🌀 As we gear up for the potential impacts from TD9 which could be #Ida later today or tonight there are a few thing we would like everyone to understand and be prepared for. #LAwx #MSwx 
💆 DO NOT PANIC! Be prepared, stay up to date, and try to remain calm. You have time IF you begin today. If the track continues as forecast, conditions will likely begin to go downhill late Saturday. This gives you today, Friday, & even early Saturday. #LAwx #MSwx
Make sure you get your information from reliable sources. Federal sources are @NWS @NWSLakeCharles @NWSJacksonMS @NWSShreveport @NWSMobile @NWSHouston @NHC_Atlantic @NWSWPC @NWSSPC @fema @femaregion4 @FEMARegion6 #LAwx #MSwx
📺 📻 Other reliable resources is any of the local and national media meteorologist. We have 3 media markets in our area Baton Rouge, Coastal MS, & New Orleans. We also have 4 others that cover the outskirts of our area. Alexandria, Jackson MS, Lafayette, and Mobile AL.
🌀 Even if you were here for Hurricane Zeta, you have NOT gone through a Category 3 hurricane. Yes Zeta was upgraded to a Cat 3 at landfall but those winds were confined to a very small section of the immediate coast. Most only experienced strong Tropical Storm to high end Cat 1.
🌀 Understand every storm is different. You may have gone through numerous but each storm has different impacts. Isaac may have "only" been a Cat 1 but surge was historic in some areas. Rita brought us tornadoes and surge, Gustav brought wind. Don't rely on previous experiences
