Good morning -- -- we continue with our live coverage. Store Isaak expected this still be a hurricane by the time it makes landfall. But it's only about a 140 miles off the mouth of the Mississippi and looking at the pants right now it looks like this storm is gonna come up. The Mississippi River. Almost just like Betsy did didn't -- come right up the Mississippi. Of course Betsy headwinds of a 156. Miles per hour. I remember some very scary moments says during that storm. And I also remember some scary moments on the Gulf Coast -- during Camille and then of course we all remember the. The disaster that followed stuck Katrina but that was more about the levees breaking that it was actually yeah wind speed I -- I remember we were saying at the at the monthly on hotel downtown. During Betsy and I as a kid one of the scary things that happened twice in the electricity have all grown out. And -- the wind was so strong on the did downsides. Of the hotel. It created a suction. And it literally. Broke the windows sucked the wind is out and suck the drapes the drinks were were flying out of of the room.

And -- tropical storm tropical storm Isaac. Still looking at how. Undefined it seems to be -- and it it. It doesn't look like it's picked up speed but the latest report is that it has gone from. A ten miles per hour moving to the northwest now at twelve miles per hour but the highest sustained winds still. It simply miles per hour. It's still are projected to be a hurricane by the time it hits landfall. I'm very late Tuesday early Wednesday. In -- -- senior on WWL. People who attended -- -- Good morning rather. It appeared -- Martin parish. We won't know kind of what to expect. The hurricane. Or window they tropical forest lands. That's a parent tracked. Did he could elaborate a little bit on that Russia. -- yeah social particular Washington parish. -- I think you're gonna get all you gotta get a lot of strong winds and a lot of rain. I don't know what the winds are gonna be like by the time they get to you but you're not that far away it's not like your up in Mississippi or in Arkansas birds are Tennessee's so the winds are gonna still. Be strong and I would think that there's going to be a possibility of a power outages are in that area. A lot depends on how fast this storm moves. Along and it seems like it's a rather they have the projections are there it's a rather slow moving storm. I would think that -- -- loose. The way I see the path now it looks as if you're going to be human receive the the most powerful part of the storm again it's still -- a minimal storm but you're gonna get the most powerful part of -- so. I would just I would be prepared I would -- a picture that Theres nothing loose in the yard I would go around the house and just check whatever you can then. And be safe. -- I'm sure you're not in a low lying area but if you're an area that's prone to flood. Then there's a possibility that this is gonna flooded nick and I think one of the best things to do is to. Knots. Drive through flooded areas so people make mistakes driving through flooded areas and and sometimes people die because they don't know how deep it was so instead just be saved gene and mystic with WWL a we'll have the next update to the next official update is gonna be at 4 AM.

I'm -- and we continue with live coverage this morning a tropical storm Isaak there is still predicted to be a hurricane by the time it makes landfall. Late Tuesday early when state -- -- continuing this text say the the -- got broken off but then that the guys finish the text. And scoot between schools secure in my home working opportunity get by an elderly mother from the West Bank to my sister soma Slidell. Will I be able to. Get to Slidell on the I 10 in the morning I would think so I would think that leave the best thing that you could do. Isn't is leave early it's very it's gonna -- to get a little rough tomorrow morning. A -- mainly tomorrow afternoon and into tomorrow evening you should be able to do that right now let's go live to the WWL weather center meteorologist Eric -- rejoices with an update. On -- good morning it's good idea on good. As far as I think goes a 1 o'clock advisory shows that there hasn't been much of a change in terms of wind speed and overall direction still seen winds of seventy miles an hour. Put in at four miles an hour below what would be category one status we could see a bit of strengthening over the course of the day today I think that that is likely I think we'll see things. Just bump it up to category one strength there's a possibility it could Max out -- New -- about eighty and ninety miles an hour with those overall wins that would keep it at category one. The problem is they're only has -- -- and 47 miles left of water because it's only that much. Distance away from the mouth of the Mississippi River so it is moving in this direction and looks like it will make landfall late tonight early Wednesday morning. Dirty looks like this is gonna head right up the Mississippi. Yeah I think so but it you know a lot of times and I think people here that they think -- -- that's worst case scenario but. It's not worst case scenario when you're talking about a storm that's only this size -- a lot of times when they say it. A worst case scenario storm of the Mississippi that's what you're talking category three or higher and that's not rat right now. Somebody just called. Washington parachute the vocal on Syria they wanted to know what they can expect tonight I try to do the best I could have done a meteorologist with the south into a explain to them that I. As so they've rather than even tell you what I told them what can -- expect. For Washington parish were likely to see some of the heavier rains starting to impact them by the afternoon hours those rain bands are going to be some think. That will be our head of the center of the storm we all know that -- gonna start to see that by the late morning early afternoon I was just looking at a model that had some of those showers passing through saint Tammany and Washington. About 11 o'clock this morning -- were only a few hours away from start to see some