New Orleans is obviously not in a good spot, like on the side of an active volcano. Take a look sometime. It is as exposed as Galveston was in 1900. I am reminded of Venice, which is, sadly, sinking into the sea.
I don't know about him but I'm tired. I'm no storm watcher though. I'm an internet storm chaser:') Seriously, I'm praying for these people. Hopefully this storm will drop like they often do.
Wow.......things are picking up.
Howdy back!
That was on the Mississippi coast and if they want to leave, the roads are clear. Jim Cantore (a genuinely nice human being) of the Weather Channel is staying in the same building with them.

You are confusing power and work. Work is force times distance ... Power is the rate of work
Oops - you are dead on. Power is force times distance per unit of time. But still my "force of my half-ton ass on the couch provides -no- power until the couch is broken" is true.
A great start would be donating blood tomorrow.

And the even bigger problem - where are you going to move them to? Anyplace within 150 miles is likely going to need its own shelters for local needs before this is over. (And the nearest non- coastal cities within easy range (Jackson and Baton Rouge) are both under 250,000 population. No way either of them could handle another 50,000 folks - both are packed with folks that got themselves that far. The nearest big cities are Houston, Dallas, Memphis and Birmingham.

101 gust near the southeast shore of Louisiana.
The square got lost. Should read:
The energy of that mass of air being moved is 1/2mv2
Prayers for all in the area.....we're thinking and praying for you...
Teaching is a gift, for sure. Thank you very much for the kind compliments.
FoxNews just reported 25,000 people inside the SuperDome.
Thank you. That is very kind of you. You are the best. In fact, you are one of my favorites.
You clearly don't get it. No other location is located in a bowl 8' below sea level. Completely different situation from evacuations in other parts of the country. The storm surge is where massive death occurs, and this is the only place in the US where such Bangladesh-type deaths could occur on a massive scale. There is a good chance that by this time tomorrow nights we will have had more deaths than any disaster in US history. A completely preventable WTC, predicted for decades, yet the city and state ended up being far too unprepared.
I attend OU football games with 80,000+ of my dearest friends and they always are announcing which exits to use in case of an emergency. They have a contingency in place for everything. Should have been one for a city that sits on the Gulf that is under sea level if you ask me.
I had not looked at it that way, but I did some research and came up with this...
