people in katrina from the 9th ward had no transportation....the mayor acted a fool and people died

There were hundreds of buses parked outside the sports complex and people refused to leave. They had over a week to pack their shit and the Governor shirked his responsibility as well as the Mayor.

Buses in a parking lot waiting to pick up passengers who wouldn't leave The Big Easy before Katrina hit. They made a bad choice.

FUCK YOU, lying asshole. Those are school buses, probably out in Metairie, in their own parking lot. They weren't "waiting" for anyone. They weren't even RUNNING.

Come back when you figure out some facts that you didn't just yank out of your lower intestine, LIAR.

I got the picture from the Houston Chronicle September 1, 2005. Check 'em out.

Hurricane Katrina: Sept. 1, 2005 in photos

I did. And it says NOTHING ABOUT "WAITING FOR" ANYBODY. You pulled that out of your ass, the same place you pulled that "had a week" shit out of your ass. "A week" when Katrina didn't even EXIST.

DUMBASS.

Look, the history is a known thing. There are at least two of us in this thread who know it. Don't sit here and try to sell FUCKING BULLSHIT.

Dude...decaf.

On August 27, after Hurricane Katrina crossed southern Florida and strengthened to a Category 3 storm, PresidentGeorge W. Bush declared a state of emergency in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi two days before the hurricane made landfall.[3]

On August 28, the National Weather Service in Slidell, Louisiana issued a bulletin predicting "devastating" damage rivaling the intensity of Hurricane Camille.[4]Mandatory evacuations were issued for large areas of southeast Louisiana as well as coastal Mississippi and Alabama.[5]

Katrina made landfall August 29. I remember the date because I was supposed to be in the hospital (obviously cancelled). A week before that would be August 22.

KATRINA DID NOT EVEN EXIST ON AUGUST 22. NOT EVEN AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION.

Go ahead Fuckbag --- try to prove me wrong.

"People had a week" my FUCKING ASS.

You shouldn't waste time insulting everybody. I know what I saw on the news and in the newspaper. Apparently you missed it. There were a million stories.

 

[eagle1462010]

One thing that has always bothered me about Katrina and the response.............Is that as an electrician who has done temp power on many occasions............with a few helo's........bringing in temp equipment...........we could have turned the Superdome into a meat locker in a day............I'm not kidding.

Need a few 4160 Gen sets.......some transfomers.......temp breaker panels.........with quick disconnects.............tying into AC units..........temp power panels..........and even tie into the grid of the Superdome itself..............

We do this on massive scales during shutdowns all the time..............and I've never understood how the evacuation centers couldn't do the same.............It's not that difficult to someone like me.

Buckle up South Carolina...........it's going to be a hell of a ride...

Looks like SC is on the dry side of it. By the time they get the wind it's been scraping over land and the rain has been dumped on NC.

Unless she stalls out, which is a possibility, and some of these figures could be low.

 

[candycorn]

Why didnt Louisianas residents go inland? And don't fail by saying BECAUSE BUSH.

Most of the damage there had to do with the breaking of levees and the resulting floods.

All of the deaths had to do with local political decisions or morons who wanted to RIDE IT OUT

Bullshit. Talk to me when you come from the actual experience rather than reading Drudge sitting on your ass in Kansas City.

Those who have never been through a mass evacuation are experts on it…dontchaknow? I will say that since AMTRAK is essentially a ward of the federal government; it would certainly seem as though the Feds could send dozens and dozens of train cars to these areas and help with the evacuation. The tracks go to major cities out of the hurricane zone. The cars are built for conveying hundreds and hundreds of people over long distances. And unlike roads, the rails are not subject to traffic, wrecks, etc…

They are subject to flooding, downed trees, power lines, etc.

More to the point:Amtrak does not own the rails! Amtrak owns virtually no trackage...in that area, most of it is CSX.

Okay.

FEMA can negotiate MOUs with the stake holders involved.

Again, this is not disaster specific…but if you’re looking at Houston or Mobile or New Orleans it’s a cinch that these areas will have a hurricane hit them at some point. I would think that FEMA could (and should) have MOUs in place and use rail for some relief efforts.

You’re right about the obstacles of course. I’ll take the trade off to avoid traffic and the hazards that come from the other drivers

There are about 72 seats per coach car. You put a train of 25-50 of these cars together and you have a major impact on the shelters in the affected metropolitan areas.

One thing I’ve always was wondered about was this. We spend $500B+ on defense yearly. Take some of that money and buy a retired cruise ship from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess, etc… Their fleets shed 3-5 ships per year. These ships can carry 3-5,000 people. Have the coast guard buy one or two of these ships; retrofit them to carry 8-10,000 by converting the suites, getting rid of the promenade, pools, casino, etc… ; put them in dry dock somewhere until needed and when you have a hurricane, make them available.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Regardless we the USA will hear all about the horrid losses and all the money needed to rebuild. Think about that for a minute and question why rebuild in the track of yearly hurricanes?

Because there is no place safe from natural disasters.
Having said that there should be insurance to cover most of this shit. Live in a danger zone? Pay an additional risk premium. Just like health and auto insurance.
There is no reason someone in Montana should be forced to pay for someone to rebuild in Florida.
You take the risk you pay the premium to balance the risk.

Go LOOK IT THE FUCK UP, asswipe. PROVE ME WRONG. Prove yourself right. Show the class any evidence at all, from anywhere, of anything called "Katrina" --- or anything that would eventually be called "Katrina" --- existing on August 22.

Not to mention, you obviously don't evacuate ten minutes before landfall, you go at least a day or two, so that backs you up to August 20 for your BULLSHIT claim "people had a week" to evacuate for something that didn't even EXIST. There wasn't even so much as a depression until the 23rd, and once organized it took a meandering and unpredictable course, hitting Florida first before re-grouping in the Gulf. Its course was anything but predictable for several days.

Lemme give you a realistic timeline since you're just pulling it out of your ass here. I found out about the approach of Katrina about 2:00 on Saturday afternoon when a co-worker called and said "what are you gonna do about this hurricane?" I said "what hurricane"? And that was typical. Some evacuated that night, I was helping evacuate another person and her animals so I left the next morning. My trip that would normally take three hours took seven because of the gummed-up traffic.

Katrina hit the next morning at dawn. ***THAT*** is how much time we had. Not a fucking "WEEK" you collossally dense DIPSHIT.

Are we clear now? Think maybe you might wanna actually look this stuff up before you bury yourself in a hole? And don't give me that SHIT about "insults" --- that *YOU* started with this "people had a week" BULLSHIT.

why do you think nc coast wont head inland...to quote our governors...we know how to deal with this....the outer banks are getting out tourist have to leave first then everyone else...like any other natural disaster people are prepared for it....i dread what is going to happen to the outer banks....ocracoke may take a hit...and wilmington...the forecasters are gathering in wilmington and the coast...

Why didnt Louisianas residents go inland? And don't fail by saying BECAUSE BUSH.

The levees not being up to code and failing was not because of local political decisions.

Actually, in many ways they were. A good amount of money designated for levee maintenance was redirected for other purposes by local officials.

Until you consider the diesel fuel needed to run these generators are supplied by tanker trucks who cannot make it to the area (if the generators themselves can). A 1,000 KW generator (not sure what that can do by the way) uses about 70 gallons an hour. In a day that is about 2000 gallons. What does a tanker truck carry; 10,000 gallons? Doable! If you can get a truck through flood waters and damaged roads, etc…

Would a 1000 KW generator turn an 80,000 seat stadium into a meat locker? Doubtful.
