OverlordMondo Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Yeah, I heard the winds in that thing have gotten up to 140 mph. Looks like Dr. Klaw needs the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The winds are up to 175 now. According to this there is a mandatory evacuation for my parish...we were unaware of such a thing. In any case, we aren't going anywhere.http://www.lsp.org/RoadandIncident.nsf/655...74?OpenDocument<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I thought the evacuation was mandatory. How rebellious!
Gryph Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I highly recommend you watch this streaming video from a PBS show to understand why exactly New Orleans is in danger. mms://video.pbs.org/general/windows/wgbh/nova/nsn-3204-02-220.wmv This is pretty much exactly the situation New Orleans is in right now.
Gryph Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Update: Latest National Hurricane Center reports show a slight shift to the west for the path. crap. That is what I was afraid of. Now we might actually get hurricane force winds.

Maybe with a pic that says "may I rest in pieces". I'm actually trying to stream that nova vid...is there supposed to be picture or just sound? Yay for dialup.. Edited August 28, 2005 by Sturmvogel

Gryph Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 The nearest gal would my sister or mother. That's just flocking sick. I'll have to search around for one. Weather update: It's raining. Not much wind.
OverlordMondo Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Holy crap, that's a hurricane and you have a big empty pool, you are SCREWED!
