SAME OLD STORMY, SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE
Tropical Depression #13 has become Tropical Storm Lee, and is looping around the City of New Orleans from the south to the west. It is too windy to pick up barges, too rough too cross the passes, and the Locks are closing today anyway. So sit tight and maintain a watch is the order of the weekend.
Yesterday, in spite of the sunshine, one could see the storm was getting close
By this morning, it looked like this, notice how the wind has torn up the white company flag on the pole
40 mph winds are whipping the willows like red-headed step-kids
Some boats are still working, as the Captain of the Port has yet to shutdown the Harbor

Stay safe!
Don't think I'd want to be on a small boat in winds that are bending the trees in half... Eep!
Will we be seeing a post later about your indoor storm activities? Be safe!
Let's go surfin' the Mississippi.
beautiful pics, we had a storm come through last night but it didn't offer any nice photos
Wow, you can really see the intensity of the wind there!
@AlterEgo909 - LTNS! How have you been? Happy Labor Day. There are a few broken branches, but no major damage where we are tied up.
@MelFamy - Happy Labor day! I am well, how are you?
@AlterEgo909 - I'm doing great! Keeping the ticker healthy, and still working. Have you started a family yet?
@MelFamy - Not yet, but soon!
@AlterEgo909 - I'm happy for you, come visit anytime.
Interesting how the storm varies in intensity from one area to another. My son was in the French Quarter for the entire weekend and said that it never rained enough for him to even use an umbrella. Yet where you were not very far away was very windy and rainy.
@AprilsPlace - Well, there are covered walkways between the bars........
@MelFamy - So that's what he was doing! Mom's are always the last to know.
