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.

carlos3652 08-27-2021 06:32 PM

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.

No one would allow that city to be built today. Along with walling in the Mississippi river

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!

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.

It's sinking at a rate of a centimeter to two inches per year, depending on who you believe. Reminds me of Swamp Castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Perhaps if it burns down, falls over and then sinks into the swamp, they'll build a new one on top of it.

Bwana 08-28-2021 08:49 AM

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.

gblowfish 08-28-2021 08:57 AM

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.

gblowfish 08-28-2021 08:58 AM

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.

philfree 08-28-2021 08:59 AM

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?

No kidding about California. I've mentioned before that one of my high school friends lived in Paradise. First, they had to evacuate the town because heavy rains nearly destroyed a nearby dam. Two years later, a fire destroyed the entire town and he lost everything. And since then the area has been threatened by more wildfires and he's had to evacuate twice. I remember my first reaction was "what's left to burn?" but the problem is the first fire killed all trees but left the dead husks standing, and now they're poised to go up like kindling. And of course this doesn't even factor in the potential damage from looming earthquakes.

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.

It's doubtful, but also not something the Navy is willing to find out. Ships at sea will take routes that are well away from hurricanes, and if a big enough one is approaching a base, like let's say Norfolk, the Navy will send out any ship that can move under it's own power out to sea temporarily until the storm passes.

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.

Maybe, maybe not.

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.

Politically it's tough to not rebuild neighborhoods. There are neighborhoods in the recent Tennessee flooding that probably shouldn't be rebuilt from a cost analysis.

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.

Donger 08-28-2021 02:11 PM

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.

Long term I think the country can spend tens of billions of dollars and NO will eventually flood again. It is a losing battle.

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.

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.

I've been in a North Atlantic storm that lasted for several days. I have no idea if they tried to avoid it or not, but it just went on and on and was nasty as hell. Also, I was on a supply ship on the crossing back from the Med, so our holds were empty. When we were fully loaded the ship handled high seas pretty well, but when we were empty, not so much. The ship pitched and rolled like mad. Walking on the walls was fun for a day or so, but after that it got old quick. By the time the storm finally broke about 90% of the crew were sea sick to the point of complete or near complete incapacitation. The whole boat smelled like puke. I was one of the 10% (never did get sea sick), but I was definitely at the end of my rope toward the end.

I was on Arleigh Burke destroyers, which would get tossed around in rough seas pretty well, and the best part of those storms were you slept damn good in your rack as the ship was rocking and rolling. Never did get seasick but it definitely was annoying after a while. Always fun walking down P-ways and bouncing from the bulkhead on one side to the bulkhead on the other side, making it a chore to walk 100 ft.

displacedinMN 08-28-2021 02:44 PM

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.

Yeah, I'm sure you had it far worse than we did, loaded or not. We'd marvel at the way those small boys would get tossed around at times.

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.

displacedinMN 08-28-2021 03:05 PM

I was Army but ended up on a merchant Marne ship tasing our equipment to Saudi Arabia.

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.

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.

It's been my experience that sea legs are something you either have or don't have, and you don't know until you're on a ship at sea. There's a big difference between learning to function with the motion of the ocean and it not bothering you at all. Personally, I loved it (outside of those few days in that brutal storm I talked about earlier). But I could just as easily have been one of the poor bastards who lived on dramamine and Saltine crackers. You never know. It's not like you can take the Navy out for a test drive.

Oh, and yeah, it's definitely the "Red" Sea you're talking about. :D

I lived for about 3 months in the middle of the desert between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. Beautiful at night. You go out and lay down on the desert floor and the night sky, stars etc seem like they are right on you because there were no lights for 100 miles in each direction.

weather.com and wunderground are now both ruled by IBM. They suck

wunderground has diluted its product and uses free data from people like me for their agenda. I know many weather station owners that are refusing to send anything to WU.

the weather channel is about clicks and drama.

When someone dies. Then it's time to blame the death on someone.

I watched Deep water Horizon, No way in hell I am working on one of those.

I took a year off of college and worked on one back in the late 90's. It definitely takes some getting used to. Even though the legs were planted in seabed, the rig still rocked back and forth. There were a couple times we had to cut our tours short because of weather, I never was really too worried about anything. It was a good gig once you got used to living on a baseball field size hunk of metal for 2 weeks in the middle of the ocean.

I did it off and on for about 4 years. Use to go to the bottom of the rig, smoke a blunt and throw sharpened welding rods at sharks.

Nope. Never living there.

I do not feel this is getting the press Katrina did. Weird.

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.

It all comes down to oil\natural gas, are they going to help with the burden of remediating the damage they've caused in the lower marsh? The corps of engineers has their act together. They are happy to put in more diversions and levees. They cant do anything outside the levees. The oil companies need to reduce their profile, fill in the canals they don't need and close up shop in the gulf by 2035 at the latest. We have to get off of fossil fuels as a nation and the first place is the gulf. It's the most diverse and productive fishery in the world and a key to keeping the rest of the country from turning into the Sahara. Fire from the west, huricanes eroding land from the south. New Orleans is a line, lose New Orleans, might as well kiss Kansas City goodbye in 20 years.

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.
