Seems to be headed that way.

Also some working audio might help your drunken crystal ball thoughts.

in what way?

You just linked a documentary of Katrina?

i don't get how BR could ever have anything at all like Katrina and failed flood walls and all of that jazz

I'm confused af

Are you talking about and comparing the SJW and the statues coming down?

The two piece of shite Dem mayors??

The crime rate?


What future of BR would make it anything resembling NO?


BR was pretty much a one horse town until the yuge growth spurt about 60-70 years ago in the 1950. New Orleans was already a living breathing museum by that time.

The hurricane doc really throws me off. Does this have something to do with the floods?

As New Orleans and the land around it continues to sink due to lack of deposits of the Mississippi flooding that built the land it stands on... it would seem to me that Baton Rouge will eventually become the new port city of Louisiana.

ETA: Sorry, I think the link I provided jumped to the end of the video... it's the video as a whole that made me start the thread.

yeah no


Completely differeneny geology and topography

No, bruh

Yeah with the losing of the wetlands you will continue to see storms not lose as much strength and get 'knocked down' as they come inshore, but BR will never ever take on any storm surge. This is a clown question, no wonder I was confused what you were asking.

Have you ever been to Nola and BR and ever looked at a map?

I'm not saying BR will be hit by a hurricane and blown away, just thinking that over the years NOLA and surrounding areas will fade away and leave BR as the port city

seems naïve to me to think it could never be that way....

especially with global warming.

same thought process that brought those levees down in the first place.. scientist warned for years and years NOLA was a disaster in the making...

Baton Rouge is more like a mini Atlanta. No culture just culcha.

I'd put money on Slidell and Mandeville being the big cities in a scenario where NOLA area and JP erode away...

In an extreme scenario, morgan city would be the next major port. If you start a thread like this might want to do a little research.

I didn't read anything you posted in this thread. But that blonde in your signature is a fricking dime. Lawd have mercy.

With the decisions humans are currently making in the world today, I give our species maybe 150 more years tops. Too many people making too many problems in our world today. And an exploding third world population that wants to join in the western consumerist cult makes it an unsustainable economic, social and environmental proposition.
