Morons have THREE DAYS to either be prepared for or escape from Florence

[candycorn]

You shouldn't waste time insulting everybody. I know what I saw on the news and in the newspaper. Apparently you missed it. There were a million stories.

Go LOOK IT THE FUCK UP, asswipe. PROVE ME WRONG. Prove yourself right. Show the class any evidence at all, from anywhere, of anything called "Katrina" --- or anything that would eventually be called "Katrina" --- existing on August 22.

Not to mention, you obviously don't evacuate ten minutes before landfall, you go at least a day or two, so that backs you up to August 20 for your BULLSHIT claim "people had a week" to evacuate for something that didn't even EXIST.

Lemme give you a realistic timeline since you're just pulling it out of your ass here. I found out about the approach of Katrina about 2:00 on Saturday afternoon when a co-worker called and said "what are you gonna do about this hurricane?" I said "what hurricane"? And that was typical. Some evacuated that night, I was helping evacuate another person and her animals so I left the next morning. My trip that would normally take three hours took seven because of the gummed-up traffic.

Katrina hit the next morning at dawn. ***THAT*** is how much time we had. Not a fucking "WEEK" you collossally dense DIPSHIT.

Are we clear now? Think maybe you might wanna actually look this stuff up before you bury yourself in a hole? And don't give me that SHIT about "insults" --- that *YOU* started with this "people had a week" BULLSHIT.

-- Not to mention the colossal dipshit OP who began flinging the insult turds in the fucking FIRST WORD OF HIS THREAD TITLE.

They had several days. Several days that they ignored because of........?

Anyone noticing a trend? Whites leave & live, minorities.....

There were a great many who lacked the ability, the resources to get out. It was tragic.

That is what the aforementioned city controlled buses were for.

Wonder who controlled that? Hmmmmmmmmm

I think that is an oversimplification. First off, those school buses are privately owned and operated, secondly, how do you go around rounding up everybody? There were shut-ins, elderly, poor etc. that had no way of getting out.

I don't know how you avoid this; I wish I did. It was heartbreaking.

Well, he’s a pretty simple guy.

 

[eagle1462010]

The largest failure of the City, State, and FEMA.........was at the shelters for the storm............

Like Dragonlady said.......not everyone can afford to haul ass........they don't have the money to run.......to afford lodging....gas.....and etc..........plus once you leave it's nearly impossible to get back in...........

So.........that is why the shelters are set up..........over 30,000 went to the Superdome......and the planning there and at the Convention Center was a complete and utter DISASTER.......that is REALITY...............

The ones supposed to provide security didn't show...........and the places were taken over by thugs.......and they didn't properly plan for supplies and Emergency power and etc.......after the storm...........

On that issue.......they failed miserably..........

[Pogo]

What? You actually "wonder" something, after sitting here and dictating revisionist history on everything else, ascribing "days" to people who had hours?

You're slipping.

Those are, once again, SCHOOL BUSES out in the burbs. Who had authority to commandeer them wasn't and still isn't clear, but the simple limitations of time would have made it impractical.

As I just said, Bungo Boi --- HOURS, not "days". If you're going to commandeer those school buses, you have to round up drivers, get them out to the burbs, drive them back into the city, and put a plan in place on how to use them. That's if you even have the authority to do that.

Not hours. Days. But you lie, so it is what it is. A state of emergency was declared TWO DAYS BEFORE IT HIT.

Go fuck yourself with a garden hose you drunken IDIOT. Again, I was there, I KNOW and YOU DON'T. Okay? So BITE MY ASS.

Liar.

Pathetic

You're the liar here Bitch.

Hours, not days.
FUCKING LEARN THAT.

You were here?

Of course I was there. That's where I lived at the time, in Carrollton.

Some of the street shots there are from Mid-City where my GF lived. That area took 8 feet.

Up in Mississippi where I evacuated once we got power back I was able to find my car via satellite image. All you could see was the roof barely above the water. It was parked at Albertson's.

