Quiet in Mobile

It is quiet here the bands are not as strong as they were earlier, if no tornadoes spawn it should be ok here. Reading the local coverage from New Orleans, things seem to be ok so far. No reports of levee failures or home flooding. I hope that continues, I remain in a positive state of mind, a couple of days ago this was looking a lot worse.
The road in front of my sisters house has not washed out it has a tendency to do that after heavy rains. The ditch on the peanut field side of the road is full,
The ditch on the house side is draining pretty well.
It’s not over yet, I am still concerned about New Orleans. At the same time I am keeping in mind that this storm could have been a lot bigger, with a lot more storm surge. There is a report from WWLTV that water is lapping over the top of the Industrial Canal but no reports of levee failures. Keep your fingers crossed that they don’t give. A little over topping is not the end of the world, a failure as we know can be catastrophic.
