GUSTAV: Massive Evil Hurricane of Death! Panic!
- Thread starter Uncle Fester
- Start date
Don't expect an evac order until Sun afternoon. You should be in the cocked and locked position to go. Call your respective duty office for info relay. Word should come down from CNRSE mandating a military evac, your command will then relay the word to you with instructions to follow.
Questions?
No evac orders for P'cola. Last word from NASP (yesterday morning) was stay at Condition 4 and monitor the storm. They were going to re-evaluate today if the track shifted at all east, but so far it's only shifted west. Next re-eval will be when Gus actually enters the Gulf.
Expect some wind, rain, and I can almost guarantee the power will go out for a while. But we'd have to get a pretty solid hit from the NE quadrant to get much stom surge, except on the Gulf-front.
Knock wood, G-d willing, insh'allah, but right now we're okay.
No idea, some Ducati umbrella girl I got off the 1098 forum.
Thought for a second it was Megan McCain.
Incidentally, noticed lot more Louisiana license plates than usual around here today. The exodus has apparently begun.
Much discussion yesterday about P'cola being a log hub for any Louisiana relief ops. Apparently Sherman Field can accommodate 60+ H-53's, which was news to me.
FWIW, here's a link to an article showing IVAN's projected path two days before landfall. Pretty accurate.

Wow, this thing is getting bad in a hurry.
The Sea Wall in JAX is heading out to P'cola Sun night or Mon morning for prestaged Hurricane Relief, so... Anyone want to grab some beers?
That's why the French Quarter is ABOVE sea level. The idiots and their levees came later.Yeah, what were the French thinking 300 years ago? :icon_tong
Son of a bitch's still flanking west. Heads up Texas.
no word at NAS CC on an evac yet. COR IV. Anyone have gouge on where we can find a description of the different readiness levels?
It's defined in your command's disaster-prep instruction. Unless you're a DH or higher, don't waste your time looking it up. If they say "go," then go. Preferably earlier.

Explains them all. If we do go, the word will probably come out tomorrow. I'll be going out with the planes from 31 and hopefully can knock out some X's along the way.
