Re: Gulf of Mexico System

I'm not sure what local weather subscription you are getting that information from, so I can't comment on it. I would say that your best bet is to follow official advisories from the NHC and the National Weather Service. Fox News said earlier this morning that this system could make landfall Saturday with 90mph winds, however, nothing that I've read from the two aforementioned agencies has indicated that this is going to happen.

That being said: The Governer of Louisiana HAS declared a "precautionary" State of Emergency and the LA National Guard has been activated. For more information on that, you can go to this site:
LA State Emergency Operations Page

Hope that helps you out!
