I have no idea. But I imagine that it will be OVER crowded to the max. Can't even imagine the problems of sanitation, food, water....not to mention psychological problems. And what if it survives destruction but is surrounded by water filled w/debris, dead animals, sewage, live snakes, etc.?What then?
I agree.
Been in So. Cal my entire life, and never once received any damage from an earthquake. They've scared the hell out of me, but never any damage.
When the hurricanes come up the GOM Florida always gets tornadoes because we would be on the east side of the storm.
Then we are talking about the equivalent of an F3 tornado that is approximately 30 miles wide.
How many C130's would it take?
"WWL TV"
Been watching that on the web. Does anyone know where it is located and do you think the TV station will shut down or continue through this storm?
Great...like he makes any difference. Best to get everyone out of those areas all together and let no one else in...and yet we have people like him and his crew coming in, just adding more potential casualties to the people the firemen, police, health care and national guard already have to deal with.
Throw in that Katrina might well throw in tornadoes on top of that wind, and the storm surge, and the major rainfall.
Shep Smith: The bars on Bourbon Street are packed!
"Thank you for this post. I have been 'steaming' over the attitudes expressed toward Janet but was unable to post anything that was polite enough to pass the mods. J. has been giving top notch info. right along."
Asking for a source for some very worrisome info isn't an "attitude." We are all worried about what is going on down in NO, because we have friends and family (or just sentimental memories) in that area. We all certainly appreciate her posting the info, and needed to clarify the source because it sounded unlike anything we have ever heard. It is unlike a government agency to say such alarming things, because they want to avoid widespread panic, and I, for one, could not believe that the NWS would be so frank.
Janet's credibility was not being attacked...at least not by me!
Prayers for all.
LOL! I wonder where he is going to stay, at the superdome? he is at the Daquiri Delight bar now.
Why in the world would they not "secure" them?
I wonder how long it takes to go through whatever steps are necessary to secure an oil platform when they KNOW or strongly suspect a hurricane is heading their way.
Looks like an ecological disaster as well as huge loss of life if it hits NO.
Studio on North Rampart Street near the French Quarter
How many C130's would it take?
All of them ?
That is Lake Pontchartrain on the north. A hurricane spins counterclockwise. If the hurricane is to the west, it will push the lake water toward the upper left corner of the map, away from New Orleans. If the hurricane is to the east, it will push the lake water toward the lower right corner, right over New Orleans.
She said it sounded like a single horn in the distance flowing through the streets, and the song was Amazing Grace.
Go here for New Orleans worst case scenario:
