MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I pray to mother nature that the storm doesn't hit NO. That would be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 How bad is the storm surge from the gulf going to be. New Orleans is all ready at/below sea level. This will cause some huge flooding. Seems like that would be more damaging then even the winds from a cat 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 "160 MPH winds gusting to 196 MPH." There is nothing good about that statement at all. Expected to hit NO at 2am as a category 4 hurricane. 90 degree water in the Gulf turned this into an even bigger monster of a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 And oh-by-the-way, this thing's roaring straight through the Gulf oil producing, refining, and shipping regions. Oil's probably going to go nuts next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Pontchartrain? If Katrina hits, the city is going to be under several feet of water and sewage will be floating everywhere. I hope FEMA has already begun mobilizing.

kegtapr Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Nice site, thanks. This is Hurricaine Andrew all over again. 420831[/snapback] If all the ingredients come together they would be lucky to have damage on the scale of Andrew. New Orleans could become Atlantis...at least for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unheard of. Worst part is there isn't much to weaken the storm. No upper level winds, no land, no cooler waters. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
