Yikes!
Let me just say that I was in a Baptist hospital in Nawlins when Betsy hit, an infant. This doesn't look good I wish everyone in that part of the country well. I do have family in the New Orleans area. On a lighter note: I can't help but think about some of the caskets floating in the water down the streets of New Orleans. How did I think of such a thing? I saw a flood or something in India on tv and it showed them literally flowing down a river or something.
I am thinking and hoping that the closer it gets the more east it will move hence limiting the surge from catastrophic
Yeah I think the eye would have to basically hit morgan city for it to do the devastation it speaks of in that article. That does not seem very likely right now. Let's hope it keeps on its intended track to where it can do the least damage.
It has hooked West ... going right at N.O. ... run for your lives ... or stay and pray http://hurricane.terrapin.com/ATL-09A/track.html It has "wobbled" or hooked back to wnw ... look at this bastid
Thats why most cemeteries in lower la are full of crypts. The water table is so high that even in a normal flood the caskets would rise up. Now if the winds where bad enough to make some of the really older ones crumble then it might happen but other then that it won't happen.
