i cant even fathom 170mph winds. and god knows how long they'll be subjected to it. they have alot of people packed into the superdome. homeless, handicapped, families that couldnt make it out. they are expecting a flood of about 15 feet. since new orleans is 5 feet below sea level, its not a matter of "if" but "how much". in larger buildings they have the first 5 floors evacuated.

the actually problem is the idiots who aren't abandoning the coast 🙁
as another poster pointed out, many of them cant. either lack of transportation, handicapped, homeless, many reasons. sure i bet there are a handful of idiots who chose to stay when they could have left, but most of them have no choice.

Yes, basically my sister is stuck in the hotel. All they can do is move to a room that is not by the windows. The hotel is giving them food (sandwiches, etc.) and flashlights. All the tourists there are trapped because there is not transporation. When they found out about the storm the ordered a rental car after they couldn't get any other form of transportation. Then later when they called back the rental car company said that their reservation had been cancelled. So basically there is no way out and they just have to wait it out in the hotel. One restaurant has stayed open to serve the trapped tourists in the area they are at.
WOW is it just me or has this hurricane literally been able to keep the same intensity for a while this support the theory of annular hurricane. Meaning it is much stronger for a loner period of time and it cannot weaken until it hits land. They expected it to be a cat 4 at 11pm advisory however it still is a high cat 5 160-165 mph storm for almost all day now. THis is very bad news.

Its outrageous that the government asks for votes and doesnt have the decency to provide these poor people with civil protection vehicles that could drive them out of the path of the hurricane !
"DOT? Got a question for you. We're going to bring down 700,000 automobiles down the Interstates to help with the evacuations that are already moving about 2 MPH. Also, we've got about 200,000 of those inflatable hydro-hover-thingees. Thanks, we'll be on our way!"

New Orleans is a great city. It's very poor but the people there are top of the line to visitors (like me and a million others). I wish them the very best.
KidRock, they've just announced that they will be opening up the top of the Lousiana Superdome for Redneck Waterslidin' tomorrow. I figured since you love those Slip N' Slides and Wet Bananas, you might want to start heading down there.
Pretty interestin stuff, I say. We watched the TV for 3 periods today because of Katrina. Im kind of confused though, I heard from some people its a category 5 and on tv as well, and I also heard the tv say its a category 1! Wtf is it?
Well anyway, The dome(sp) isnt gonna stand for much longer..The roof and part of the building has already flown off and there are appx 20,000 people inside that couldnt leave the area and I suppose they're all gonna die. It was quite funny seeing the reporter outside this morning, he looked like he was about to fly away. The camera got hit with a shingle or gutter or somethin 😐 . But its all pretty interesting..Ive never really been interested in hurricanes, but this caught my attention.
