Louisiana is set to be *smacked*

The eggheads said that global warming would lead to worse and worse equatorial storms. This just proves them right.

What are you talking about…?

Hurricanes have been running across the globe far longer than humans have been around… This storm isn’t a freak occurrence, it even blew itself out to a category 4 before landfall like they typical do if left to their own devices.

Yes, I see that… It’s not really proof. Its still very much speculation.

So is New Orleans still there? I wonder if Anderson Cooper will go risk his life again for CNN ...

It's looking pretty bad. No, I'm not there; I'm safe in Atlanta. The national news channels have been showing a lot of footage of the French Quarter and downtown. With the exception of Poydras St. which looks like it got hit by a massive tornado, those areas don't look too bad, but I think this belies the actual severity of the damage. The little bit of aerial footage that they've shown of the rest of the metro area leads me to believe that the flooding is widespread and severe. I hate to speculate too much on limited information, but it looks really bad.

The above just applies to the New Orleans Metropolitan Area. The areas to the east that got hit by the eye, I can't even imagine.

Indeed.

I’m pretty much done here… The rest of your post was awful close to politics.

Still can't get through to my family in Gulfport, phone lines still inoperable. We are worried sick.

So what? It's crucial and relevant, and I don't give a damn if it got moderated--message transmitted.

I guess so but it doesn't look like it lasted very long...

Not only that, but look up above, as I edited out the entirety of Tarchon's post and left a huge post of my own.

We know what to discuss and not discuss, right? Right?
