If the winds remain at 140 - 160 m.p.h., I wouldn't want to be in just about any structure in the NO area.
The report on FoxNews right now pegs sustained winds at 160 m.p.h. Earlier gusts were reported as high as 190 when the sustained were also about 160.
This does not look good at all. There seems to be an attitude from people that they are tired of evacuating. A number of people are staying in the area. I think that could turn out to be a fatal mistake for far too many.
Nobody should still be in NO, Doughty. No one.
A retired meteorologist sent an e-mail to Fox News this morning and he was warning about the poisonous snakes. He said that the flooding and winds wouldn't be what would necessarily cause the most casualties, it was the snakes. He said that the snakes will be everywhere as they try to escape the flood of salt water. Did I hear correctly?
