I find this site to be the most informative. Since I live about 5 miles from open water we pay pretty close attention to this stuff.

If you look at this storm track it tells you a lot of info. Current position, highest wind speed, current and predicted. Expected location by date. And it is updated about every six hours. Click on the current storm Atlantic Track.

It could be Groundhog Day for NO.

I live over 100 miles from the gulf coast. Folks haven't forgotten Katrina. No water, canned goods in stores and they are full of people.
Damn! all I want is a few nanas and green onions.

If this one hits NOLA----well, I'm glad I visited when I did. 'Tis a cool city with tons of talent and just, well hell, the French Quarter is reason enough to save it!!! Plus, I always wanted a NO funeral for myself. They are SO COOL.

Man... if you thought some people were callous about rebuilding the first time, just wait and see how nonexistent the rebuilding effort is, if it gets hit again.

I fall into that category. I think that nothing below sea level should have been rebuilt, and if it gets hit again I'll have zero sympathy for anything below sea level getting destroyed. Build below sea level if you want. It's a free country. But don't expect any handouts/help/sympathy when you are flooded. And don't bail out any insurance company that is stupid enough to insure buildings below sea level. That's where I draw the line. Actually, I don't have to draw the line there, as sea level is a well established line already.

I am too timid to suggest names for hurricanes, but for tropical storms I have 2: T.S. Eliot and T.S. Garp. A - D, F, and H - Z are still open, but I'm working on them.

Oh me too, glatt. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

If it happens again they really just need to go in and remove all man made structures, do an environmental clean up, and let it become a lagoon.

Easy to say when you live in Texas, Virginia and Georgia? Why has there never been hurricanes that were as destructive before Katrina in that area and why would it only take 2 storms for some to want to shitcan the whole place?

A good Cat 4 would wipe my house from the slate. We are only 5 miles from open water ocean and 150m from a very large tidal river with tide variance of greater than 8 feet each day. If my house got wiped out there isn't an insurance company that would insure me to rebuild. I would just have to move. Of course my house is not below sea level either. Many of the people in NO did just that. Left and didn't come back. This could easily be another Katrina:

How much more of our resources should we or the state of LA continue to pour into a place below sea level?
