In Lafayette, being on the west side of the storm would result in greatly reduced -- but non-negligible -- impacts from the storm. Largely, rain and gusty winds would be the primary impacts felt from the storm, as the hurricane force winds would likely not be felt in that area.
The track can change at this point, bringing it further west, but right now most of the guidance is clustered near New Orleans. Stay appraised of the situation and be ready to take precautions, just in case the guidance changes and it appears that the storm may go a bit further west. Better safe than sorry, I feel, but not going overboard.
I'm heading out for the night, but there will be others around to help take you into the morning hours. Have a good night everyone, and stay safe.
