Local met just said TS Cindy expected to pass directly over St Bernard Parish, and yes that's me.
Could possibly be minimal hurricane.

I really think Cindy might make it to a minimal cat 1.

TS winds inland, but cat 1 winds on the coastline and open waters.

I'm ok with a minimal hurricane, now if Cindy was a Cat 3 or more I would have something to worry about it.
