Amazing -- I would have been out of there long before today.
Thanks. It already looks too rough for me.
That question will be not be meaningful if a disater befalls the SuperDome.
I agree with you on the Red Cross disaster teams.
At 50 people per busload, we are talking 2,000 busloads in 1080 minutes. If 20 sites for boarding were established throughout the parish, this would be an average of 100 busloads per site over the course of 1080 minutes, or about 1 busload every ten minutes for the entire period of time. With lots of training and lots of practice and perfect execution, this might be possible. In reality, I agree that such a rate cannot reasonably be expected to be attained, without proper education of the public in advance as to what they would need to do, coupled with adequate equipment and flawless logistics.
I don't think this is an accurate statement.
Doesn't hydrogen glow green when it ionizes?
Radio station 870 has been not coming in here for several minutes. That can be atmosphere conditions sometimes. Anyone now hearing WWL radio?
Winds gusting to 90 in New Orleans over the past 30 minutes. Strong squalls sweeping through the city.
They had to keep some roads with inbound lanes, for people from out of state rushing in to evac their elderly parents, etc.
Dang! And the main part of the hurricane is not scheduled to hit for another seven hours. Cannot fathom the devastation this is going to cause.
Here's what ParadeCAM looks like on the side of Fat Harry's.
Here's how to locate the camera near the corner of St. Charles and Napoleon
"I'm really going to be honked off when the libs blame the president and the war for the hurricane"
It's always good to keep the focus on what's important, right?
POLITICS. Get a life loser
I've got WWL streaming
Amen.
any news on the latest pressure and winds.....it may be 150 or so instead of 160 if the storm is actually starting to weaken, but I am betting it still is close to 160.
Dear God, please let the levees hold...
If the levees do hold, all will know that it was the Hand of God that held them!
Got me, but someone on this expert-laden thread should know.
