GUSTAV: Massive Evil Hurricane of Death! Panic!
- Thread starter Uncle Fester
- Start date
I was told that most companies stop writing new policies once you're inside a projected cone of destruction, which for those of you on the Third Coast, that means anytime a cyclonic is in the Gulf.
That said, I called USAA the day my sim was canx'ed b/c of Dolly, mainly to make sure my existing policy and hurricane coverage were still good. It was, and the lady asked me if I thought it was enough, or would I like to increase it? YMMV.
The down side to finding out you have almost $200K in hurricane coverage? I'm totally cheering for the 'canes to rain down destruction of biblical proportions, so I can replace all my busted Ikea junk with new stuff.

You must rent.
And he's so much better prepared to handle it this time.
As someone from "New Atlantis" he's definitely not...
I picked up your sarcasm but wanted to make sure others got the picture
Hopefully Gov. Jindal will step in and fix things before Nagin (who I did NOT vote for) can screw up the "chocolate city"(as he referred to it after Katrina) again

Wow...that happened?
"We ask black people: it's time. It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day." --New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Jan. 16, 2006

Track has shifted east, more toward Mobile. But even NHC says don't read too much into it - 4-5 day forecast tracks have an average spread of something like 300 miles.
Should have a better idea of where it's going to go when it clears the west end of Cuba on Sat or Sun.

If hurricanes get near Mobile Bay they seem to head right for it. And the newest track (10AM) is eeking Gustave that direction.
(As for Ray Nagin--his last faux pas was to declare himself a "vagina friendly" mayor.)

Thank you Single Seat--Weather Underground has excellent models and detailed graphics!
If it hits N.O. again and any of those dumbasses are on their roofs again..I say we tell them "Go away, I'm reading Superfudge"
If they can't learn from their first mistakes and then have the audacity to bitch at the people saving them (or shoot at them, as was the case) I say fuck 'em, fuck 'em all.
But that's just my embittered tax-paying ass...
