Simply...YIKE!
I hope that they all get out of dodge in time!!!
Dear God!
I have 2 nieces in Slidell....they packed up the families and left for Florida...one told me that there are no motels/hotels anywhere north.
i see a lot of doomsdayers out tonight...lets at least wait and see if the thing strengthens or not...its been stuck at 115 mph for a while now.....its a long way to cat 5
potential...yes...but its not a given right now.
when/if it gets to strong cat 4 then lets debate the doomsday scenarios....of which there is plenty of debate.
wtf?? moron! I would call it NOW! with the last model updates there is no doubt and people should leave NOW! while the traffic is low and the rains/winds have not started.

Thanks for the site. It will simply be like a ship, awash. Frightening. They must all leave. I think I need to turn on the TV. I've been seriously out of the loop on this.
Thanks again.
When you see a huge hurricane that is pulling in air mass all the way from the Atlantic ocean and west of south America, IT IS WISE to pay attention and evacuate. Why stick around guessing with peoples lives in the balance.
The latest from NHC suggest that the wind field is expanding. Interesting that a 939 mb pressure should equate to higher wind speed than 115 MPH. Not sure if that is due though to increased wind field though. Basically, it is getting bigger but not necessarily stronger right now. Starting to make the turn too it would seem.
Thanks!
That is one scary scenario....I used to live in New Orleans...and I am scared for my friends still there....I was there for Huricane Betsy and so remember what a bad storm could do when the city was a bit higher and smaller...that tracking map scares the pants off me and I don't even live there any more...
I'm still pretty sure that when we thought Floyd was coming, they evacuated the poor and elderly from Savannah to Macon on school buses.
im not speaking about evacuation.....im talking about the doomsday...nola will be wiped off the map...foolishness.
As my daddy says, "The Fool Killer didn't get 'em all . . . but he's working on it."
RE: 1017, that's impressive. Yikes!