Those couple of street shots are from over behind Mandina's.

My place in Carrollton didn't flood but my storage space that was on Dumaine, totally submerged. Right up the bayou around the corner from Can Company. I came to look at the soggy mess, landlord came out and said "if you got what you want out of here I'll have my boys clean it out". That was the best deal I was gonna get and I took it immediately.

Most of the valuable stuff that had been in there I had gotten out before the storm including my Sony ICF-2010 radio that I took with me on evacuation. Monday night after the storm had passed I stayed up all night with that radio on batteries listening to WWL. They were taking calls from anyone who could make one. One guy called in reporting rising water and he could hear his neighbor calling for help. I was hearing the flooding as it started, live.

I was up the river in Adams County. The whole state had lost power, yet Vidalia across the river had power. Eventually we saw trucks come down from Arkansas to get the place back online.

That shot of the store counter:

​

--- was from what had been an everyday operating store (the place that later became the Ruby Slipper). There were apartments in the same building, ground floor and upper floor. My GF had the upper and we got out but her neighbors on the ground chose to stay. They had a brand new car too.

Monday night they woke up in the middle of the night to find they were floating in their bed.

They ran upstairs to my GF's apartment and holed up there for several days until they were finally rescued off the roof by helicopter.

When GF and I evacuated we took her dog but her cat got out and ran down the street. We looked around for a while but couldn't find him and had to go without him. From Mississippi we would check websites of lost animals but never saw a clue.

Then finally in early October they let us back in and we came down with a truck. We went up to the upper apartment, and as soon as we entered the kitchen ---- up popped the cat, in the window, and he said "WHERE THE FUCK YOU BEEN?" I must say he looked even healthier than when we left five weeks prior.

This is the dog and cat, reunited.

FEMA Was Unprepared for Katrina Relief Effort, Insiders Say
On Saturday, Aug. 27 at 8:30 p.m. -- about 35 hours before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast -- Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center, was so concerned about the storm, he personally called the governors of Mississippi and Louisiana as well as the mayor of New Orleans to make sure they understood the severity of the situation.

"The thing I remember telling all three of them," Mayfield said, "is that when I walked out of the hurricane center that night, I wanted to be able to, you know, sleep at night, knowing that I'd done everything I could do."

I got the picture from the Houston Chronicle September 1, 2005. Check 'em out.

Hurricane Katrina: Sept. 1, 2005 in photos

I did. And it says NOTHING ABOUT "WAITING FOR" ANYBODY. You pulled that out of your ass, the same place you pulled that "had a week" shit out of your ass. "A week" when Katrina didn't even EXIST.

DUMBASS.

Look, the history is a known thing. There are at least two of us in this thread who know it. Don't sit here and try to sell FUCKING BULLSHIT.

On August 27, after Hurricane Katrina crossed southern Florida and strengthened to a Category 3 storm, PresidentGeorge W. Bush declared a state of emergency in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi two days before the hurricane made landfall.[3]

On August 28, the National Weather Service in Slidell, Louisiana issued a bulletin predicting "devastating" damage rivaling the intensity of Hurricane Camille.[4]Mandatory evacuations were issued for large areas of southeast Louisiana as well as coastal Mississippi and Alabama.[5]

From wiki ya triggered asshat

Katrina made landfall August 29. I remember the date because I was supposed to be in the hospital (obviously cancelled). A week before that would be August 22.

KATRINA DID NOT EVEN EXIST ON AUGUST 22. NOT EVEN AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION.

Go ahead Fuckbag --- try to prove me wrong.

Aug 29-
AT 10 AM CDT...1500Z...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE KATRINA WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 30.2 NORTH... LONGITUDE 89.6 WEST. THIS POSITION IS
NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE PEARL RIVER...ABOUT 35 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST
OF NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA AND ABOUT 45 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF
BILOXI MISSISSIPPI.