of that rain. The heaviest of the rain will arrive by late tonight early Wednesday morning that's when the winds will be heaviest -- wealth or. Washington we're talking about winds sustained at the worst point Tuesday night Wednesday morning between about 1680 miles an hour. With the wind gust that I could be as -- about eighty to maybe ninety. Because sometimes when we get a big thunderstorm in the summertime and we can get really if we can get gusts fifty to sixty miles an hour earlier this not gone unheard out. But when you have 607080. Mile an hour winds that are sustained. That can cause a lot of stress on on property. Yeah again and -- with those summer thunderstorms we can get strong winds are just they last first sometimes like twenty minutes sometimes also that. With this one is going to be more prolonged event because of the way the tropical systems moving. And I think the wins. And we're already and if you stepped outside this morning is windy out there right now I mean even weigh up -- Washington pair were seen winds that are anywhere between about fifteen at forty miles an hour which. You know that's I wouldn't call that call. But I think by the afternoon we will see them probably between 25 and 45 of them by tonight as much as sixty to seventy. Yeah I -- -- in the station since about 7 o'clock last night so I haven't been outside yet but. I'm gonna get off before I take a walk and then. I've come back so I'll I'll I'll feel and wanna go on it feeling before it gets too dangerous to be out an infield yet they're getting tired scoot just walk outside that would eventually death. I did Derek is there is there any -- Any expectation that there could be any surprise with this storm. No -- the only surprise would be -- for me. If -- if it stays at a tropical storm status that would surprise me on and a big surprise so far because. Who I did expected to get stronger as it moved over the gulf I mean it's not really all that often where. A storm gets into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and doesn't get stronger that's. It has happened before it's just not. Comment right here so I'm not I'm not surprised it's gonna get any stronger I don't I don't think we're gonna see anything and outside and get to category two that's like -- Our next big advisory 4 o'clock in willow checked within just a little while -- get our meteorologist Eric -- alive and Demi WL Eyewitness News. Weather center were about to get another update for CBS news have been done Angel have our deuce and then we'll -- come back if you wanna join us for the comment tonight our numbers 26 so. 1878. Toll free 8668890878. And our text number is 87870. I'm screwed in this is continuing live coverage of tropical storm Isaac and -- WL AM FM. And dot com. US news update I'm Jim show living. Final preparations are underway for the arrival of Isaac. Currently a tropical storm a seventy mile per hour winds. It is expected to be a category one or two hurricane by the time it makes landfall around New Orleans late Tuesday afternoon into the evening we have. Two year old daughter and a fifteen year old dog so. You know he's just means may -- stay went down with them in my life beats audio and sound hurricane center forecast suggests -- shower has the latest on Isaac I can't. Located about 220 miles south southeast the Biloxi Mississippi. The tenor right that will never ever the north central Gulf of Mexico this morning in a -- the coast of town and leave CNN and Mississippi this afternoon or tonight. Correspondent drew Levinson says New Orleans believes he's ready for the storm the corps of engineers spent about fourteen billion dollars in proving that the levees. Building bigger stronger levees and walls to keep the flood waters out and they think. That is going to do just that CBS news update on Jim sham of it. Well first music to thirty. I'm done names on your official weather station WW love never -- dot com. Tropical storm I music hasn't changed the money in the last few hours as it takes aim at New Orleans as a little 1 o'clock advisory no shift in the home but. Overall the statistics remaining fairly consistent now the winds have been at seventy miles an hour since yesterday afternoon. The central pressure however has dropped a bit now at 978. -- bars continue to move off to the northwest at twelve miles an hour don't wanna call it -- quick storm but it's certainly not a slow meandering one like some of the other stories we've seen this season. Overall the timing of the system is as follows will see the effects of him. Today but landfall is still expected for late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning and this is the expected winds will be a category one status. 104 meteorologist Eric ever says that -- is pretty much locked in it's the wind is the intensity that's still in question. He's expecting seventy to eighty miles per hour with nice indeed possible but unlikely. -- is still a tropical storm now with winds of seventy miles an hour a hurricane warning has been issued from Morgan City eastward to Destin Florida. A warning does of course include metro New Orleans and the Lake Pontchartrain area. Besides the potentially destructive winds and storm officials are worried about extreme rainfall. Intense rain could make it easy for trees and power lines to fall over in the wet ground. Already saturated because of the wet summer. So here WWL forecast does include a flash flood watch for southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi that will go into effect -- 7 o'clock this morning. And remain in effect until 7 o'clock Wednesday evening. Great bands from -- are expected to dump anywhere from ten to fifteen inches of rain -- some isolated amounts up to twenty inches over 36 hour period. We overnight rain chances of 50% to -- right now would increase to 80%. Later in the day. Than a 100% on Wednesday and of course we'll forms -- we'll be heavy at times and possibly for quite some time. Cloudy skies right now on both sides of the late 83 degrees and we are very international and Canadian Slidell. At the airport in general these winds now gusting to 33 miles an hour.

