I hope Isaac is just strong enough to make the Occupy and Code Pink people so miserable they’ll look for another venue to occupy; but not strong enough to do any real damage. I hope and pray it’ll be nothing Obama can use for a crisis to exploit.

My prayers as well.

“FWIW, Katrina actually missed New Orleans.”

Thank YOU, TheRiverNile!

Lordy, y’all! Issac is nowhere near as bad as Katrina!

First, Isaac, no matter where it hits, will be a CAT 1, or 2, and has not been much stronger, if that strong, before now.

Katrina spent most of her life in the Gulf as a CAT 5, and her storm surge, plus the fact that she was a big, fat, slow hurricane, did the damage to MS.

(I have friends on the MS coast who said that living through Katrina was like living through a 24 hour tornado.)

Secondly, Katrina didn’t do the damage to NOLA.

THE LEVEES BROKE SEVERAL DAYS LATER! I blame that on corrupt government, of which NOLA is known to have.

Sheesh...as one who has been through hurricanes, I don’t understand the drama on this thread.

Thank you, Twinkie. I totally concur with your comment.
