Hurricane Gustov is scheduled to hit New Orleans, LA tomorrow, September first at 12:00 pm. (current satalite/radar can be found HERE (http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Current.aspx?location=USLA0338&animate=true))
Please keep the city in your thoughts and prayers as those who hunker down prepare for another nasty storm. Also keep those who are getting out in your prayers and that they return safely.

I dont know about them but after two hurricanes Id be seriously thinking of relocating. Its absolutely horrible, even more so given the horrible response they got last time they were hit
-
The eye wall will be hitting in a half hour from this post so the eye will be on land about (9:45)
-
i hope the people there are gonna be alright... its gonna be a nasty storm though

Of course people are saying, "Well I gaht fav days of fud 'n a'll git throo it."
(well I got five days of food and I'll get through it)
Some people just won't learn.

New Orleans was built in the wrong place in the first place...it was built i na big basin...they use pumps to pump out the water from the sewars ..although the levees do work to a certain extent they need to do something more about it then the levees. I just don't know what...other then build stronger and taller levees

That storrm was nothing compared to katrina. If you ask me, and i will sound like a jerk for saying this, but... New orleans and the entire golf coast is just a money pit that isn't worth building in as a result of the unstable atmosphere there.
-
It was actually fairly a good place when it was first built, it was first built on a hill so it was protected from floods and the natural swamps and coasts to protect it from the hurricanes, but like all cities and towns they expand, and when they expanded they expanded largely which also destroyed some of the natural protection by draining swamps to build housing. So to say it is worthless to buidl there in the first place is kind of ignorant, it just got too big to stay in a stable, safe environment.
-
I know that, but... It was a dumb idea to build on such low land, especially in a flood land.
-
my point exactlly....
but back in the day the storms weren't as severe as the ones today are

global warming, atmosphere change. all a result of the 1800's and continued industrialization, as well as the over population of the world and also the continued use of heavy crude and fossil fuels.
