get the hell out of here."

    The local weather man said the winds could still be hurricane strength when this storm reaches north LA tomorrow night, especiallyaround Ruston and Monroe. Seems to be a strong one.

    You'd have thought we didn't have a hurricane scare here in Baton Rouge just last week. Last night you couldn't find batteries or important hurricane staple food like chips and stuff. And, people were in the grocerty store in droves. Somehow I expect we'll get much more than the wimpy little Izzy we had last week in this one here in BR.

    Latest I am getting from Weather Underground says that the NWC has upgraded Lili to a Category 4 with a pressue of 941 and sustained winds of 135 ... of course the NWC hasn't updated its site ...

    Not good. It is strengthening REALLY fast. If it keeps this pace up we are looking at a strong 4 or a Category 5 at landfall ...

    Latest from weather.com. I'd ask that you all be praying for the individuals in the path of this storm. This report is the first to say the winds could remain strong INTO ARKANSAS!

    Lili now extremely dangerous
    Wed, Oct. 02, 2002 3:07 PM ET
    Buzz Bernard, Sr. Meteorologist
    Tropical Update, The Weather Channel


    Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters found flight-level (10,000-foot) winds of 156 mph in Hurricane Lili this afternoon, indicating Lili continues to intensify. It now is an extremely dangerous category four hurricane. Lili continues on its relentless course toward the U. S. Gulf Coast with landfall expected sometime around midday tomorrow in southwest Louisiana. The first outer band of heavy squalls associated with Lili is now about 40 miles south of the southeast Louisiana coast. Near and immediately east of where the eye crashes ashore tomorrow, a life-threatening storm surge of up to 15 feet will roll through the bayous. Destructive winds with Lili will carry some distance inland, especially over Louisiana, southeast Arkansas and western Mississippi, so residents of those areas should prepare for widespread power outages and blocked roads tomorrow afternoon and evening. Isolated tornadoes will add to the danger. Along the coast, east of where Lili moves inland, surf will come up significantly, and a heavy surf advisory has been posted as far east as Destin, Fla. Surf may build to 10 to 15 feet.

    I don't think I've seen a hurricane eye that well defined since Andrew!!! The GOOD thing is that it's still holding at 941 mb indicated that although it might strengthen some more, its reaching max under the current conditions. For reference, Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013 mb which is roughly 14.7 psi. The pressure at the center of this storm is 13.65 psi which is about 1 psi VACUUM!

    What is the record low for a hurricane eye? Anyone know?

    I talked with Neil Shaw at Channel 8. He is very concerned that this storm is going to barrel right up through Louisiana and still be packing 70 mph sustained winds when it reaches us. He is predicting 40 mile per hour winds tomorrow night, then reaching 70 mph after midnight. That's unless the storm is pushed eastward, and he doesn't think it will be. As strong as this storm is, he said, there is no pressure out of the west that will be strong enough to move it eastward. Doesn't look like a fun night Thursday.
