The fourth category 5 hurricane that's hit the United States in modern records is going to hit New Orleans... It has been noted that the entire city could be under 20-30 feet of water...

Discuss.

:(

Shouldn't build your city near a body of water at or below sea-level. Ask Venice.

son of a bitch. 20-30 feet...

It's been described as a soup bowl, with bodies of water on each side that are at a elevation higher than the city itself.

4.5 million people live in New Orleans. 10% of people do not have transportation to leave. Others dont have money. There are many tourists on bus tours that have NO way to leave.

An estimated 100,000 people will remain in the city. 40,000-60,000 casulties could be expected. The superdome is 12 ft under sea level and is one of the highest points in the city. They are opening it up for those left behind.

I think only around 1,000 people died on 9-11....

and guess what. our gas prices are gona fucking up way up after all this. holy shit, im stocking up today.

All of the oil rigs floating in the gulf are going to be destroyed. The companies have already said they know this, and gas prices will be up nationwide tomorrow to pay for the new equipment.

Woo hoo!! Im going home tonite to start my wiring on my BioDiesel setup.

im gona bring 5 gallon buckets to the gas station. oh yeah and two 2 gallon jugs.
woot! im one cheap basturd

what... that is so messed up... guess the tragically hip were right

Holy shit!http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/turboSE/runaway.gif

Good luck to all!

This just in...

According to a few drunk citizens partying on bourbon st, the storm that's on scale to be in the top 2 biggest storms to strike the united states is just a plot formed by the media to rob new orleans of tourism. Apparently, satellite images, wind and power measurements, the city being below sea level and having water on all sides is just part of the scheme.

I guess only time will tell...

You can't be serious. They must be REALLY drunk.

They interviewed a drunk black guy on bourbon st on fox news..that's what he said...

Watch, that dumbass might just survive! I hope they got his name so they can check up on him in a few days.

Omg We're All Gona Die!! :hide:

MSNBC: a catagory 5 hurrican can be as powerful as 10-15 atomic bombs.
HOLY SHIT!

Sounds like Dale Gribble is in on this.

how about Homer Simpson.
msnbc: coffins are going to be dug up by the hurricane.

wow, that sucks...lol

Yep... With the dead bodies floating around, the sewer system flooded, and everything wiped completely out.... I dont think there's going to be much left.

I'm gonna gas up tonight. For the locals, Gas is $1.88 in Cowpens at the Lil Cricket.

the buildings can only stand up to 150mph winds. and the hurrican is blowing at what? 190mph?

Max Mayfield, director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center, described Katrina as a "perfect" hurricane. It had grown into a Category 5 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson, with winds near 165 mph (270 kph) just before 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) on Sunday, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Katrina was about 150 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River and heading northwest at 13 mph (21 kph). Hurricane force winds could be felt 105 miles out from the center.

Katrina had a central pressure -- a measure of a storm's intensity -- of 902 millibars, which would make it one of the four strongest storms on record. The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 that hit the Florida Keys, killing some 600 people, was the strongest with a minimum central pressure of 892 millibars on landfall.

"The lower the pressure, the stronger the winds and that is exactly what is happening here with Katrina," Mayfield told

CNN.



Thats one hell'uva hurricane.

theirs atleast 30000 people that are going to try to ride it out according to the mayor . idiots..
edit: that means theyre not going to be going to shelters...

omg...our gas is going to be expensive tomorrow...

They have that many trying to get into the dome....

100,000 was the expected amount staying last I heard...

bet the price of the plastic beads is going to up to.

I'm sorry to say, but I doubt many will survive. They should try building an ark like Noah did.

what kinda vehical can stand a catagory 5 hurricane? an armored tank?

I'm sorry to say, but I doubt many will survive. They should try building an ark like Noah did.

Well, I just don't see why those with any access of leaving wont leave.

It is going to be under 20-30 feet of water with 160mph sustained winds...

If you arent under water...huge ass waves are going to knock whatever you're in down...

They're doomed.

Well, I just don't see why those with any access of leaving wont leave.



