Tulane at the Tigue (game canceled)

[double d]

Just because it isn't raining at the Tigue doesn't make it a bad call. Six plus inches of rain in the Western portion of the state. Lafayette schools closed tomorrow and storms already between here and New Orleans. I was on I-10 earlier today and I don't think putting a bus on the road late tonight would be wise with the winds and potential storms. Unfortunately weather forecasting can't get granular enough to predict specific locations. Its just a baseball game and they are going to attempt to re-schedule.

We had a game with LSU cancelled under the same situation a few years ago. Didn't get a drop of rain at Turchin but I live 20 miles up river and we had 3 inches and hail.

It isn't just the rain. At 4:00 P.M. we had gust to 38 mph and in the past hour they have been up to 28 mph. I think that played a big role in the decision as well.

it's almost 10:00 and still not a drop of rain............

I was up at 2 this morning...rain still had yet to fall in Mire...20 miles west of Lafayette.

It rained bad from 5-6 and that's about it. Where is this 100 year storm? Where is this cataclysmic event that caused everyone to shut down schools and run for higher ground in a pants wetting panic? Kids are getting a free day off, while the school board has to sit back and remind themselves how bad the weather is. "They said it was gonna hail, right?" "They said there was gonna be tornadoes, right?" "No way anyone can learn on a day like this, right?"

Ridiculous, just a little rain and wind people. Damn America has become sissified. Cajun90, those "storms" that were developing in baton rouge and new Orleans, those are called showers, because that's all they were. We of all people from south Louisiana being scared of rain, just ridiculous. Before anybody starts justifying about safety of the children and all this other sissified nonsense, I don't care, it's rain people not a blizzard, rain.

See. I told you so. And your concern over the winds is hilarious. If winds were the case they could never play baseball in Oklahoma or Texas. Once again our weather service tried to err on the side of caution but the warnings were WAY over the top. According to the weather channel Lafayette had just over 1 inch of rain in the last 24 hours.
