LEAST ONE HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL
FAILURE. ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL...LEAVING THOSE HOMES SEVERELY

INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF NATIVE TREES WILL BE SNAPPED OR UPROOTED. ONLY
THE HEARTIEST WILL REMAIN STANDING...BUT BE TOTALLY DEFOLIATED. FEW

Re DEVASTATING DAMAGE EXPECTED . . .

Yep, and about 500 FReepers thought one of us had sat down and typed a hoax post.
I think some called for the banning of whoever it was that first posted that NWS flash bulletin...

Moral of story: we got our share of knotheads here, too.

Darn right. I sent this to all my buddies minutes after it came out. They said that I was a doomsday nut just like many of the folks in the dome thought.

Do you think some folks want a do-over?

I think these posts need to be posted and posted over again......the information was out there. It was not heeded by the officials New Orleans and ultimately the Governor of Louisiana.
