Headed to Dallas I'm in Thibodaux if it doesn't turn to the west it's coming right at my *** and if it does go to the west I'm still on the bad side. I was in Marrero for Katrina and lost everything that i didn't take with me . I'm just hoping this isn't a repeat lol Good luck to everyone and be safe!!