KATRINA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH NEAR 16 MPH...AND THIS GENERAL
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY AND TONIGHT. ON THIS TRACK
THE CENTER WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI TODAY AND INTO
CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS EVENING.

We know all that NOW. Your map is from August 29. That's the day of landfall. If you can get that out to people a week earlier via time machine, then this BULLSHIT story about "they had a week" will finally have a chance.

 

[william the wie]

They had several days. Several days that they ignored because of........?

Anyone noticing a trend? Whites leave & live, minorities.....

There were a great many who lacked the ability, the resources to get out. It was tragic.

That is what the aforementioned city controlled buses were for.

Wonder who controlled that? Hmmmmmmmmm

I think that is an oversimplification. First off, those school buses are privately owned and operated, secondly, how do you go around rounding up everybody? There were shut-ins, elderly, poor etc. that had no way of getting out.

Well, he’s a pretty simple guy.

Dude, it was an event that has forever changed me... the human toll was mind boggling.

Unhappily you may or may not see worse this time.

The various models disagree with each other bigly over where the rains and eye will hit

The Bermuda high pressure zone is giving highly unusual steering.

There are at least two more hurricanes coming and the same crap that was said about Florence dying is being said about the back up storms.

If I were in the target zone I would head to a hotel in Georgia that was within 50 miles of a major swamp. (swamps usually kill Tropical Storms but that is not guaranteed.)

With the remnants of Gordon already causing rain in the target zone this could easily get catastrophic. Look at the damage in the two X marks the spot towns in central FL. That can take the effects of two moderate storms and cause major league damage.

Worse yet if Gordon brings in enough energy from the Gulf to reenergize Florence then Katie bar the door.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Most of the damage there had to do with the breaking of levees and the resulting floods.

All of the deaths had to do with local political decisions or morons who wanted to RIDE IT OUT

Bullshit. Talk to me when you come from the actual experience rather than reading Drudge sitting on your ass in Kansas City.

Those who have never been through a mass evacuation are experts on it…dontchaknow? I will say that since AMTRAK is essentially a ward of the federal government; it would certainly seem as though the Feds could send dozens and dozens of train cars to these areas and help with the evacuation. The tracks go to major cities out of the hurricane zone. The cars are built for conveying hundreds and hundreds of people over long distances. And unlike roads, the rails are not subject to traffic, wrecks, etc…

They are subject to flooding, downed trees, power lines, etc.

More to the point:Amtrak does not own the rails! Amtrak owns virtually no trackage...in that area, most of it is CSX.

Okay.

FEMA can negotiate MOUs with the stake holders involved.

Again, this is not disaster specific…but if you’re looking at Houston or Mobile or New Orleans it’s a cinch that these areas will have a hurricane hit them at some point. I would think that FEMA could (and should) have MOUs in place and use rail for some relief efforts.

You’re right about the obstacles of course. I’ll take the trade off to avoid traffic and the hazards that come from the other drivers

There are about 72 seats per coach car. You put a train of 25-50 of these cars together and you have a major impact on the shelters in the affected metropolitan areas.

One thing I’ve always was wondered about was this. We spend $500B+ on defense yearly. Take some of that money and buy a retired cruise ship from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess, etc… Their fleets shed 3-5 ships per year. These ships can carry 3-5,000 people. Have the coast guard buy one or two of these ships; retrofit them to carry 8-10,000 by converting the suites, getting rid of the promenade, pools, casino, etc… ; put them in dry dock somewhere until needed and when you have a hurricane, make them available.

I don't think Amtrak HAS 25-50 coaches in any one spot. (Maybe NY Penn Station or Union in Chicago over the course of a day...maybe.) Most of the trains only have a couple...offhand, the City of New Orleans (from Chicago) only has two coaches. Even adding in the dining and lounge cars (one of each), that's only four.

Plus, you probably need a dozen (or more) locomotives to pull 25 coaches.

