Not sure about the red and yellow areas ... but even though that radar map covers the NOLA area in green, there’s no rain here except the occasional drizzle.

Most of the people here (on the Atchafalaya), including myself, pronounce it like"Growing up", I always heard it pronounced Chafalaya. (With the "At" dropped.)
Anybody else heard it pronounced that way???
We were this > < close in 1973. If an emergency repair had failed , it was estimated the river was less than 12 hours away from changing its course.

Where I grew up we had the Ouachita River.
Pronounced "Wash-a-taw" of course.
We had a national reporter pronounce it "O-cheat-ta".
This is why I had to move...lol.I live less than one mile from this river. I'd be a rich man if I had a dollar for everytime a non local mispronounced it/

I dont know that I wouls call it odd,considering hurricane season starts june 1st. August/September is generally the peak thoughI've never been in a hurricane or tropical storm but is it normal for this to be happening in early July? This just seems really odd. I thought that area usually deals with this around August or September?

Typically, named storms outside of August & September tend to be milder and less damaging, especially regarding windspeeds.I've never been in a hurricane or tropical storm but is it normal for this to be happening in early July?
