Hatch Posted 1 September, 2008 Posted 1 September, 2008 Going to hit New Orleans and surrounding area today it seems. Where in hell do 2m people disappear to in 48 hours, imagine trying to organize that. Bloody Hell. Looters will be having a field day.
TopGun Posted 1 September, 2008 Posted 1 September, 2008 Saint George will no doubt tell us that the Bush administration has everything in hand. (Happy birthday Hatch).
Saint Martini Posted 1 September, 2008 Posted 1 September, 2008 Going to hit New Orleans and surrounding area today it seems. Where in hell do 2m people disappear to in 48 hours, imagine trying to organize that. Bloody Hell. Looters will be having a field day. I thought 50 police officers were going to saty behind? Anyway, I hope for New Orleans that the work the Dutch are/were doing on the dikes around there are done. Otherwise the city is just as fooked as it was last time around. I do find it funny that the storm carries the same name as the Swedish king. I just hope that there not some stupid Yankee that thinks its a Swedish invasion and decides to kill his Swedish neighbor. (something like this did happen in Georgia where someone killed his Russian neighbor after he had heard of the Russian invasion in Georgia).

Master Bates Posted 1 September, 2008 Posted 1 September, 2008 looks OK to me... http://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisiana/neworleans/bourbonstreet/ Hurricane Gustav has made landfall south-west of New Orleans, battering the US Gulf coast with torrential rain and severe winds. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7591197.stm
BotleySaint Posted 1 September, 2008 Posted 1 September, 2008 That video shows people standing outside and someone even driving a car. Surely that is a seriously stupid thing to do?!?!

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 I was watching Fox News live yesterday afternoon as the water was lapping over the levees into the Lower Ninth in New Orleans (the site of the worst flooding in 2005), which is the bottom picture above. All of a sudden the camera panned to a guy being washed away in the harbour and just managing to catch a rope thrown by the Coastguard before he was smashed into a wall. Fantastic viewing and all credit to the Coastguard for their bravery.

Junction 9 Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 I honestly thought this thread was about another City signing. (sorry if bad taste)
Colinjb Posted 2 September, 2008 Posted 2 September, 2008 Sounds like it is dying down. A lucky escape it seems.
