Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Hurricane Katerina
Man, did Ft. Lauderdale and sections south of there get washed out... Blew a major overpass down too... We just had a couple feeder bands go through...and we are 500 miles away from the storm and it is heading away from us. Look out Nawlins and Mobile! I'm waiting for the day that a catergory 3 or above storm passes just to the west of New Orleans. It will make Andrew look like child's play since NO is well under sea level... JT > Man, did Ft.

According to the weather this morning, Katrina may become a cat. 3 or 4 and head towards New Orleans. After "visiting" NO, a few months ago, they need a cat 4 to clean it up! What a pit Jim (french 1/4 needs a D-9 Caterpillar driven through it) Turner Yeah, But it's needs only one night of drinking, peeing & puking in the streets to turn it back in a pit again. > According to the weather this morning, Katrina may become a cat. 3 or 4 and > head towards New Orleans.

What a pit > > Jim (french 1/4 needs a D-9 Caterpillar driven through it) Turner I have never been within the city limits of New Orleans but have passed it numerous times on I-10. The geology is well known and it will not be help to the inhabitants if a major storm were to strike. This storm stayed on a south west course after exiting the Florida mainland for far longer than the experts originally thought and it certainly makes the future path interesting to say the least...

What a pit > > Jim (french 1/4 needs a D-9 Caterpillar driven through it) Turner Looks like the city is about to get scrubbed clean. This one could make Hurricane Hugo vs. Charleson, SC look like a afternoon rain shower. Lee > According to the weather this morning, Katrina may become a cat. 3 or 4 > and head towards New Orleans.

Living where hurricanes can wipe you out sets a tone sometimes... This one, even though it missed me completely, still gives me a knot in my stomach... This is a nasty SOB and anyone in it's path is gonna get steamrolled... This is the kind of storm that will flood Cincinnati and Pittsburgh without so much as a hiccup. Any dufus's that try to 'ride it out' have got rocks for brains...especially at sea level near the coast. South of Miami they had 3 foot of water standing....miles inland... Another insurance rate hike is coming.... Jeff "Jeff Rice" wrote... > Man, did Ft.

Sort of reminds me of Harry Truman, (not the president), who decided to "ride out" Mt St Helens and got buried in over fifty feet of debris. Evolution doing its thing I suppose...

Watching the TV clips of the evacuation also shows this phenomena...... Six lanes open going north... Almost everyone is in the left lane.... Amazing...absolutely amazing...

Obviously, thiis includes all connected causes. Just visualize a bad winter storm in Chicago. Hypothermia, slips (including later results), auto accidents, heart attacks, and so on. Few associated early deaths from quakes. Karl Now a Cat. 5 and seems likely to remain so until it hits land. Expecting 20-25 feet storm surge off of Lake Poncetrain (sp?). I hope for the best for the folk in that area, but it doesn't look good right now. Joe Roberts Wow, I've never heard the weather people saw anything like this...

Nothing on the New Orleans weather site talking in those terms [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] >> >> DO NOT VENTURE OUTDOORS ONCE TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ONSET! Unbelievably tragic... New Orleans was hurt bad and all that rain has the water still rising..... And Biloxi.... It's gone!! Everything close to the shore was scraped clean...amazing... Absolutely devastated... Another water tower snapped off and tossed. Stunning images, and so sad... I was at a Holiday Inn Express 50 miles east off Tallahassee this morning and it was FULL of people either running away from, or trying to get back to Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.. The 'atmosphere' reminded me of 9/11. People were in shock, and not thinking clearly.... |
