quote:i disagree with that. There is one city that could potentially handle it well now. Nola has a 16 billion dollar hurricane risk reduction system. it is designed for a 100 year storm but has need checked for a 500 year storm.
No better or worse than any other major city on the coast dealing with a hurricane that large. It would be bad.
Shitty thread.

had hurricane force winds in gusts.
Like many other tropical storms have have always remained "tropical storms"?
gusts are not the means of measuring wind speed.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

I would be about the same if an inch and a half of snow hits Birmingham. Total disaster. Thousands dead. Work stopped for the rest of the year. Anarchy in the schools.
Even the mention of the word snow brings panic and empty grocery stores.

Sandy wasn't a normal hurricane

Hurricane sandy was a joke but a lot of “complainer people” live in the east coast so we heard about it nonstop

Well it does have a large hispanic population to help with the rebuild.

how prepared would any major southern city be for a major earthquake?
Posted on 9/10/18 at 8:19 pm to wazoo11
They dealt with 9/11 and deal with major snow storms almost every year. They are a tough people. Guessing they’ll survive.

Every fricking thought that pops into your pin head doesn't deserve to be a thread, bro.

Most of the city was physically intact. They handled 9/11 extremely well - but a hurricane is a different animal.

Northern cities have the infrastructure to handle that. It's a wiser allocation of resources than it would be in the Deep South.
Problem with a hurricane is you have 18 million people in the metro area, far more than you can evacuate in time. You also have a lot of people living in skyscrapers and who don't own personal vehicles.
Even Rudy wouldn't be able to deal with it.

You are right. It’s only the financial capital of the world. No chance they will survive or rebuild from a hurricane.

The New York metro area without electricity, gasoline, and cellular power for five or more days would be interesting. The city would certainly recover and rebuild, but it might never be the same.

Any city would have a tough time dealing with something they aren't prepared for. And most cities prepare for what has happened previously.
New Orleans didn't deal with Katrina very well even though everyone knew what a bad hurricane would do.
Rochester NY regularly has multiple feet of snow. I doubt Houston could cope with that.
Tokyo builds skyscrapers to remain standing after an earthquake that would level most US cities.
And even Baton Rouge would get crushed by the monsoons that hit Bangladesh basically every year.
