Just curious: do you know of any other city BELOW sea level that has been under threat of a BIG BAD hurricane for the last 100 years that doesn't have a plan?
"It will turn" is NOT a plan, Jeff.
You're either being deliberately obtuse or just damn disengenuous.
They HAVE a plan; FEMA has a plan...........but they didn't implement it IN TIME.
That'll mean about $1 more here in SoCal. ;)
Bet they could bus hundreds of thousands to the polls. Geez even the graves are above ground... all the more convenient for the circulation-challenged voters.
Jeff--I'm really beginning to believe you fibbed about ever being in a hurricane. Shame on you.

See 1626
N.O. caller evacuated to Baker, La.
Art "Why did your friends stay?"
Caller "Through the years, they havent lost much"...figure the most they can lose is the roof of their house
I heard the people are getting MRE's at the dome.
Is there going to be a test on that stuff after this thread is over? :-)
So you are saying that "these people" are just better off dead? I think every last one of them would rather be "crammed" into a knook for a week than drowning.
But that's just me. Call me crazy.
LOL!!! Planes are seeding the hurricane -- I like that one but can guarantee you someone will think it is true! :)
:-)
NNNW would be my way of describing it.
Keep watching the NWS page for alerts...that will be the first place you hear about flooding....
That's what I was figuring, considering conservation of angular momentum, which is why I've been watching for it.
Are you listening to this letter being read from Mary Landru??
She is such a Bleep
Seriously, Karl, is Art hosting tonight?
Evidently.
Thanks!
I'll be right back... do you mind waiting?
