Hurricane Laura...Katrina 2.0?

[Bushman]

They are saying this storm is more powerful than Katrina. Did they fix the issues with the levies to prevent the problem from happening again? Then again they are basically in a bowl as it is...

id leave before they take guns away again.

Live below sea level, on the gulf coast, have to expect flooding when tropical storms and hurricanes come your way.

I agree, get out, take your guns with you, celebrate your freedoms and liberty...

I'm at work and have a couple of monitors up to keep an eye on things for our Houston office. Maximum sustained winds I'm seeing now are 108 mph. That's a 10m above ground level. Not bad. Highest gust so far has been 150 mph.

I'll be watching it all night until end of shift at 6am.

That's a lot of money to gamble that the water doesn't get higher than 30".

Mississippi gulf coast experienced a natural disaster from Katrina; New Orleans was a man made disaster.

Spent one day in New Orleans, and seven months on the Mississippi gulf coast [Pass Christian to be exact] as a volunteer in 2005-2006.

Those steps were the only thing left of the city hall/police station in Pass Christian.

Wow, they make those up to 9' tall, very interesting... Small price to protect your home and belongings...

Weather Channel is reporting 150 mph sustained winds and 186 mph gusts. That's going to do some damage.

Play with the bull, where's my duck?

20 foot surge is expected
They call it unsurvivable
I doubt a 9 foot barrier would be sufficient.

a year from now i'll be fixing flood damaged cars for hack car lots they bought totaled from that area and shipped up here. that means i'll likely be having to deal with MRSA infections again. sigh.

The storm has made landfall at Cameron, LA 150mph winds, huge storm surge, its going to be bad. Eastern edge is going to be real bad. This is on the verge of a Cat 5 storm, and was said to be the worst storm to enter this part of the Gulf.

The updates info from the NWS says the storm will miss us here NW of Houston, they cancelled the Tropical Storm Warning for my county. Still have concerns of possible tornado. I don't plan on going to bed for a few more hours till the storm has likely passed. Prayers for those in Louisiana and very far SE Texas, Beaumont is on the western edge of the storm and they always seem to get ****d by hurricanes.

Oh FFS! I think we've had enough 2020 for now

That would suck if it did, and as the flood waters recede, the dam holds water INSIDE.

It will look like a big kiddie pool with a house in it.

Saw that a 14 year old girl was killed when a tree fell on her house. I don't know the particulars or circumstances, but I just don't get staying home when you've been told for a week that a storm that is historically big is gonna hit. If you wanna ride it out, great. But what about your kids?

Supposed to be down that way now with Red Cross but had a heart attack..Don't, they hurt like hell. Been off here for a year about, just couldn't feel ok about lost freedom. Barroom brawl i had with two guys, in Yosemite, being the one still on my feet when the law showed up, got arrested, 1981. Kalifornia listed it as a felony on my rap sheet and it showed up on the NICS during a check for a purchase at Fox Firearms here, never was a problem before. Got cleared as a misdemeanor last week so. Good to be back. Had to hire Kollie Law Group up in Bend, Ed Neusteter has a license to practice in Kalifornia and is a good guy who went to bat for me. Hope that ok to mention here?. Have been down the Gulf on these events and the folks there move with the tide really. Many don't have the resources to just leave and we open shelters etc. till things calm and settle. Not particularly happy about this anchor in my chest while fellow volunteers are serving in the Gulf Coast and Kalifornia on the fires.

I thank God and my parents moving here in the early fifties, that I live in the northwest.

My grandparents on my dad's side moved here from Wisconsin in `46. We're all still Packers fans. My mom's side were here in the early 1900's from Virginia hillbillies. So I like the Packers and moonshine.
