Yup, but being trapped is better than being drowned. An alternative is to break into an office building on Canal Street, and climb up a few flights.
It looks like a couple models, not counting xtrp, are showing a bit further west.
You are correct. I would wipe-out Morgan City.
Nice graphic. Thanks for posting!
Gas will shoot up extremely high on Monday possibly even start tomorrow....at least that is what I think.
I agree, I was talking about Hitlery ;) Can you imagine the peril on a national scale?
After what I heard today anyone who voted for her would have to be brain dead. Her comments about 'this being a positive experience for everyone as long as we cooperate' were more than I could stand. Ah, forget about it!
lol--I've never been told officially that was the cause...I thought it was my singing.
Is that 20' at the coast, or at NO? Apparently the complex of levees protecting the south bank communities would blunt some of this from the south (or at least the wave action), but would the winds along the storm's topside from the east produce the max surge heights that the overall movement from the south produces? Also, I have yet to recall a hurricane where the storm surge (AFAWK) actually was as high as predicted. But then again, there is a big difference between 10' and 20'.
Decades of knowing the catastrophic risk, yet they never could convince themselves to fund more than a Maginot Levee.
Third is 1935, Florida Keys. Unnamed, obviously.
Sobering read.
Here's the last two, including the one I just put up. Some are further west initially, but most are a tad east at landfall.

There were 3 main events for the 1811-1812 sequence, all now regarded as Moment magnitude 7 to 8....and of course many 5-6 range aftershocks interspersed within them.
The North American continent wasn't and isn't ripping apart. The earthquakes occured on a a very old "failed" rift wher the continent began to split and stopped. The general stress of the movement of North America westwards does build up in the rift and cause the quakes, but the continent is not separating in the NMSZ and isn't going to.

You are a 1.
Camille was a large storm.
On a clear night you can pick up WWL all the way to Tennessee
Dang, I said this storm reminded me of Betsy...looking at the chart you linked to, and the strike probability charts I've been seeing, they look mighty close to each other...
