Yikes - Potentional Major Hurricane towards Louisiana
Hopefully the folks in LA and MS don't play around with this storm.... it looks like it might get really nasty soon.
Edited: It is projected to reach as a Cat 3 or 4 on most weather news that I see. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at...start#contents Quote:

Yikes, that's some nasty shit. Hopefully them coonasses get spared.
|
just got off the phone with a bud down there, they are packin up and ready to move out soon ! he had some of his stuff flooded with katrina so hes not messin around
|
This is supposed to coincide with the 16 year anniversary of Katrina…(same date) it w was cat 5 offshore and a 3 at landfall.
This is going to be rough. |
I love NO as a fun town and the history is awesome but at some point you gotta pull the plug and let it become a swamp.

When I got back from Vietnam, a buddy and I went to New Orleans.
We went out on a bender one night. Next thing I remembered I woke up in his car 2 days later in San Antonio, Texas. Neither of us had any idea how we got there. And really didn’t care! |
we need rain, maybe it will slide a little west and help us out
Hope LA doesnt get too slammed |

Nuke NO from orbit.

After Katrina, our crime rate went through the roof as New Orleans relocated north. I hope there isn't a repeat.

The deal is with these storm is not only the obvious storm serge, wind, rain and flooding, its also the after effects. After Ike, there was no electricity for a couple weeks. So. You have to deal with all the destruction without power.

As of now, they are estimating a storm surge of 12-15 feet. If that happens, their levy and pump systems are going to be useless. Ida looks like it could be a very ugly storm.
|
Two things: I hope Biden does a better job reacting than W did. Also, they should get a hospital ship on the way there to follow up behind the storm asap. All the hospitals are full of Covid patients along the Gulf Coast, and if the power goes out they'll need to be moved. Plus all the people who get hurt in the storm itself. This could be very ugly very soon.
|
Also, central Tennessee just had a round of flooding last week. If this thing burns out over the Ohio Valley, could be more flooding. Yikes.
|
And there's Nora coming up the west coast of Mexico through the Gulf Of California.

Love to visit New Orleans. Would be horrifying to live there. Kinda like California but for different reasons.

I think Marcellus is right here. A city below sea level that gets hit by a huge hurricane every decade or so you got to ask how many times is it worth saving?

I know it's easier said than done to simply pull up stakes and relocate, but at this point people who stay in that area are like folks moving in the Amityville Horror house, ignoring the booming demonic voice telling you to GET OUT. |

Ugh, that's going to take a lot of oil and gas production offline.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH DONGER

I've been underway in the Atlantic when a hurricane was crossing over and we did have to adjust our trajectory further north to avoid it. |
Quote:
My only experience with a hurricane happened in '85. One was bearing down on Norfolk, and every ship that was able left the base and went to an anchorage point in Chesapeake Bay to ride it out. Of course, mine happened to be in a shipyard getting a major overhaul, and our engine was on the pier under a tarp. So we stayed put, and most of the crew were told to leave the area if they had the means to do so. But being on the fire party, I was on the "alpha personnel list" which basically means I go down with the ship. So I'm on the ship, which has a big hole in the side where they removed the engine, thinking "I'm 20 years old and I'm going to ****ing die tonight." But in the end the storm veered out to sea and we only caught the fringes. There was almost no damage to area and we had no problems. So basically the answer is they go to great lengths to try not to get caught up in one. Obviously there is danger there, and the smaller the vessel, the greater the risk. |

Bitchy sounding female name - check.
Late August arrival - check. Country distracted by something else - Check. Dumb people saying we should just give up and abandon New Orleans, instead of fixing the problem of subsidence and land loss in the protective marsh. -Check. |

A lot of Federal tax money was spent after Katrina beefing up flood defenses but long term I do think it is a losing battle for at least parts of NO and other specific coastal areas from southern Florida up the Atlantic coast in the context of the coming decades. And yes, a lot of housing is going to burn each year in CA going forward. I feel relatively safe since my community is surrounded by farmland not forest but it is a huge issue. Take evacuation warnings/orders seriously and try to stay safe out there. |
Energy companies on Saturday had cut 91% of U.S. Gulf of Mexico crude oil production, or 1.65 million barrels, as Hurricane Ida churned through offshore oilfields, according to regulator Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
They also curtailed 1.89 billion cubic feet of natural gas production, or 85% of their output, according to a BSEE tally of reports from offshore producers. |

Maybe the entire city doesn't need to be abandoned and certainly not immediately. But there are neighborhoods that I don't think will exist a hundred years from now. The question is whether it is a managed retreat or multiple disasters followed by an enough-is-enough tax payers aren't going to let you rebuild this time. |

NO is a bowl. It is at the bottom.
Remember when a barge slammed into the wall of the MIss river in NO. That would be then end of that city. |

The only problem I had with being out to sea was being tired all the time for the first couple of weeks. The rolling made me sleep like a log, but I think the effect was basically like being rocked in a cradle 24/7. Of course, the 12+ hour days didn't help, either. But what the hell else are you going to do at sea? You can only play so many hands of spades. :D There was one guy in my division who'd get sick the minute we pulled away from the pier. Even in calm seas he was miserable. Dude should have definitely went in the army. |
saw a story that said "Worst since 1850's"
Um....right....exaggerate much? |
Quote:
Huge huge cargo ship. We hit the Dead Sea and you couldn't walk down a hallway without bouncing off both walls. And we weren't Navy so we didn't have sea legs even being about 10 days in at that time. I puked my guts out that trip and the Dead Sea was not dead. I thanked God I didnt join the Navy. |
Quote:
I hope you mean the Red Sea. Because if your cargo ship sailed into the Dead Sea, you crossed a LOT of land to get there. |
Quote:
Oh, and yeah, it's definitely the "Red" Sea you're talking about. :D |

Was watching a live cam earlier when a band went through. Not a lot of wind but it rained buckets. Then it was gone.

Basically K.C. becomes Oklahoma in terms of tornadoes if we don't fix the marsh below New Orleans, soon. and it get's even hotter when there isn't any rain. Imagine Arizona in the summer but every week there's an EF3 tornado spinning around the city when we get some moisture from the south.
