From what I have gathered watching weather channel.


175 mph winds and strengthening

New Orleans is at/below sea level

Katrina will bring 28 ft storm surge....hmmmm.....GG New Orleans

Are they saying 28' now? If it gets that big NO will basically cease to exist as a metro area for the near future. Image two story office buildings completely under water.

The high winds look cool on TV, but the storm surge is going to demolish such a low lying area.

you are all correct, NO is fucked. no gettin around it. its gonna be completely insane to look at pictures over the next few days about whats goin on. ive got some links to live cameras that are placed over new orleans and hopefully i can check some shit out when it hits.

i personally live in hammond, LA. which should be ok, i mean there is a chance that it will come right to us, but it looks like we are right outside the projected path. plus the apt. i live in is pretty solid.

and at wal-mart it was a joke, only letting a few people in at a time, people fighting outside over who was in line first. no ice left, no bread, no meat, barely ne water, batteries, all that shit...gone. luckily we have all that shit here already. and i dont think ne thing bad will happen to where i stay, perhaps some minor power out but not bad. im not worried at all bout our water and stuff not working. we just bought 5 cases of miller lite, tons of water, food, chips, canned shit. so we are set!!

and we got monopoly and clue!!!!! PWNED!!!!

I was in NO in december.

I was amazed at all the gays. Everywhere we went in the French Quarter there were guys holding hands and making out. It was sickening. I won't miss the city thats for sure. Worse than San Fran IMO. Plus the service was shitty everywhere and my hotel tried to double charge my CC.

Make sure you have a non-electric can opener. Many many hungry people have stared at a can of food for a long time.

A guy I play live with here has a small engine repair shop and is loading up his trailer with 35 generators he has. He is on his way to be close by so when its over he said he will make a killing on them, then go to some of the boats at Lake Charles and play some cards.

This is all being overblown.

No doubt the hurricane will cause a lot of damage (and probably a few deaths among those too stupid to leave), but it won't come near destroying New Orleans.

They had the same scare last year, and it ended up being for nothing.

I would be shocked if this storm sunk New Orleans "under 15 feet of water", or anything close.

ummm, i think ya may be wrong with thinking that druff. i have been living here all my life, and there is always talk during hurricane season that one major one and all of new orleans is fucked. cause the levy thing they developed and put up a few years back can only handle (in theory) a cat. 3 hurricane. and they arent even sure it would, well this is a cat. 5 which is about to fuck us up. so im sure a whole lot of bad shit will go down. lets just hope that fucker makes it hard turn north and stays the fuck away from me

they're taking all the homeless people and people who don't have a shelter to the superdome which can supposedly withstand 200 mph winds.

Druff-

This is no bullshit. Anyone remember how in past hurricanes it always just misses New Orleans? This one is headed right for the corn hole.

BTW, if things go shithouse David, GET A DIGI-CAM READY!

david, go right up to the hurricaine, set up some cameras with a live feed. and stream this shit on NWP. then make it so people can see the live feed if they sign up for noble poker through NWP. then we throw a huge freeroll. gg.

Don't get involved in any big online tournaments either. You don't want to get blinded off because a bus crashes through your living room or something.
