Looks like New Orleans is going to get creamed.

It is amazing how fast that grew.

Wasn't there a thread on this already?

Yep, but there's breaking news almost every 15 minutes. (well not breaking - but this thing is huge).

I posted earlier in another thread that the Mayor of New Orleans has issued a mandatory evacuation for the city.

Wow!

What are we talking about in numbers here? A couple million people?

They finished getting my grandmother out of New Orleans last night. 175 mph winds? That is nuts.

Half a million.

Definately one for the record books. I've never been to N. O. Now I'll never get to see it, just read about it in history books.

You haven't lived until you've barfed on Bourbon Street.

Yeah, for some reason it was deleted.

Just reported wind gust of 215 mph on Fox.

I cannot believe this happening. This will be worse than 9/11.

The book I'm reading is set in the future and New Orleans has been destroyed by flooding and is no more. Interesting....

I don't think so (in numbers of deaths and you can't count the ones that will be extracted from the crypts). It will be a mess that is for sure but a state of emergency has already been declared and evacuations are in progress.

Didn't barf, but saw a lot of other people barfing...among other things.

NO is toast, no doubt about it. It's a shame, because it's one of the favorite cities I have visited and is absolutely beautiful, especially the French Quarter.

Did you drink two hurricanes from O'Briens? That is what got me (not to mention the many pitchers of beer beforehand).

 

[Railroad]

I visited New Orleans with my wife in conjunction with a business trip to Pascagoula, MS. I'd guess that whole area is in deep trouble (pardon the pun). What a shame!

No, I only drank one - that was enough. :drunk:

I had one Hurricane from Pat O'Brien's! Still have the glass in my cubboard!


One was enough!
