Ivan + New Orleans = Underwater

[sr71blackbird]

If hurricane Ivan hit New Orleans directly... (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040914/ap_on_re_us/vulnerable_new_orleans) the city would be flooded under 20 feet of water for weeks..

If you really wanted 'The Perfect Storm' meaning, by what Sebastian Junger meant, the interstice of several factors, ending up in one fucking Bad Day, you combine:

The Winds created by the release of Heat +

The Waves churned by Winds, and pushed outward +

The actual physical lifting of the sea, from insanely low pressures at center =

A storm surge. If you add the timing of a high-tide you can have seas of up to 20+ feet above mean high tide levels. Galveston was about wiped off the map in 1900, 6000+ gone there. Bad Times. We have been very very very [keep going for a while...] very very lucky.

[Furtherman]

The big NO is in trouble. People down there know that one big Category 5 could wipe out half the city - especially the French Quarter.

If Ivan stays strong and hits Lake Pontchartrain head on, good bye French Quater.

The city stays dry because of a series of levees and drains that can handle a maximum of 2 inches an hour. Ivan has the potential to deliver up to 20 inches an hour.

True, it's a dirty city, but it has a great character and it's tons of fun. I've been to a few Mardi Gras and never had such an awesome time. I hope she survives.

You got it Mojo. If anyone has been to Bourbon St. they can attest to the fact that it smells like a mens room at a dive bar after closing time.
Puke puke puke.
But I think people are also forgetting that the FL panhandle is also getting hammered. At this rate FL is going to have over 100 BILLION in damages. If you want to buy real estate, it is going to be cheap as hell now. (Insurance rates will be up the ass but we are used to that in NJ)

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Jeanne was threatening to turn into a hurricane Wednesday in the Caribbean as it approached Puerto Rico. At 8 a.m., it had wind of about 70 mph, just a few mph below hurricane strength, and was about 70 miles southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Long-range forecasts showed it could be near Florida's east coast as early as the weekend.

Right now I'm just south of the Red Star. The winds are starting to pick up, and the rain will be onshore here very soon. Everyone is predicting that this fucking thing is going to start ramming due north, and is headed right for us.

I've done what I can to secure this place, and it's probably time to start packing and get the fuck out. I've ridden out several down here, but never a Category 4... or even a Cat 3. At least not a direct hit like this will most likely be.

Any prayers or good thoughts you could send our way would be greatly appreciated.

Over the weekend the millibars dropped to 904, I believe. Which was one the 5 lowest pressures of all time for an Atlantic storm. That's some serious shit.

yea good point, and Nick, no.

they have been sayin that the whole time, the outter bands will hit new orleans, but hurricanes stay over water as long as the can, and since louisiana sticks out, it tends to cut to the right and avoid the early land fall.
dont be fooled though, the outterbands could still flood the shit outta new orleans, especially since they will still have huge wave surges

[mothershucker]

Are the people of New Orleans complete animals? I came across this diddy while reading about the storm......





The city decided against opening the Superdome to able-bodied people. The last time that happened, during Hurricane Georges in 1998, the 14,000 refugees nearly did more damage than the storm itself. Countless televisions, seat cushions and bar stools were stolen, and workers spent months cleaning graffiti off the walls.


So let me get this straight......your city is nice enough to take your cajun ass in, and you fuck up the place that they let you stay in? ANIMALS!

I shucked it, and I shucked it, and I shucked it, i'm quite the mother shucker

[HBox]

I'm watching CNN right now. I want to comment on one thing besides the awfulness of this storm: I cannot believe that these networks are sending people into the middle of a hurricane, especially one like this. Someone is gonna die one of these days, and for what? That we can see how horrible hurricanes are? Isn't the devastation afterwards enough? And then what gets me is that the reporters in the middle of the storm will track down and interview people who stayed, and act all flabbergasted that someone would stay through a hurricane. YEAH, IT IS PRETTY FUCKING STUPID TO SIT THROUGH A HURRICANE! IS IRONY LOST ON YOU STUPID FUCKING REPORTERS!?

Dont think Im harsh or anything, but I have spoken with a number of people who also seemed a little "let down" that the hurricane didnt cause as much damage as expected. Were you dissapointed? Just curious...
