there should be no tourists near the area. if you have enough money to be a tourist in NO, then you have enough to get out.
and that... if i'm a hotel worker, i'm getting the out of town...
This storm will have winds of at least an f3 tornado and more than likely an f4. Only this one will be 30 miles wide.

Manny, well if were gonna do that, then someone has to look up most devastation and loss of life in the world history.
I dunno, this is just a moron like me babbling, but, who knows.
Nice idle , but what are you suposed to do when your flight is cancelled and you can't rent a car? If they're in a relatively new hotel above the 3rd floor they could be ok. Of course many are going to be in the dome.
Yeah, tourists have been having trouble renting cars since yesterday, and there were all kinds of overbookings on flights today.
I dont know of anyone is safe in ANYTHING.If they're in a relatively new hotel above the 3rd floor they could be ok.
This storm could hit 200 MPH.
If it hits that, I would assume that everything it the 30 mile radius, is LEVLED!
this hurricane, didn't just pop up yesterday. it has been coming for a while now..

yeah, but orginally it wasn't going towards NO.
Part of me feels that they should have been getting the out of dodge as soon as NO was pegged as a target (which was Thursday).yeah, but orginally it wasn't going towards NO.
You don't gamble with your life, and it looks like many did and are going to lose.
, stack people in the ing aisles if you have to, leave behind their belongings, outside of medicines.there were all kinds of overbookings on flights today.
This isn't about saving property anymore, it's about saving lives.

Yeah thats just ing surreal
They initially expected it to take an immediate turn north when it came into the gulf....instead it went SW for a good distance which changed all the predictions.
Plus it became a CAT 5 almost instantly as it entered the gulf. It also did not weaken as it crossed florida like the NWS predicted.
This could become the worst natural disaster in US history, you still have 100,000 people who are nt going to leave the NO area. The 1900 Galveston hurricane killed 10,000 (a record) Katrina could realistically break it easily if people lose what brain power the good lord gave 'em.
Fox News is interviewing people in bars and the one guy they got seems to think the levy system will hold.
I'm surprised nobody called out Fox.
The anchors are laughing at the guy talking.
This is sad and funny at the same time.
That eye is 30 miles wide and has been that way for quite some time. Eye wall replacement cycles usually begin when the eye is 9 miles wide. I don't know if this storm will undergo one before landfall or not. I thought it would have but who knows at this point.
If it started one before landfall, that woudl be the best case scenario. It could drop down to cat 4 status, but that might even be out of reach now considering the strength.
They don't understand because they've never seen something like this. They'll realize it when their dying.
I don't feel so bad for the stupid people who are staying, but I do feeling tremedously horrible for the people without the ability to leave. I'm still trying to fathom 100k with no transportation.
I wonder how many Nat. Guard members would be available to go when this is all over
I have a very good friend that just moved to NO with his family. I haven't heard from them but I am hoping for some sort of update as to if they got out of there. I'm pretty sure they have. I just worry!
This thing is a ing beast and has compacted at the core Manny. I don't see any more eye wall replacements unfortunately, this thing is strong as .
I just caught that man, How the are you going to have a bar open for these kinds of people??
If you have no way of getting out then get your ass to a shelter. If you have a way of getting out and you choose to stay anyway, ignoring the magnitude of this thing, you're just plain STUPID!
Damn watching all these traffic jams, a lot of people are going to get stuck on the road and drown
Just since somebody brought up the Saints earlier...
The Saints will use the facilities at San Jose St. Univ. this upcoming week.
