Well, after a few weeks of guessing games, the hurricane steared off course of southern florida and twisted into Louisiana. According to FOX News, the Superdome is an evacuation center for those who can't get out any other way, and it can only fit aprox. 20-30,000 people since they bring posessions with them, thus fucking over a lot more people.

Not to sound really really cold, but last year we got FOUR hurricanes in the span of 2 months, so I don't really see the big deal about a city getting 1, especially since the hurricane can obviously die down by the time it hits. South Florida is a good couple of hundred miles closer to the hurricanes, so it could possibly hurt us more than anyone else.

Yeah, but right now it has intensified to a Category 5.

Yeah, now me taking shots at New Orleans sucks because it's Level 5. Damn you, Mother Nature for spoiling my fun~!

Well, to see why it would be considered a big deal Scrooge is the fact that that area is not equipped to handle a storm of this nature. I heard it basically described like a cereal bowl. Like when the cereal is in the bowl with the milk and having to try and drain all of the milk out of it. New Orleans doesn't have a natural irrigation system as it's below sea level. All the water that goes in the area will stay there until it's pumped out. It's damned on both sides and on one side of it is the Mississippi River. If it floods there is nowhere for all of the water to go but to "fill the bowl" so to speak.

I heard NO will basically become a toxic zone with all the flooding. That's gonna fucking suck. Even I can't find humour in that. :(

From the files of WORST THING EVER..........

Apparently in NO they cannot bury corpses six feet deep because the sea level they are at. If the flooding gets as bad as they say it could............there shall be floating corpses.

<------Glad to live in Pittsburgh

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing at that, mainly because it could turn into a new Zombie movie... "Rise of the Barely Buried Dead."

Or maybe it's Aging Hippie Liberal Douche" on this episode of South Park that makes me laugh.

Ouch...

Actually, most of the dead in N'awlins are buried above ground. They've dealt with floating coffins in the past and learned their lesson.

I hate to say this, but maybe this will wash out the piss & whiskey smell from Bourbon Street

...Bourbon street? With a name like that, smelling like piss is rather suitable.

Have you never heard of Bourbon Street? It's the biggest party street on the planet. Show up near Mardi Gras and you'll be surrounded by too many people, most of which will be women flashing their tirts for some $1 string of beads

I kinda guessed that judging by the word BOURBON, but I really don't care about a bunch of drunk idiots and whores making the city a bigger cesspool than it already is.

Don't diss it. It may be your's & LFV's only chance to ever see actual tirts.

Only dumbasses use the phrase "tirts" on a message board.




Fo' shizzle. :P

You just used it, dumbass.

And as for the Hurricane: It actually tore two holes in the roof of the Superdome. One of them is estimated to be 20 feet long and 4 feet wide

I never said "tirts" in an original post, I'm just typing it to poke fun at you, hence the quotes around it. :P

And the Superdome isn't so super, eh? :P

Latest is that Fats Domino is among the missing!

Who's Fats Domino?

He's credited with possibly inventing Rock N Roll.

Oh... sorry, never heard of him. I'm no big on musical knowledge.

C'mon now...never heard "Blueberry Hill"?! Anyways, a story this morning says that Fats is allright.

Anybody hear the sound clip from the mayor of Naw' lens today? Saying he's "pissed" about the lack of any '"g*oddamn help-- pardon my French!".

Oh, I heard it............and he's right.

So you guys want to get pissed off?

There was a picture that came out yesterday of 350 busses just sitting in a parking lot in New Orleans. These are state owned busses that haven't even hit the roads since the hurricane hit and weren't used for the evacuation. Just to give you an idea on how on top of things the New Orleans government is.

How about the federal government. This fucking thing has been handled wrong from the first sign of the storm. By local government, the federal governement, FEMA, you name it, they've fucked up in this situation.

I don't blame the federal government so much. The local is the first line in these situations and the LA government botched this so bad that the feds have been playing catch since they got there. Notice that in other states hit by this that it's gone much better because the local government held shit together until the feds hit the scene. LA was botched before the storm even hit.

They knew there was a problem with the levy. So did the government. There's no way that any local authorities could have ever handled this situation on their own. Sorry bro, it's a difference of opinion here...............but I blame the federal governement a LOT more than I do the local.

Owned by New Orleans and ruined by the flood. Never used.

Nonetheless, glad to see it take the federal government DAYS to get to a disaster area.

Hopefully there are no terrorists watch this "relief effort".

What's REALLY sad is that FEMA's Natural Disaster practice runs, which they used to practice for situations just like this, used New Orleans as their example. They prepared for this exact situation, and it still took them this long to help.

How anyone was able to survive inside of a flooded house for 18 days with very little water is amazing... almost makes me black heart feel good. :P
