    Heading to Shreveport in a hour or so....With the storm what do you all think is the best option ? Up through MS and LA on US98 AND US49 ? or just stick the interstates I-10>I-49 even though it's more miles ? Not sure how the flooding will be on those US highways

    Going 98/49 via Jackson might have less disruption due to the storm dying more. Going thru Baton Rouge might take longer as some weather problems from the 2 storms.

    I’d stay outside of Shreveport is possible. Make sure your load is secure. It isn’t the smoothest ride through there lol
