No biggie.Oops. Wrong gay boy band. My bad.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city beginning at 8 a.m. Sunday but urged residents to flee now. "You need to be scared," Nagin said as Hurricane Gustav roared into the Gulf of Mexico with 150 mph sustanied winds. "And you need to get your butts moving out of New Orleans right now."

First storm coming into NO is Gustav.
Storm #2 is Hanna.
Is that a serious projection???
the ?
wow.
Why is Hanna that damn big?
It's one of the model runs.Is that a serious projection???
There seems to be some debate on Hanna. Some think it will turn north, thrash the Bahamas. Others think it will continue west and split the gap between Cuba and the Keys and then who knows what happens.
But like I said, game over if true.
I still can't help but laugh just a little, because a former boss of mine at an office supplies wholesale warehouse I used to work at used to brag about the fact that New Orleans (home of the regional office where he worked) was below sea-level and would be taken out with one hurricane.
I tried finding his number after Katrina to call and laugh at his dumb ass, but no such luck.
Dear Gustav,
If Mark Tarto is still alive and kicking, please drown that sorry !
Sincerely,
Me
it seems like hanna is just lingering around and waiting for Gustav to go through NO before going into the gulf. the gulf can only handle one major hurricane.

nice takedown buddy holly. nice takedown.
sustained winds have dropped down to 140 MPH, but it'll explode over night like Katrina, and especially Rita did.
I don't know if it's good or not. I just found the ECMWF model run (not the same image as above), their new model has Hanna hitting Miami head on, and another storm out in the Atlantic turning into a hurricane and hitting Miami head on three days later. We could have two major American cities ed up in a week.

the 2005 season is starting to look like chump change compared to this thing.
Very dangerous hurricane heading for the LA coast.
Preparations to protect life and property need to be rushed to completion in the Hurricane Watch area.
Persons in coastal surge zones need to evacuate immediately...if told to leave without question...it will save your life.
Failure and overtopping of SE LA Hurricane Protection System is likely...based on the latest forecast track and SLOSH runs on Gustav...New Orleans area surge may be higher than Katrina values given this storm track...will need to review on Sunday...but the situation looks extremely bad for all of SE LA.
Mandatory evacuations of coastal Louisiana is in progress...contra flow will begin across LA early Sunday morning.
Storm Surge Impacts:
Devastating storm surge of 20-25 feet is possible along and E of the center track of Gustav. This surge will run-up the eastern side of Vermillion Bay and into and W of the MS Delta. SLOSH runs show surge values of 16-22 feet along the southern portion of New Orleans and surge values of 13-16 feet into Lake Pontchartrain. Storm surge of this magnitude will overtop levees in SC LA from Houma to Morgan City and NW. Southern facing New Orleans levee protection may fail or be overtopped.
Storm surge of 5-12 feet will be possible along the SW MS coast in Han and Harrison counties...surge in this area can be very extensive due to its coastal topography shape.
There's supposed to be a ridge of high pressure that supposedly would move Hannah westward...I think we are going to be waiting 3 -5 days to see how that pans out exactly.
I wouldn't go that far. We had Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma, and Tammy that year. All did quite a bit of damage, obviously.
Game over if Gustav follows current projections. What more could Hanna do? Destroy the rubble?
true, but we'll see though.
so far, we've had fay dolly and fay. Gustov is looking worst than Katrina, and Hanna may follow in his footsteps.
now that i think about it though, the prediction is way too early. the 2005 season had storms like Hurricane Stan, that though didn't hit the US, did a load of damage in the Caribbean and had more deaths than Katrina.
well according to some on this board....
this is a down year.
Hmm, well I guess you could go down the road of not everyone evacuating, like last time, the city floods, people are stuck on their roofs, and then Hanna brings another 15-20 feet of storm surge to the situation...
Hanna isn't looking too good. I think Gustav may actually be having an effect on it but I really haven't followed it all yet. That model run is 2 days old though. Gustav will also cool waters in the Gulf down quite a bit which is a good thing.
Also, 2005 is by far the worst hurricane season this country has ever known. This season is no where near that level and more than likely will not be.
Gustav is a big bad storm, but its still not as big as Katrina. Katrina was larger in area, had lower pressure, and faster winds. Gustav has a ways to go before it gets there.
