Hurricane Season 2005

And Central Florida avoids the bullet for now.

I feel kind of good, although I got slapped with three hurricanes last year. :link:

hmmm..now its 175 mph winds with gusts up to 200.

There is going to be no more state of louisiana after this one.

Damn. :eep:

Take a 15+ foot storm surge & apply it to New Orleans, which is 12 feet below sea level. If it hits NO directly, this will be the worst disaster to hit a US city in quite some time.

JM

No fucking lie.
They say that, if it doesn't cool down, part of it will reach as far as Tennessee, and Northern Arkansas.

If you want to visit New Orleans, you still have a few hours, because it isn't going to be around for much longer. It was nice knowing you, NO.

I bet it sucks to be in NO right now. It's already pretty bad here, storm wise. =\ I hope I don't get any "tornaders". I live in the dorm equiv of a motel.

Crazy stories filtering in about Katrina... the Superdome is leaking, incredible flooding, building collapses... wow.

Check any news site for tons of incoherent rambling and overly ambitious and sometimes flat-out wrong info.

My parents' house is in between Gulfport and Bay St. Louis - they made it here to Gainesville this afternoon and expect to not have a home to go back to. Supposedely, word is a 20 foot wall of water (kind of like that Tsunami earlier this year out in Asia) rolled in and took out everything quite a ways inland and west of Gulfport. Worst part is hurricane season is just starting.

I think my dad is fed up with living on the gulfcoast. The older he and mom get, the harder it is for them to prepare (sandbag and board-up everything) for all of these hurricanes. I think he's going to end up traveling the states in a Winebago with insurance kickback and just say "fuck it" to rebuilding, from the sounds of it. :\

This fucker's supposed to really screw with the economy, too.
