Re: typo?
Naw - a hurricane can hardly sustain a speed of 175 due to the physics. Fluctuations like that are normal.

TV interview with two poor women with kids, no transportation, no money, nowhere to go. They're stoic, going to ride out the storm. No panic, no concept of what they faced. They were pushing their kids on swings in a nearby park. Hopeless. I felt like screaming. Authorities said they'd go through neighborhoods with buses to get people out and take them to area shelters. God, I hope so.
That is heartbreaking.

About 60 miles straight north. About 20-25 miles north of I-12

I've got a bad feeling about the Dome. Because of the curvature of the exterior I believe that a lateral 175 mph+ wind will lift the roof right off. Doomed structure.
Fortunately, structural engineering has little to do with the feelings of lay people based on their aesthetic assessment of a building. I recall seeing photos of it under construction, and it looking pretty impressively engineered (not that that assessment has much more value.)
However, those aluminum siding panels could end up being lethally blown about for miles.

Those people in the bar are like those who mocked Moses for building an ark. Please don't take this the wrmg way, but perhaps you might consider re-reading that portion of Scripture pertaining to the Flood...

OMG. And they keep building with more GLASS. Shattered glass everywhere, even on the beaches where it hits.
Track has shifted ever so slightly to the WEST..and the pitstop to New Orleans is DEAD CENTER.

Now I remember. But news coverage was not nearly so much as it was for "

Foxcaster just said that the forecast track has been shifted slightly west, meaning a hit on NO "dead center," in her words....

Does anyone have a photo of the stadium showing a good view of the roof?
A link will do.
Thanks,

I have been thinking the same thing about the dome and told myself I have been seeing too many special effect movies. How awful to think that the dome is your only chance of living through this storm.

The whole lot of them from the Governor to the Mayor should be strung up. This is insane. Shelters should have been opened last night so that the elderly and infirmed could have a shot at getting into them prior to the storms approach.
To: freeagle
OH no, the storm has more slightly west. dead center hit according to Fox.
