I can't wait to see all the hypocritical news broadcasters and weathermen standing out in the storm like they always do durring catastrophic weather events. Hopefully none of them get hurt either, but then again....
Why would you post that?? What do experts know? You gotta have hope. I got friends in New Iberia and I hope they are going to be allright. My prayers are with them....Rip said:Some experts are saying that New Orleans is going to be completely wiped out.
......Tourists stranded by the shutdown of New Orleans' Louis Armstrong Airport and the lack of rental cars packed the lobbies of high-rise hotels, which were exempt from the evacuation order to give people a place for "vertical evacuation."
Tina and Bryan Steven, of Forest Lake, Minn., sat glumly on the sidewalk outside their hotel in the French Quarter.
"We're choosing the best of two evils," said Bryan Steven. "It's either be stuck in the hotel or stuck on the road. ... We'll make it through it."
His wife, wearing a Bourbon Street T-shirt with a lewd message, interjected: "I just don't want to die in this shirt."
Just what I have heard. Doesn't mean it will happen.jdcamb said:Why would you post that?? What do experts know? You gotta have hope. I got friends in New Iberia and I hope they are going to be allright. My prayers are with them....
It will happen, they've feared something like this for years and years. New Orleans has been sitting in the shadow of disaster and it's finally been realized with this storm. Just like living under a volcano, but at least the population has much warning and can evacuate.Rip said:Just what I have heard. Doesn't mean it will happen.

The city is dependant on a levy system that pumps out the water, need electricity to do that, and even then it cannot keep up with the surge of such a huge storm.
This is unprecedented in my lifetime, i can't think of a such a huge metropolitan area going under such a strict emergency evacuation like this. i've been busy working and hadn't followed it much, i was suprised to hear the New Orleans Mayor's speech this morning, in noting the severity of the anticipation of the worst case scenario.

Why the hell did they build a city that lies well below sea level?
I'd be ashamed to be in the same stadium as the Saints regardless of the weather.stosh said:The super dome didn't sound like a great place to ride out a storm to me...
But what do I know about Hurricanes....