Seven to two separate -- here's a text passing a truck carrying a lot of transformers. Headed east on -- twelve. And I 55 and we have received a lot of texts and phone calls people have. I reported its electric cut electrical trucks and energy trucks again should say the bucket trucks. And those have been dreading coming into New Orleans a military type vehicles have been coming in New Orleans and out transformers are coming in. It is really admirable. To see how well coordinated everything is and again this is not the this is not the most serious storm we're gonna have it in our in our lifetime. But it just really good to see how coordinated. Everybody has been with this -- here's a text and hello from Washington DC. I -- wrote out both Betsy and Camille as a kid in weight than Mississippi while our house was across the street from City Hall. Was that before or after the storm. Because I mean it was that was in saying a storm surge for Camille was eight feet. In our house. Lucky we had a warehouse on one side and a two story bar grille on the other. Dead just bought a brand new Shelby caprice. While which float down -- which floated down the street. I remember a fire that burned down -- -- downtown district on Coleman avenue Dan would not let -- kids leave the house. As we found out. Later he was. Oh while he was out with locals retrieving bodies. And very few people. Stranded. Or injured to this day I will always remember the wins. And the water is a text and enjoying the show and that is from -- hail and do you have early memories what what are some of your earliest memories. Of hurricane tore our tropical storm. And I remember in the mid nineties I forget the name of the tropical storm but this would have been 9596. There was a tropical storm coming and I remember going to a concert with the band live. The band live at the municipal auditorium. Again it was it was at the municipal. It was at the municipal auditorium. And I decided to go even though this tropical storm was coming -- of the place was was packed. I have a feeling that if you're usually out at this time. Maybe you're maybe you're still out from last night. May be he your job as you getting up this early to start work I'm assuming that if you're out now. You might see that things are a lot calmer. Then they would be ordinarily. Even though it's just a Tuesday morning. Can't even though today was a Monday afternoon when I walked through the -- the French Quarter I went to the quarter to do a couple of reports for a for -- annual -- And walking down -- street I saw him at two girls I would say they're in their twenties. And each one was it was -- too big bags filled with groceries from the arouses in the first quarter. And I did a report with them in and and I and they didn't wanna say where they were from the they had strong accent sounded like maybe they were from Germany and and they had -- they had a lot of snacks. And I said do you what do you have any anything to drink this and yes we are orange juice and something else and I said do you have anything to mix with the orange juice not in the bag but we have -- their room and they said we've heard about the parties. And so they were really they were really cute and and it you know if you're in a hotel your your your safe. If your hotel I'm assuming that there would be a generator I'm a little concerned about the apartment in building I live in not in terms of anything happening. But there's no generator there's a generators that maintains. Delights in the building. An air conditioning in the hallway. But not in the individual apartment -- of the electricity goes -- which is that it's not that likely to happen. In the CBD is certainly can't happen but it's not that likely to happen because you're not. Vulnerable to the trees that fall and and and -- snapped the lines and transformers ago ought to mean anything can happen and -- may end up losing electricity. But my windows don't open its. That kind of building it's a renovated building it is building night live it was built in I think nineteen -- five. So it's quite solid and the windows are designed to. Withstand winds up to 200 miles per hour. And I'm on a high floor so I'm not concerned at all. -- my furniture are not concerned at all about my belongings. I would be a little concerned if the meat that I happen to -- -- does go bad. I don't close it up to I'm closer to home from the station that if I do get a break I guess I can run home and if the electricity goes out and start throwing stuff so I don't have that much stuff in Arabic. Hi it's always sudden it's always inconvenient when you have to do without electricity. If you wanna join our show this morning our numbers 260187. He had early it's early memories of of hurricane. I guess my early I mean I know we went through tropical storms before them but I guess my earliest memories of hurricane. I would have been Hurricane Betsy. And I guess that would have been about nineteen now I'm 1965. In fact I think we were scheduled to start school. And as school was postponed because of Hurricane Betsy and as I said we live kinda close to the lake in Metairie. Where I grew up fans. My dad said you know just in case we're gonna go to -- -- there's there's been this there's been this historical fear. Made if a storm comes up the release. And insulate punch train that it would dump the lake into the city. So where there were a couple of times that we did evacuate and I do remember evacuate their best who went down to the hotel -- on. And their -- to storm out there. Here is a text that -- so bad wreck on -- 55 past me and Shaq. Cops clearing it now one lane is still open not too much traffic -- built up yet -- -- and tries carefully out there. Here is a text that reads that numbers to report to but at too high price yeah okay so I just gave up in Iran given out again. In a few minutes. But there's -- I'll give -- chance to maybe get somewhere where you can write something down if you do if you -- prices that are. Outrageous. If you think somebody is taking advantage of view. Because of it this storm then you need to