re: What if Katrina had taken a different path?

What dont you understand?...this is the path the OP is talking about
I dont understand why you think all of those places would be "gone". I mean i could see GI, the fourchon, and Venice being wiped. but Lafitte, Covington, Mandeville? Did you go see Mississippi after the storm? The first few block were literally wiped down to the slabs of the buildings. that was a few blocks with no marsh in front of the storm, yet you think that would happen 30 miles inland at Laffite, and 80 miles inland at Covington and Mandeville? I just dont agree with that statement. This post was edited on 8/30/19 at 10:01 am

Say Katrina had made landfall in the Golden Meadow area and tracked thru Covington and then into Mississippi what shape would New Orleans be in today?
1) Every structure on Grand Isle would fail. Grand Isle would probably continue to exist in some form, but it would have so many cuts through it that it probably could no longer support itself as a place to live. So much infrastructure would have to be rebuilt that it would not be worth the cause.
2) The oil and gas infrastructure along both LA 1 and LA 23 would be absolutely devastated. To the point where it probably would be rebuilt well to the west. Lake Charles to Beaumont to Bolivar would boom as the infrastructure was rebuilt there.
3) Barataria Bay would push in through Little Lake and Lake Salvador, causing massive flood damage through Lafitte and pushing up into the West Bank. Harvey Canal would probably suffer blowouts like we saw on the east bank.
4) Houma, etc, would have the eye pass very close to them and see significant wind damage and a decent amount of water
5) East Bank of New Orleans / St Bernard and all of Plaquemines would be mostly the same as it was. Water running in counter-clockwise causing blowouts in the MRGO and the outfall canals
6) East bank of Jefferson Parish would have had more wind damage.
7) Northshore would have more wind damage.
8) MS Gulf Coast would have had surge in the 6 to 10 foot range. While no doubt causing a lot of problems, that level of surge won't clear houses from foundations and put casino boats on tops of hotels.

Yes. literally a week after the storm

Storm surge would wipe Lafitte off the map...they litterally have ZERO protection down there

Covington, Mandeville?
The Lake surge would drown Mandeville. Covington would be ok

I just dont agree with that statement.
So you just dont agree with half of what I said...and now you're just wanting to argue

This is what I'm not sure about. I don't know how much more the lake level would surge from the gulf, and if that water would be pushed north from the southerly winds.
I don't feel the lake would take much more surge than it did, so then it just becomes an issue of wind direction.

Covington would prob be exactly the same, except the West 30's would be $1MM condos with mixed use retail on the ground level and parking garages and everyone would have skinny jeans and man buns.

I would love to see one of those simulated models that show surge and stuff based on different angles of the storm and wind direction, etc.
I do think Mandeville would take on quite. Bit of water.
La Place was hit very hard with storm surge flooding several years back with one of the hurricanes that wasn’t nearly as strong surge wise as Katrina

storm surge is just flooding. the major wave impacts wouldnt have been as drastic in Lafitte as it was on the MS coast.quote:

there wouldnt have been any more wind. the max waves the Lake can handle with the longest fetch is about 8-9 feet. and thats what was seen during Katrina.quote:i dont agree with what you said. Im sorry you are wrong.

I was 13 and Betsy tore the shite out of my small home town that sits along the Mississippi River. The walls of our cypress wood house were flexing so dad took the indoor doors and nailed them to the floor and walls at 45 degree angles. We made it through the night.

Hey bro. Could you two and LNCBOX get together and go start a group chat so y’all can keep the constant circle jerk off the OT?
