I am wondering if they couldn't get some of those huge transport planes into the airports ansd start flying out those who are without transportation and means, those who are ill or homebound...
How many can fit in those huge planes, and how many planes would be needed. If they did it right, with planes landing and taking off every 20 minutes, it might help a bit, if they can get people to the airport....
If she makes landfall SE Louisiana Monday morning--that's high tide. Grand Isle and Terrebonne Bay high tides are 7:20AM, and 8:28AM respectively.
making a bad problem even worse.
Wow. This could shape up to be a tremendous disaster and make Andrew look like nothing.
Above the Royal Gorge in Colorado. 1,000 feet down, don't fall off!
I remember our neighbor next to our camp in Grand Isle that lived there telling the story of how H Betsy destroyed everything there except for 2 camps. And one of them was next door to our camp. He said he found his refridgerator 12 miles away.
Many, many other stories about Betsy.
Nope.
Those are big rats, right? (am I'm not talking DemocRATS, LOL.)
FNC keeps showing I-10; it's flowing at a snails pace. No wonder people don't want to evacuate. Anyone who doesn't load up and leave early isn't going to make it out.
Bizzare. Can someone shed some light onto WHY the traffic is moving so slowly? I can understand the left lane being sluggish due to absorbing incoming traffic, and other lanes being slowed by merging traffic, but it looks to be nearly a standstill. It certainly explains the reservations people have about being caught in their cars.
I've driven that road a couple of times and can't remember how many lanes there are,,, thinking at least 4, maybe 5.
When this is over, LA residents should storm the Captiol and DEMAND a revision of evacuation plans.
I think those rats are big enough to eat cats.

4pm central projected track remains the same, NO.
Wonderful. Add another foot or so to the floodwaters in New Orleans.
I wonder where the Saints will play their home games for the next couple of months.
You are seeing three lanes of traffic trying to accommodate an evacuation of over 1 million people. They will open the other direction to outbound traffic very soon.
Good thought. Empty freight cars can carry loads of people. Actually, my only time in NO was passing through on a train, but it was a passenger route, not the hobo variety. Prayers especially for the poor, sick, and disadvantaged.
Maybe not too far off <g> Gov. Blanco is a member of the same national college sorority as Washington's Gov. Christine Gregoire.
No kidding. You'll have to scroll down the page to find them, but according to her bio there, Gov. Blanco is a former HS business teacher.
<banging head on desk and crawling away in shame because I happen to be member of the same sorority... aaaarrrrgghhh>
Y'all be safe.
I was just talking to my son about this. I'd say -- with a direct hit at Cat4 or Cat5 -- the Aints won't have any home games for a couple of months, as the water should be halfway up the Lodge Level in the Dome.
Terrebonne Bay high tide is +1.2ft. Grand Isle is +1.5.
