Well said...sadly so.
Where will the power come from? Once out, it isn' going to be on for a very long time. My worry is that the flooding may be irreversible. The city is under sea level. How long will it take to rebuild the levies and drain out dozens and dozens of square miles of water?
That happened in the Johnstown PA flood.
Not only snakes, also Nutria, which are basically 15-pound swamp rats.
Thanks for the information below from the IV Thread. Missed replying to that one:
"If you read the building codes, you will see that the wind load design paramaters increase with the building height.
The question is...is the La code as hurricane oriented as the South floridia/Miamidade code.
In tall buildings, the damage will result from wind blown debris, especially roof gravel. The research was done bu Texas Tech.."
Looks like that whack-job "reverend" that disrupts military funerals has been posting here.
I know what you mean & it just sickens me.
Someone said 6 months or more.
Instead, Blitzer seeks out what dumbass thoughts Max Cleland has on Iraq.
Oh, God.
Prayers for my neighbors in Louisiana.
You are misunderstanding. My understanding is this was/is a formality. Not the same as ordering them to do it. It's the process.
God Bless you, Tom! It's so good to know that I can count on you!
LOL
In these events, the U.S. government should consider detonating a low yield tactical nuke at the storms center....heat from the blast could evaporate a good portion of the storm and/or mitigate it's affects....if it's plausible the storm would destroy a U.S. city anyway...might as well nuke it...IMHO (of course I offer no scientific evidence it would work...but it's a thought.)
Waiting for a repeat, I thought I heard 250 but will report back when they give wind gust reports again.
Not the time or place.
Talked to my step-daughter in Gulfport, MS this morning and told them to get the hell out now!! Told them to grab their personal affects, all their animals and children and plan on not going back. Her mother has long since left, and I can't believe she is still there.
I'm fuming!
Please pray.
Remember that Far Side cartoon of the two polar bears standing over an igloo saying "these things are amazing, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside"
Great picture ......... a sadly perfect storm.
Stay safe Bogey..
Ok that has to be the most disturbing NHC message I have ever read.
