    Lili, category 4

     
    Here we go again.... This pup is a killer....
    We (my family here in Mandeville) are suppose ta be outta it's hit target fer now, BUT we still may get hit worse than last week.
    Lili is gonna be bad. It's a good thing that the people down here are able to get the jist of this and take all precautions. Y'all would not believe what the government, all of our local electives, have done ta help. We are the most vulnerable city on the gulf coast. Ohhh, think how scarey the last resort of vertical evacuations would be here,,,,

    God help us all.......Mother Nature is about to open some whoparse at us...

    I'm sure we'll be ok..... will keep ya appraised...

    I just saw the news tonight
    10-20 foot storm surges, could go inland as far as 15 miles

    I'm glad I live in MO.

    Sweet I would leave if it gets too bad

    We're ok. First chance to get back here. Had power out. When it came back, I just went to bed...

    The wind was strong. The rain was intense at times. It sure gets hot and muggy and boring when the power is out.

    So all in all, it appears everyone did real good.... Just another round with Mother Nature.........
