those high cloud tops are fricking impressive for a pop-up summer rain shower.

People put too much stock into" cat 1, cat 2, cat 3" and not enough in the surge, rain, size and speed of the hurricane.
New Orleans will experience similar conditions that they did during Katrina. Cat 1-2 winds and 8-12 foot surge. Plus they are on the wrong side of the storm. I certainly don't expect 80% of the city to flood again because of the upgrades to the levees/pumps, but plenty of damage will be done.

yeah that's kinda crazy

One thing makes me nervous and that is this thing moving west. I have a big oak that may not like a south wind.

Where abouts? Left not that long ago from raising all my crap up at the camp. River actually dropped about 6 inches overnight, hope it will move the heck on through. Tired of cleaning up after that nasty river water.

Then he changed his statement in the span of an hour.
I know for a fact he said differently on the radio

LSU should be fine. Near LSU will run into trouble for power outages when sustained winds reach 50 mph and branches/trees start falling on power lines.
Tigerland doesn't lose power that badly and it's so close to a substation that even if it does it comes back relatively quick

didn't they say the storm surge in katrina was upper 20's? supposedly the rebuilt shite can handle 8-12 feet I thought

oh ok. so he changed from what he literally JUST SAID on air?

Katrina wasn't that bad in NOLA except for the ridiculous storm surge and shite levees so he basically rendered his argument useless there.

Haven't had much of an opportunity to post, but great thread guys. It's been... "informative" as well as entertaining.

What going on in this thread?
Oh Lawd...

24 - 28 feet to a 20-mile stretch of Mississippi coast. Fully 90 miles of coast from eastern Louisiana to Alabama received a storm surge characteristic of a Category 3 hurricane.

Nah. The surge in Louisiana never got that high as far as I know. Mississippi experienced 25+. New Orleans got very lucky.

this. if LSU plays Saturday I'm thinking about an old school NOLA trip UPTOWN on Sunday. Staying out of the quarter due to decadence

not sure how Tigerland did for Gustav, but Riverbend was out several days and all power is buried in the neighborhood.

I haven't made fun of the effects, I just don't think it's gonna be as bad as people make it out to be. People like Too Frat saying "BR is fricked" and such... I think by Friday we'll be mostly back to business as usual.
It will be like Gustav. MAYBE not worse.
