+1, hopefully everyone took the proper precautions. This one is an absolute monster.

Sara · 08-29-2021, 11:43 AM

Thank you!

As of now, I still have power. Two of my colleagues just informed me they lost power about 5 minutes ago. So it begins

Just eerie this storm is hitting on Katrina's anniversary.

Everyone stay safe... this is not looking good, its borderline cat 5... ive never seen one this big.

Tyga11 · 08-29-2021, 01:15 PM

This storm is going to ravage LA. They are saying the levees are stable. I'll believe that when I see it. If they don't hold up we're looking at Katrina on steroids

TiMSport · 08-29-2021, 01:44 PM

To hear this is going to cause more damage than Katrina is frightening.

mapleleaf1773 · 08-29-2021, 01:50 PM

Pray that levee holds 🙏

I just audibly laughed out loud.

Hell on earth is a coming and you noticed the sign language interpreter is cute.

Great news kscarrol! Any word from the other forum members there though I know you're away.

kscarrol · 08-30-2021, 11:26 AM

No word from Sara or rebekahb yet but power out across the city.

nyalpine90 · 08-30-2021, 11:38 AM

hope everyone is safe

Tommy-G · 08-30-2021, 04:55 PM

I haven’t watched “TV” all weekend, how did the storm pan out overall?

freakystyly · 08-30-2021, 05:16 PM

Looks like she got downgraded to tropical. Hopefully power wont be out for too much longer for those poor folks down there.

I know my stupid butt would want to go outside and see the wind, the worst we get up here is the occasional thunderstorm it seems like.

shoei · 08-30-2021, 05:26 PM

Haven't heard from Sara or Rebekah yet but hopefully soon.

Sara's at extended risk. She might blow a generator attempting to plug in a blow dryer.

No but seriously. Stay safe.

And I am the one making tasteless jokes?

cmyx6go · 08-30-2021, 06:44 PM

The news is reporting the power may be out for weeks. I can’t image. Hope everyone is safe.
