    I’m positive I couldn’t see THIS prison from the highway, but I did see an old prison near the #LA - #MS border. From “the time when they knew how to punish people”.

    I’ve never beed incarcerated, but my impression is that modern US prisons are still horrible, but much less so than they used to be.

    Mark told me that the news showed quite a bit of damage in #AL from #Hurricane #Sally. I hope there are no chemical plants in that area. There were a few days of "shelter in place" in #LA after a recent hurricane caused a fire at such a plant.

    Glanced at PowerOutage.us ... looks like Cameron Parish, #LA, is still about 85% without power. Overall, it looks like 45% of the state is out. Most is due to #hurricane #Laura that went through the state a couple of weeks back.

    There's an important caveat in that PowerOutage does not track all of the state's electric providers, so its figures could be high OR low.

    Hmm. I've noticed that no one ever seems to have a positive impression of #IA. I've worked for months at a time in some neighboring states ( #NE, #MO, #KS ) and never had a similar impression about them. What's especially bad about Iowa?

    (I've also worked in #MS and #LA, so I might just have a rosier view.)

    #Laura is now a #TropStorm, since about 13:00 US-Central. The storm is known to have caused 4 deaths since it landed last night. https://nu.federati.net/url/274415 [www upi com]

    However, the storm moved through #LA and #TX pretty quickly, so it appears to have caused less damage than expected.

    1. Tropical Storm Laura: Mass power outages in Louisiana and Texas; 4 dead
      Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses were without electricity in Louisiana and Texas on Thursday and at least four people died after Hurricane Laura arrived on land as a Category 4 storm.

    I really only know one person in #LA ... a former #Fediverse member (and #HPR contirbutor) who is a professor at one of the state universities.

    Unfortunately, he’s really busy, and I don’t really have a channel to ask how things are going.

    In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical storms have formed: #TropStorm Hernan and TS Iselle. Current forecasts expect the storms to turn westward and dissipate around Sunday/Monday.

    In the Atlantic / Gulf of Mexico, #Hurricane #Laura is a category 4 storm, expected to bring storm surge up to 20 feet above normally-dry ground. Still expected to reach the #TX / #LA shore this evening. Still rated "extremely dangerous".

    This isn't #TheWeatherChannel saying this (e.g., there's no commercial motivation). This is #NOAA / #NHC.

    Major #Hurricane #Laura still heading toward the #TX / #LA border area as a Category 4. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    Note: extremely dangerous ... if you’re in that area and have not prepared, get on the road NOW.

    Looking at #NOAA / #NHC site: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    #TropStorm #Marco is starting to break apart as it makes landfall in #LA. Expected to become post-tropical depression by late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

    TS #Laura expected to become a hurricane tomorrow, head for #TX or LA, with landfall Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.

    #NOAA / #NHC: #Hurricane #Marco is in the Gulf of Mexico. Current projections say it should weaken before it makes landfall some time tomorrow along #MS - #LA - #TX coastline.

    #TropStorm #Laura is over and West of Hispaniola ( #Haiti and #DR ), expected to go over #Cuba before entering the Gulf tomorrow night / Tuesday morning and becoming a hurricane itself. Looks like it may hit near the Texas - Louisiana state border on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

    It looks like #TropStorm #Marco has moved North and East relative to yesterday’s forecast, so the new projection has it striking Southeast #LA as a hurricane on Monday 2020-08-24. TS #Laura is over and to the West of #PR. The #NOAA / #NHC forecast shows it going right over Hispaniola and Cuba (with some impacts in the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. Current projection shows Laura striking Louisiana as a hurricane on Wednesday 2020-08-26, two days after Marco lands.

    They note in the discussion for both tropical cyclones that there is a lot of uncertainty in the forecasts, so big changes could occur between now and landfall.

    Latest #NOAA / #NHC forecast track has #TropStorm #Marco becoming a hurricane today or tonight, then weakening Monday and being pushed West into #TX on Tuesday or Wednesday. TropStorm #Laura now expected to go across Hispaniola and Cuba, becoming a hurricane overnight Monday-Tuesday and hitting #LA Wednesday night.

    Looking at the #NOAA / #NHC site. #TropStorm #Marco forms, should pass over part of the #Yucatan, then head across the Gulf toward #TX or #LA. To the east of that, TropStorm #Laura is bigger, but sloppy. Expected to pass near or over #PR, Hispaniola ( #DR and #Haiti), #Cuba, #Caymans, #Bahamas, then enter the Gulf of Mexico before becoming a hurricane

    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    As always, these forecasts are based on mathematical models, and real-world situations almost always differ from models. If you're in the US Southeast or the Gulf Coast, you should take precautions as though one or both storms could change course and visit you.

    #TropStorm #Laura forms in the Atlantic ( formerly #TD13 and Invest 98L ). Expected to track North of #PR / #USVI / #BVI, go through the Bahamas and approach #FL as a hurricane.

    #TD14 (formerly Invest 97L) expected to become TropStorm #Marco today or tomorrow, track toward Yucatan, then into the Gulf of Mexico and toward #TX, #LA coasts.

    My #SoCal hometown is having another day that exceeds 100F / 38C outside. Inside temperature is 96F / 36C.

    Slightly hotter than some parts of Sacramento #CA, but lower than Phoenix #AZ. Some clouds rolling in, so maybe we’ll have some overcast ... or maybe even a little rain.

    We have not yet had the traditional August rainstorm. (Cools things off that day, but then the next day or two return to full heat, only now they have humidity that feels akin to parts of #LA or #MS.)

    > ... the [US] South and China, two places where people know how to eat.

    I haven't been to #China, so I have no opinion on their food (except I know it differs from what we know as #Chinese_food in the US). However, I have worked in #Alabama, #Mississippi, and #Louisiana.

    Overall, I was not impressed. #LA had the best food of the three, but it was usually so highly salted that I quickly went back to putting some rice, meat, and beans in a slow-cooker.

    The exception was lunchtime: whenever I could make it there, I went to a particular gas station in Baton Rouge to buy lunch. Imagine Popeye's Famous Louisiana chicken, but turned up to 11! (Or maybe Popeye's took the gas station recipe and dialed it down a notch or two.) Anyway, that was good, though that much fried food is naturally unhealthy.

    ( @p@freespeechextremist.com won't see this, but that's okay. )

    #NOAA / #NHC

    Atlantic: #TD7 is now #TropStorm #Gonzalo, expected to become a hurricane tomorrow. There is still something spinning up in the Gulf of Mexico, heading WNW toward #TX and #LA, but its chances of becoming a damaging storm are low.

    Pacific: TropStorm #Douglas is now a #hurricane and still strengthening.
