This is great, just great. According to the latest National Hurricane Center Map, on Wednesday morning, the eye of the storm is going to be right over my house. Hoo boy. I think it’s accurate to say that I won’t be able to blog on Wednesday, at least, given the high likelihood of power outage. If the mobile phone networks stay up, I’ll be able to update the comments. Just letting you know now, so you don’t wonder what happened to this blog if things go silent on Wednesday and beyond.
Is That The Eye of Sauron? No, Isaac.

Good luck to you all. We’re still dealing with the outer bands here on the East Coast of Florida. Isaac is one big storm!

interesting; first it’s headed toward the GOP convention; then the rural abode of a crunchy con? what did you folks do to p*ss off Mother Nature? has Pat Robertson chimed in? seriously; be safe.

If you end up being inside the eye, take some pics or video. make a sandwich and do a special VFYT. it’s too cool an opportunity to pass up.

Rod, please post a few photographs (or videos) of the storm! We don’t have cyclones on this side of the ocean.
Good luck, BTW … I am sure you will be just fine.

Stay safe and think of us up here next weekend with the rain comes.

Cold comfort, but some people in the Midwest will be happy if the rain gets that far north.

I think Twitter is going to be the way to go here. Gov. Jindal is putting a lot of interesting information out there right now. And Brendan Loy is doing a nice job of aggregating all of the different reports.
Rod, maybe someone at TAC can embed your Twitter feed on this page. Tweets will be a lot easier to get out than blog posts.

Be safe. We’ll pray for the people of the Gulf Coast…again.

Rod Dreher says:
Thanks everybody. The one good thing I could see coming out of this storm late last week was the possibility that it was going to go ashore in the Panhandle and head up to Georgia, where those folks desperately need rain. No such luck. We’ve had lots of rain in south Louisiana this summer, and don’t need any more. But north Louisiana and esp Arkansas are parched, so may this storm be a blessing to them.

If you’re lucky/unlucky, Rod, you might get to see Quetzalcoatl aka Hurrican, the Feathered Serpent. That is, the round inner ‘wall’ of clouds in the hurricane eye flowing around you.
It’s good for a couple of conversion experiences.

Eli says:
I wondered whether you’d be posting about Isaac today. If I remember correctly, you’re not in one of the parishes suggested to evacuate, right? Keep yourself out from under falling trees, and come back to us safe.
Here’s the 5-day rainfall prediction, by the way.

AnotherBeliever says:
Those of us living in places that are severely short on twin sure could use some of that hurricane, spread out. In the meantime, y’all stay safe. If you wind up getting interviewed by the media about the eye being directly over your house, give us a shout out. Oh, and do evacuate if they call for it.

Rain, even. (Ah, smart phones… )

IndianaMike says:
Hope all of you in the Deep South can weather the storm without harm and send as much rain as you can up North to salvage what can be saved of the crops in those states.

Stay safe, Rod. Prayers for you, your family and everyone else to come through unharmed.
Stay safe.
