[FormerRecruitingGuru]

Looks like its running head-on to NOLA.

maybe it will finish off a city that oughtn't have been built (or rebuilt) in the first place. Something about the phrase failing to plan is planning to fail strikes me as applicable in building a city below sea level, in an area prone to hurricanes, and then rebuilding it after one monster hurricane levels it. hmm... sometimes you just have to know when you're beat.

But WTF about Mardi Gras??

Didn't School Bus Nagin accuse President Bush of using his evil weather machine and blowing up the levees because he hated black people??

Go to Mobile where Mardi Gras in the south originated.

I heard on the news today that New Orleans is "developing blueprints for evacuation." Umm, shouldn't "blueprints" have been "developed" some time ago, and now shouldn't they be working on execution?

Hey, at least they're improving. Just think, 50 years from now, if there's anybody still living in New Orleans, they'll be ready like a month ahead of time.

On another note, I'd like to meet the guy who did the ORM on "Build large city...next to ocean...below sea level."

Gee, I'm glad I booked a condo at Navarre Beach for this weekend.

SH!T

I guess I'll just have to bring my surfboard!:icon_rage

Great, I'm moving to P'Cola on Tuesday and it will be in the middle of a hurricane....awesome. Perhaps I should wait until my no later than date of next Friday when it will just be pouring rain and not gale force winds.

We actually have a pretty decent Mardi Gras in downtown SD. It's no New Orleans, but it's a good party.

It's so important, I'll use BOLD type:

Don't read too much into the five-day projected path. It has a huge-mongous error, and it's really little more than an average of the computer models plus some tweaking by the METOC guys based on their read...IOW, an educated guess.

GUSTAV is going into the Gulf, and will probably be a serious hurricane. Beyond that, it's a crap shoot. The forecast model won't become any more reliable until GUSTAV gets clear of the Yucatan channel, probably on Saturday night.

He never existed. :icon_tong
