wtf else is there to do....you realize we wont know shite until 4 pm right?


so started down a rabbit hole..

Did yall know Isle Dernière, south of Nola used to be a big pleasure resort town during the first half of the 1800s? It was destroyed during the last island hurricane of 1856 and 200 people died. Before the hurricane it actually had white sand beaches and the water was pretty clear and was a big gambling town.

When the hurricane hit, it was a cat 4- 150mph, same as Laura. It hit the island so hard not a single structure was left and the island split into 2 during the storm and eventually into 5 different islands due to erosion.

There were 400 vacationers still on the island. The ship coming to pick them up got beached and the only way people survived was getting onto the beached ship.

Couldnt imagine, that some scary shite.
