Odds are there will be debris flying around in 100 mph winds.
As already discussed ad nauseum on these threads, ALL of the plans for New Orleans call for 72 hours to evacuate. They have for YEARS.
This guy had from Friday afternoon to DO SOMETHING......and he didn't........he waited till Bush called him and told him to order an evacuation.
Which hurricane were you in?
No such thing on the page I am bring up from wwl.com
I am guessing letting that crowd in Sams Club would be a bad decision.
Because you, and many others, are.
Death and destruction. I pray that the storm just, out of the clear blue, vanishes. Failing that, that all the affected people find their way to safety.
I believe that the green of some lightning strikes comes from the copper in transformers vaporizing. However, I have seen red lightning also, don't know where that comes from.
This is the first I've heard about wild animals running loose. Hmm, I wonder who is honored with the cleanup task.
And high winds for hours cause a lot more damage....
You're right. The entire story is that folks on the Sanibel Causeway were prevented from returning to their homes despite reports of looters gaining access to the island by boat and stripping their homes. That won't happen again.
This year LE has made residents obtain mirror tags that clearly identify them as residents and furthermore most of us on the barrier islands know who the scumbags are/were that pilfered the houses on the islands.
It won't go down the same way again. Trust me.
Well, yes, that's most certainly true, but I've been outside in approximately 90-100mph winds and I'm still here.
There was no party. Only 23 people stayed at the apartments, eight died. The legend of the party is based on the story of one survivor and is vehemently denied by the others.
Amen to your prayer.
You're going to house 50,000 to 100,000 people at LSU by stacking them up in classrooms with chairs pushed in the corners?
Is it too soon to start praying for everybody in the path of this monster? I went through Agnes back in '72- that did a lot of damage all the way through upstate NY and Western PA- valleys filled up like bathtubs.
One hamlet along the Genesee River, Mudville, which was still recovering from the '67 flood, was literally wiped off the map- several people died. Multiply this by the entire Missippi and Ohio river valleys and we're talking biblical destruction.
Karl always does - I have no idea how he does it.
If you guys had some facts, this discussion wouldn't be so repetitive.
They DID bus some of the people at the Super Dome to Baton Rouge.
And if you have a plan in advance -- i.e., more than 12 hours before the storm hits, there are a million military bases around there, for starters.
Sending prayers for all those still stuck down there
The WWL people were talking about a 3D map of Katrina or something and they were all going. Oooooo Ahhhhhh. Anyone have a link to that site? (They couldnt show it on TV cause... they said they couldnt. I wanna see it.
Well, I don't think those animals were locked in a cage that's soon going to be several feet under water! As bad as things are, I don't think it would be a good idea to let the African lions roam the deserted streets of NO...then live thru it....talk about HUNGRY!
Ya' know what I've been wondering about all day? The sharks that have been biting and attacking people. With the water rising, etc., you know they are really gonna be in a "mood"... wonder what they are gonna do. :0
Don't worry, the gator's will eat them before they can cause any trouble... ;^)
