TANKS,NN...
Well if one ends up in my yard I’m keeping and painting it. That little room would make a neat storage shed.
I hope you can get some rest tonight.
Yes, the Mayor forgot to tell the bus drivers to stay !!
Uh, yeah: it's gonna be big and it's gonna hit someplace really hard. There are differences from Katrina, however.
1. Katrina came in on almost a directly north track -- east of Grand Isle and essentially to the Louisiana/Mississippi border. Gustav will be coming on a NW track -- models guessing now just west of Grand Isle and splitting (maybe literally) between Baton Rouge and Lafayette.
2. IF this happens, that would probably have a chance to damage more of the oil platforms than before.
3. New Orleans would be about 30-to-50 miles east of the eye passage... the damage there may be dependent on the size of the eye -- and the storm's strength -- at landfall.
Anyone ever hear what happened to that young man that drove those mommas and babies to Houston?
We did nothing to deserve this. Just Mother Nature’s way of watering drought regions. Hanna may help Atlanta just as Gustav will help ease the Texas drought hopefully.
Remove buildings and material items from the equation and it is one of nature’s most cleansing events.
That said, yeah, it’s gonna hit. Probably harder than anything in recent memory.
Looks lie it’s turning left for DFW as well :)
My mom called today. Wants me to pack up and get to Waco.
springtime4hillary, this is the real deal. Gustav is going to kill people. Please don't be one of them. My house was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan, and my entire family would have been killed if we had not evacuated. If you live anywhere between New Orleans and Lake Charles, you need to get out of there no later than tomorrow afternoon.
It has nothing to do with what you did or didn't do to deserve it. Take your most prized belongings, and get the h*ll out of Dodge. We'll be praying for you.
He was arrested for dealing drugs in Houston about (I think) two weeks later.
Really...how sad.
“...Project Stormfury attempted seeding of hurricanes in the late 60s and early 70s ...”
Do you know if Camille was seeded in 1969? I’ve heard rumors, but haven’t seen anything to confirm.
It turns out his motive for getting people out on the bus was to get his stash out. I was SO disappointed.
That’s it, thanks. ( sorry for getting off topic, but just had a nice memory of the restaurant and wanted to remember, it was about 12-13 years ago).
This is like the fools who build their homes in California on hills that are prone to mudslides, only on a much more massive scale.
