Re: CAA#9 (Crossfires Across America #9) St. Francisville, LA - May 25, 26, 27, 28 20
Update:
Marc will be at the hotel early this afternoon. He is taking a half-day off work. I will not be there until later because I have Parent-Teacher Conferences today. I anticipate arriving around 6:00. I will have the food with me for those who ordered dinner. If you still have not ordered dinner ($10/person), then you do still have time. I plan to put the order in later this morning.
As for "Invest 90" - They are predicting this to be a Tropical Depression and more of a rain maker event than a wind event. There are still a lot of factors out there that will determine where it heads. My experience is that Tropical Storms here in Louisiana tend to be a let-down (very boring and uneventful). Everyone gets all nervous about it and then it turns out to me much of nothing. However, because the storm is most likely to hit on Sunday, I feel it is a good idea to do New Orleans on Monday. It is still very possible the storm could head to Florida instead of Louisiana. No one really knows at this point.
Therefore, the schedule for this weekend is:
Saturday: Natchez, Mississippi
Sunday: Avery Island, Louisiana
Monday: New Orleans, Louisiana
We will be using walkie-talkies, so if you have one, then bring it. If you do not have one, then you will have Marc's and my phone number in your packets, in case you get lost. Walke-talkies are helpful to get in touch with the group quickly, but if you do not have one, that is okay because there will be cell service.
Keep checking here for updates on the event throughout the day today and the weekend.
See you this evening.
