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...

We can probably breathe a collective sigh of relief butSUNDAY
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 09:13 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...
