I know this might be a stupid question, will the storm shut down the pier? And if it does, what's the time length on it normally re-opening.

Now that 'Karen' has been "EXPOSED"...
Gulf of Mexico Visible Imagery - Satellite Services Division
it appears the (non) decision to prepare for it (at the pier) was the correct one.
Still Sunday into Sunday night looks to be the roughest water in a while...

SUNDAY
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. SOUTHEAST WINDS 29 TO
34 KNOTS. SEAS 7 TO 10 FEET BUILDING TO 9 TO 13 FEET IN THE
AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
SUNDAY NIGHT
SOUTHWEST WINDS 25 TO 30 KNOTS BECOMING NORTHWEST
18 TO 23 KNOTS AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS 7 TO 10 FEET SUBSIDING TO 5 TO
7 FEET AFTER MIDNIGHT.
IMHO the pier 'dodged a bullet' this go-round :-)Last edited by Pier#r; 10-05-2013 at 08:13 AM.

Noon update:
NHC reports the convection has 'refired' near the center of circulation of TS Karen.
This should help it maintain minimal TS status as it makes for landfall somewhere in SE Louisiana overnight then skirts the AL coast Sunday as a tropical depression.
Look for the gustiest winds in those squalls east of the center...

The Following User Says Thank You to Pier#r For This Useful Post:
Absolutely! That would be great. Always enjoy meeting folks and talking while fishing together. The pier is a special place but mostly so because of the special folks that fish there!
