From what I've read, none of this was unexpected. The engineers on scene aren't worried about it.
Good news!
I doubt Panama City houses 20,000 in shelters. There was footage of the buses used to bring people to the Superdome. Looks like there was a plan of sorts.
Your asking the wrong person. I don't know.
Uh, that was my point. I noted out that the lithospheric bending was from the sediment column, not the local effects of building weight or groundwater pumping (which is a greater effect in clays than silts, anyway, and especially insidious with hysteresis).
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my post. Thank you for clarifying.
Well, I see you've done you share to make it that way.
This is the way live threads are, period. Quite being such a PITA.
Got a link for MSNBC?
That's a classic, but terrifying description of inland storm surge.
I hope they are all right!
Yes I heard that there will be spinoff's. There all ways are.
From the WWL-TV Website noon posting...

St. Bernard Parish officials say most of the parish has no power.
Golly. I'll never post on a breaking news thread so long as I live.
There is more chit chat than news on this thread. Please take the chat elsewhere, this is a major breaking news event and we need to keep the signal-to-noise ratio strong.
Looks like a feeder band is starting to move into NO from the south, with westerly winds. Probably "only" Cat 1 strength. Cat 1 killed 9 people in Florida who didn't take Cat 1 winds seriously. And this feeder band has a lot of debris to work with - and will be hitting it at 90 degrees from the last major winds - so debris piled in the lee of the last strong winds will now be exposed.
Where the hell were the moderators?
