Tropical Storm Sally approaching the Louisiana Coast, and is projected to make landfall as a hurricane, and dump over twenty inches of rain at the coast.

Everyone from roughly the Alabama/Mississippi line to to Morgan City, Louisiana is under a Hurricane Watch or Warning. This, I believe includes New Orleans.

Any posters in this area should take extreme caution, especially if you are in New Orleans.

While people in New Orleans need to be cautious, if Sally continues on its projected path, they aren't the ones who need to be most worried.  It's the people on the right hand side of the path who face the worst of a hurricane. So it's the people on the Mississippi and Alabama coasts who are currently the ones facing the greatest danger, not the people of New Orleans.

And despite that my area in West Mobile saw next to nothing. A tree branch fell and smashed someone's windshield in the parking lot but uh.. that's about it.

West Mobile isn't on the coast.  You only had to worry about wind damage, not storm surge which is the most dangerous part of a storm.

It'll be interesting if Eta is retired from the list of backup names.

I'm pretty sure the procedure is not to retire a Greek name.

That said, Eta would make a great case for retirement.

What would they replace it with? A Roman name? An Egyptian name?

I'd assume they'd just remove it without replacement.

Perhaps they need to make preparations for regularly having more than 21 named storms by having a second list of names.
