    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"...

    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.
    We can probably breathe a collective sigh of relief but
    IMHO the pier 'dodged a bullet' this go-round :-)

    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...
