Katrina was a Cat 3 when it made landfall

[Crazieman]

Failed to anticipate the damage Cuba would cause to the storm.

When Gustov was stronger, it favored easterly tracks. Weaker, the weather around it is forcing it more west.

By the way, I don’t normally feek a poster on their first day here. But welcome to the forum.

if it’s going west of NOLA, it could be really bad depending upon how far west. The worst storm surge is in the NE part of a hurricane. The waves and surge could easily swamp the levees, overfill the lake and cause massive flooding..IF it’s close enough west to do that..

anyone here feek me?

Despite the stories, I'm not that kind of boy.

[BfloGuy]

The media only hopes it will be another Katrina. It won’t. The, um, demographics have changed in New Orleans.

I thought feeking was against policy.

The worst part of a hurricane is the northeast quadrant, so if it tracks west the heavier winds, heavier storm surge and better possiblity of tornado activity could have a greater effect on NO. It is still a very strong Cat 3 storm...a few miles per hour more and it’ll be a Cat 4, not much of a difference when 3 and 4 are that close....also you could have less storm surge with a Cat 4 at low tide then a Cat 3 at the peak of high tide

You have to be stuned before the feeking begins.

This is not another Katrina. Katrina hit Mississippi harder than La. or the city of N.O. Gustav may cause La. more problems than Katrina did - a cat 3 hurricane is trouble.

The big problem is that Shep Smith is now reporting from the Quarter in New Orleans. That fact in itself will put this hurricane and its effects on La. right up there with the biggest disasters to ever hit the U.S.A.!

I hardly know you...

Katrina actually hit east of New Orleans, Gustav is going to hit west of New Orleans, putting the city to the east of the center of the storm. Regardless, being close to the eye is just as bad as being in it. Also, the east side of the Hurricane is the worst side of the storm (AKA Dirty Side). I've been though 7 storms myself. NO is going to deal with the worst (East) side of Gustav.

I live in the Northwest Florida and I am feeling the effect of it already.

One more time , ole Blue moved when he heard that,durn lazy dog.

I don't see how you can be worried about your own personal gratification when there's a major storm approaching!!

[RichInOC]

No. You need to go feek yourself.

[Sue Perkick]

Sorry. I don’t know you well enough to feek you. And you’re gonna have to at least buy me dinner first.

[I still care]

Ok, that’s it. I’m going into the shower.

But before I do, I sticking this in my “free republic funny” folder.