report that those are not good people. And they should be reported and they should be punished. And -- at that embryo again in just a moment. Here is a -- -- my wife works for energy corporation she is in Jackson Mississippi now. Because the corporate office has moved its emergency headquarters to Jackson. -- companies do that they will they will move outside of not an area this is this going to be hit by a storm. She is a part of the emergency response coordination team for energy and it's again it's nice to to know that that there's so much that his didn't. A proactive about to the preparations for this and I really think. Mayor Maureen how has done an -- -- or I think mayor Landrieu has done an excellent job. In preparing people making people think about all the possibilities. But at the same time. Hasn't been. And alarmist and nobody has in Jefferson Parish president John youngest and a great job doing on the western. -- and his parish and the list goes on the parish presidents all of this is a very very. Well orchestrated. Effort -- almost reminds me sometimes there of the that the saints offense when the saints offense is just really in -- This entire area is in sync. And while we can't depend on government and politicians to take care of us. Is it it is nice to know that we can feel secure in knowing that they have done their job. And this is what we elect them to do we elect them to do the things that government can do forest government can't do everything for us. The government can do some things forest. And we depend on them to to do their job win. They there in a position to do their job at a time like this. And I think I think we can all look back on dude did this state. And the city. And even the country. Before Katrina. We've all changed and learned a lot since Katrina and I think we can look at how chaotic. It all wise. During Katrina. Well that's not happening anymore. Consider building you're on WWL. Little taste good I don't -- and that has won the -- in -- -- there is one can't station cannot. Then have seen -- let's go three hours that is open and has asked and that's Brothers. Between Williams and -- would drop on veterans and I would assume that there's online there. He thought it was so I was just me and another guy didn't ask about an hour ago. But I they have food and everything -- All right Melvin I appreciate that in United's if somebody is -- driving around and they. They haven't gotten -- so they haven't gotten their water the food that they need maybe they need to go there. Well they -- west don't have as they take you get offered veterans legal. Didn't get off at Williams and -- Williams to veterans and up that turns into gas and backbone and a staple loyal. All right Melvin thanks a lot that's -- going to be some good information for some people driving around effective you're sitting at home when you haven't gotten some things you need maybe you should get up and and get -- now. If you know -- Tony for our place you might wanna get it now. The weather is gonna start to deteriorate. Again we will get the next big update on tropical storm -- Is it going to finally become a hurricane we don't know. And it is it is it looks like it will be a minimal hurricane and I tell you you know who won once thought here. All of us who have had sent prayers. There must be working. Because is -- had a chance to become a really bad -- Going over the Gulf of Mexico. But they were some drier air that got sucked into the store. And to me that is just such a blessing and such an answer to prayers. So our prayers have worked now we're not through this yet it's not even here yet. But with what we see coming. It looks like we're gonna all be okay and I agree with mayor Landrieu what he said earlier today I believe we're going to be fine -- welcome to -- WL. Tonight not do was. Abducted you know right now and they have one guard Michael at opposite -- But don't count on it. They are usually out at this time. I just got off work at -- -- about actress and normally don't -- saw no portion of. I assume you're usually out does that say you usually see more cars and you're saying are. Do it doesn't not come at all but -- portrait current -- spot. Enemy and he is what's called a double to go look today. And all of a barge out here. I doubted that very little. -- -- -- One prominent California. A lack of true. Wanna comment on that will prompt. But I would like asserted doctor little bar chart that is all. But the fact that we're get. It'll -- trouble already ordered leverage. It's not a whole lot -- -- -- runner who know it on the situation as a player. And I don't think areas. Or amateur as a potential market -- or gambling. Or urged all people ordered a bit throughout the global war went well. That's right -- it's a good idea. That's a good idea I mean that is the best thing that you could do to. Retaliate is don't do business with somebody let him dialect and pay the price for a gouging your offense and he would they didn't. -- all right Gary be safe. About it I don't know I YouTube.

There's not going to be electric at all but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take it seriously -- you have a house there's things you need to do around your house and you need to be prepared if you lose electricity and if you. You don't have the things that you might need to exist for a day two or maybe even in the worst case may be among our worst case scenario could be a three days. It has to be a lot of wind and rain there could be some flooding depending on where you live. And also they are going to be some some downed. And -- trees and downed lines and maybe some transformers blow but it's not going to be like Katrina. OK and I appreciate that you think ever on the levees everything's gonna hold up. So that's absolutely you know the way the levees are built right down. Since they've been built up since Katrina. It's almost like this storm is like a pre season game for the -- as opposed to a championship game there and they're not gonna be challenged that much at least that's what we're expecting so you should be tried don't.
