Hemi:
This really sucks that they have to deal with another direct hit of a strong hurricane after almost getting their town at least half-way near what it was before. Everyone is getting the hell outta there this time.

Lets wish them well.

ratzz:
Yep, it does suck.

First thing I did this morning was to switch on the news channel and hoped that it had blown itself out.

Lets just pray they escape the worst of it.

So last time they tell everyone to chill and ride it out... which was absolutely the wrong move.  This time he tells everyone to "be scared" and that "this is the storm of the century" causing panic, alarm, and inevitable chaos during the evacuation.  Don't the New Orleans officials have any concept at all of how to handle masses of people?  How long before the roads are completely jammed, no one is going anywhere, and fear/road rage takes over in 500 different places?

At least this time the surrounding cities aren't closing roads and bridges to that people can't evacuate.

They knew the levees wouldn't hold if anything like Katrina happened, but they never would correct the problem. Look what happened. I hope steps have been taken to fix this. (I also hope this topic doesn't move into PnR territory...)

The levees are only able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane. And it looks like this will be a category 5.
