Hurricane Katrina Live Thread, Part VII
NOAA - NHC ^ | 28 August 2005 | NOAA - NHC

Posted on 08/28/2005 8:10:23 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Extremely dangerous Hurricane Katrina is bearing down on the North Central Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans metro area. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin conceded that as many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport. At this hour, people are still filing into the Superdome after security screening for weapons and contraband. National Guard have brought in 360,000 MRE (meals ready to eat) to feed the estimated 30,000 storm refugees in the Superdome.

We are not worried about the levees breaking. The water could go OVER them. That is the real concern.

It's just a levee, but it isn't a very big graphic at all, just a slow server.

Perhaps you should be concerned. In the Floods of '93, Mississippi levies broke in a couple of places between St. Louis and Davenport IA.

I pray your levies hold.