They must have a deathwish. If I were down there, I would run, not walk, as far away as I possibly could. Drowning is not a good way to go out.

Party's over in the French Quarter

It takes a mean, mean storm to shut down the hurricane party at Molly’s at the Market, but Katrina did it, at about 6 p.m. Sunday.
The French Quarter bar, notorious for staying open during hurricanes despite dire warnings and curfew calls, was the last in the French Quarter to close, said Jim Monaghan, Jr., owner of the bar at the corner of Ursulines and Decatur streets.
“I thought about it long and hard,” he said. “But I don’t want 100 people in here if something happens.”
In the past, the bar has remained open and usually chock full of regulars defying the storm and soothing their nerves with drink.
“We would have stuck it out if it was a category two or three, but there’s 175 mph winds out there, and I don’t want to be liable if somebody does something stupid in here tonight,” Monaghan said. “And there’s a bunch of drunks wandering around here.”
At nearby Cafe Lafitte, Tip Andrews knew it was time to leave when he saw the green shutters on the mustard-colored building close.
“When they close, you KNOW it’s bad,” the Bourbon Street resident said Sunday as he took his two dogs, Gigi and Dijon, for a last walk before heading north. “They NEVER board up.”
The sickly sweet “hurricane” punch drinks that normally flow right up until landfall were nowhere to be seen as city workers did a last sweep of spent plastic cups and party debris. Purple, green and gold balloons fluttered forlornly on gas lamps in front of shuttered bars in the growing afternoon breeze.
“Where’s everybody going?” Edward Heyman shouted along an empty street. “It’s just a little storm.”
But despite his bravado, Heyman was leaving, too.

Behold the infinite power of God.... grace to those who realize the danger that they are in, let them take action while they still can.

Damn! looks like they're all screwed! Hopefuly the hurricane gets weak. :sad:

Behold the infinite power of God...:rolleyes:

????Who the fuck is god? where is he?
If he was"GOOD" then he would'nt let this kinda shit happen! :dunno:
:rolleyes:

its good to see mother nature occasionally remind us all who is really in charge!

I will say the same thing when your roo fucking country sinks.

4 more hours to go. they got lucky, its down to catagory 4.

I mean no disrespect to the inhabitants of New Orleans, but maybe, just maybe folks will re-think the fact that:

a) Don’t build a city below sea-level bordered on 3 sides by- water.
b) Don’t stuff petro and chemical plants and storage into said bowl
c) Leave areas like this (which should serve as a big frekin’ drain filter for the Mississippi region) alone for mother nature.

It simply makes no sense to have a metropolis in THAT location.

all that cajun food fucks with your head......

Kinda reminds me of those old superhero comic plots where the city dam's about to break, and the whole town is fucked because it's designed like a dish...

Thanks to FL's storms last year, my insurance rates jumped 30%~.

This oner better not jump it another 30%..........

Category 3 as of now. It shouldn't be as bad as it was hyped up to be. I find it odd how the media hypes up hurricanes; it seems as if they want it to be a Category 5 so they'll have something to talk about.

hahahah. the Super Domes fabric roof is tearing apart while 8000 people or something are still inside.
oh yeah, there was this guy that MSNBC interview a few hours before the hurricane and it was a guy that was gona ride it out in his house. now they just recieved a call from him saying
"im not doing so well! my house is starting to flood! i got an axe and a hammer in case i need to get out through the roof! send help! PLEASE I WANT TO LIVE!"
and they cant even reach his damn house LOL. the chances of him surviving is slim.

What do you expect froma bunch of southern blacks and MS/LA crackers.

http://www.ancientegyptmagazine.com/images/underwater_2.jpg


LMFAO! Batman, your pics always kill me. :roll:

I dont get it? :dunno:

^ your an idiot. lol

What do you expect froma bunch of southern blacks and MS/LA crackers.

Main difference is?

Most blacks I know of would have been out of there a LONG time ago... :rofl:

For other kinds of folk, I swear it's like watching an everyday life version of Crocodile Hunter.... Less animals, more retarded attempts to see what'll happen....

