    Fun fact: other than fried shrimp at Red Lobster and a crawfish pasta dish at Walk-Ons (Baton Rouge, #LA; right across from LSU's stadium), I have never eaten shellfish.

    Learning to block numbers from 225, 337, 504 area codes on sight.

    Sorry if there’s ever a legit call from #Louisiana. The spam callers are currently spoofing #LA numbers multiple times per day.

    For the past few days, the $EMPLOYER cellphone has been getting an increased number of spam calls. I don’t answer any of them, and I block each number after the fact (despite knowing the numbers are spoofed, I know they will sometimes re-use a number).

    So far, every number is from #Louisiana. The marketers are likely NOT in #LA, but they are just spoofing numbers there.

    1. Louisiana congressman-elect Luke Letlow dies at 41 of COVID-19 complications
      Letlow had announced his COVID-19 diagnosis just 11 days prior to his death.

    post-tropical cyclone #Zeta continues to move rapidly. The center of the storm is over Delaware, about to cross into the ocean (most of the storm is already at sea). Yesterday afternoon / evening, it was heading into Louisiana and Mississippi.

    #NOAA / #NHC has issued its last advisory about the storm. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    Along the way, parts of #DE #MD #VA #NJ #NC #TN #KY #WV #LA #MS #AL were under the storm. Hopefully, because of its speedy motion, there will be less damage across most of that path.

    It looks like the center of #Hurricane #Zeta is moving onshore near New Orleans, #LA, right about now. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ I haven't seen any news stories about evacuations, but there must be. I don't know how high the storm surge is, but a high surge can ride inland for a few miles, meaning that normally dry land temporarily becomes part of the ocean.

    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/

    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.
