Hurricane Ida

[JohnDB]

Okay....they say that it's on the way.
Mandatory evacuations for New Orleans...(what's left of it)

But as usual it isn't so much the storm itself as it is Lake Pontchartrain overflowing and flooding the whole area.

In the meantime coffee warehouses are in the bullseye and all of the oil refineries and platforms in the gulf.

The president this afternoon gave the orders preparing for the hurricane saying there isn't enough time to prepare...(we have known for a week it was coming at this point...but whatever)

OSB and plywood manufacturing is getting a nice bump in the markets.

New Orleans evacuates as Hurricane Ida expected to strengthen to Category 4 with 140 mph winds

Biden seems a bit late on every crisis, of course the left will find a way to blame Trump, it seems that Biden and his admin can’t take care of anything and don’t plan ahead.

Our local weather guy is saying it could be a Cat 5 at landfall.

That's possible...
We are pretty sure it's going to gain strength as it gets over a section of really warm water shortly before hitting land...what that actually will be is still an educated guess...at this moment they are predicting a minimum of a Cat 4...that ain't going to be good.

And if anyone has been to New Orleans since Katrina.... well let's just say that the place is looking rough and weather worn already. Many buildings are already leaning severely...this hurricane isn't going to help matters any...
(Of course the free flowing liquor there helps with this)

But...I'm just going to watch and see what happens.

Almost without fail, as these kinds of storms hit the shallower and much warmer water of our southern coast, they grow into monsters.

Crap...I had tickets to go to New Orleans this weekend....guess I'll have to cancel that....

Henri was a dud and the weather channel forgot about Tennessee. The Big Easy has had billions of taxpayer dollars dedicated to reinforcing the levees but the money always seems to disappear while the whining goes on every time a named storm approaches.

Don't forget the Banana Boats @ Gulfport... Always a good time and we all like to

"Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana Daylight come and me wan' go home"...

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Two cogent points

-New Orleans reminds me of Yaounde.
-Knee groids will loot anything.

They are saying the levees will be tested. Now they can find out if 16 years of reinforcement will help. It's not looking good with an estimated 15 foot storm surge incoming.

What 16 years of reinforcement? They bulldozed the levees back into shape and hoped they would hold. Lefties blamed Katrina on George Bush. How much you wanna bet that they blame Ida on Trump if the shit hits the fan?

STFU.

It wasn't hard to find. The Army Corps Engineers spent 14.5 billion ((with a B) on post Katrina levee construction.

I think about 13.9 billion was spent researching and discussion on what should be done about the situation.

W is gonna work his remote control and direct this one too. Remember how he steered katrina right into new orleans and then circled it around a few times.

Maybe Drumpf will get out his Sharpie again. Direct it to Alabama instead.

 

[JohnDB]

Looks like the normal fun and games by politicians before the storm...

Let's keep watching for the Blame Game after it's all over....

Who blames who for what.

No one knew a week ago where Ida was going to make landfall. If you live on the gulf coast it really isn't a definite until hours before it hits and then even then can can shift east or west.

FEMA has already arrived this morning and stationed in Alexandria.