Did you see the outside of the superdome? Its all blacks and geriatrics. The jigs where throwing up gang signs for the camera in the background.

wow. i only saw a bunch of blacks, i didnt see any gang signs. but w/e, atleast theyre being good so far.

Actually, I didn't....

lol, if that's the case, i've officially lost hope in southern blacks...

You'd think they'd be used to running from danger by now....

I think blacks in the south don't talk in the high pitched exited ebonics that they speak up here.

but wqhen we saw the footage of them jumping up and down outside for the camera, we started into a string of drunken black impressions involving casinos being Noah's Ark.

I see 2 Kryptonite elements in this for blacks:

1. Deep water ( I don't recall seeing olympic swimmers from blacks)

2. The cold water (they hate the cold....... and if they can't yell and shout, which is difficult with water in ur larynx, they seldom participate on their own free willy).

lol, this a general statement or just pertaining for the southern kind?

If the latter, I agree...

They will be important during the rebuilding process. Whites won't be able to deal with the stench once they pump the water out of The city.

Folks that are native to between the 40th and 60th parrallel are more adroit in building at all levels of construction.

Just look at the number of man-made buildings that they erected throughout history.

Adroit in building mudhuts. Its on the banks of the Mississippi, so there's lots of that.

rebuilding = new jobs = working blacks!

Now I undestand where ur cumming from on dirtying the whater.........

Lets hope they don't cover themselves in mud like the old country and go into crazy voodoo shaman shit. Reverting back to their instincts due to power outagges could lead to disaster.

voodoo doodoo

Or maybe im just an idiot :smilshot:

I see said the blind man! work is getting to me. my job(s) are related directly to all of this stuff and its stressing me out. I handle the insurance on all of the buildings that DEP owns in florida. ALL couple of hundered thousand all over the state, ME AND MYSELF! Last year was bad enough but i think this year will be worse if not the same. The other job is @ publix in the produce section so oragnes/ citrus and alot of other things are getting backordered not to mention with all of the traffic and weather the shippments from lakeland and down south are going to be delayed. this senario = pissed of geriatrics who dont understand the concepts of coorporations and supply from warehouses/distrubution centers.

So far from one hurricaine we have 60 claims =-ing about 1.5-2million in damages! thats just from dennis! from the miami area to the keys we have probably 20-30 parks and areas with at least a couple hundred buildings. :banghead:

oh man. some dude on rx7 club said he left his FD in his garage in new orleans...his wife wouldnt leave her mini cooper so they had to take the mini cooper instead of the FD. WTF?!

That dude is uber-whipped........Mini Coop's are a dime a dozen and easily replace with your insurance. An FD on the other hand......

An FD on the other hand......
:werd:

I read that thread, nearly sickens a person.

Bitch could drive her own car.

She did drive her own car.. they had her car, the FD, and an SUV. They packed the SUV full of their stuff, she drove her car, and left the fd...

They had a boat too.....fuck the boat;load the FD on the trailer......the boat floats :)

there will be a drop in parts price and increase in inventory soon.........

you people are so retarded. FD is the middle class FC. if you have 15 in your pocket, you can always buy a new one. Its not like there is a few thousand available.

from what i heard their only 5073 left as of jan. 05
edit: did anyone see MSNBC?. they showed a black lady looting hahaha. and she brought him a shopping cart full of stolen huggies! and a few black dudes were arrested for looting.

So is anybody keeping track of this today? From what I've gathered across various websites, currently:

- Downtown New Orleans is under FIFTEEN FEET of water?! And still rising.
- There are 2 different breaches in the levvy system, 2 blocks wide each.
- The French quarter, some of the highest ground in the area, is now knee-deep in floodwaters.
- They plan on dropping 3000-lb sandbags into the levvy breaches by helicopter to stop the flow of floodwaters.
- Looting is rampant.

Looks like that pic that BATMAN posted may turn out to be all too accurate. :(

rampant looting

Should have kept them locked up in the superdome.

CHAOS!