At this point, you should probably be involuntarily confined to a secure mental health facility for observation. You are starting to foam at the mouth.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Regardless we the USA will hear all about the horrid losses and all the money needed to rebuild. Think about that for a minute and question why rebuild in the track of yearly hurricanes?

Because there is no place safe from natural disasters.
Having said that there should be insurance to cover most of this shit. Live in a danger zone? Pay an additional risk premium. Just like health and auto insurance.
There is no reason someone in Montana should be forced to pay for someone to rebuild in Florida.
You take the risk you pay the premium to balance the risk.

They do.

Which is why you have to buy flood insurance separately.
Hurricane insurance is supplemental.

If you’re doing the yearly rant against FEMA…fuck off. They prove their worth yearly.

I never mentioned FEMA

Learn to read nitwit

As demonstrated, flood and hurricane insurance is an extra costs to those who want it. The residents of Montana pay nothing. Learn what you’re talking about convict.

Because a response from our federal government is free, right?

Even a CONVICT isn't a tunnel visioned fool like you appear to be.

Fair enough. It would seem to me though that every little bit would help the situation. Two rail cars with 50 people each is 100 people for example. That would be 50-75 cars off the highway. I would think there are reserve cars here and there that could be added as well.

Here again is the map you cut out of your last post in your relentless quest to fuck up the quote nest:

​

---- If you're sitting on the date of August 26.... which info do you go by, the one put out today or the one put out three days ago?

AS I KEPT SAYING, its path was unpredictable. Between this map Friday and the next day about the time I got the alert Saturday afternoon, the prediction changed again.

As this map shows, 72 hours before landfall New Orleans and Gulf Mississippi were not in the path yet. And given 24 to 48 hours lead time to evacuate before landfall, that leaves some 36 hours warning to evacuate, max ----- not in any realm of fantasy the "week" that the mythologists come waddling in to this site to sell like so much rat shit.

OF NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA AND ABOUT 45 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF
BILOXI MISSISSIPPI.

KATRINA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH NEAR 16 MPH...AND THIS GENERAL
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY AND TONIGHT. ON THIS TRACK
THE CENTER WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI TODAY AND INTO
CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS EVENING.

We know all that NOW. Your map is from August 29. That's the day of landfall. If you can get that out to people a week earlier via time machine, then this BULLSHIT story about "they had a week" will finally have a chance.

---- and on the 26th, which is three days later, they had it pointed toward Pensacola.

Here again is the map you cut out of your last post in your relentless quest to fuck up the quote nest:

​

---- If you're sitting on the date of August 26.... which info do you go by, the one put out today or the one put out three days ago?

AS I KEPT SAYING, its path was unpredictable. Between this map Friday and the next day about the time I got the alert Saturday afternoon, the prediction changed again.

As this map shows, 72 hours before landfall New Orleans and Gulf Mississippi were not in the path yet. And given 24 to 48 hours lead time to evacuate before landfall, that leaves some 36 hours warning to evacuate, max ----- not in any realm of fantasy the "week" that the mythologists come waddling in to this site to sell like so much rat shit.

See, this is where people don’t inform themselves, please take note

There were a great many who lacked the ability, the resources to get out. It was tragic.

That is what the aforementioned city controlled buses were for.

Wonder who controlled that? Hmmmmmmmmm

What? You actually "wonder" something, after sitting here and dictating revisionist history on everything else, ascribing "days" to people who had hours?

You're slipping.

Those are, once again, SCHOOL BUSES out in the burbs. Who had authority to commandeer them wasn't and still isn't clear, but the simple limitations of time would have made it impractical.

As I just said, Bungo Boi --- HOURS, not "days". If you're going to commandeer those school buses, you have to round up drivers, get them out to the burbs, drive them back into the city, and put a plan in place on how to use them. That's if you even have the authority to do that.

Not hours. Days. But you lie, so it is what it is. A state of emergency was declared TWO DAYS BEFORE IT HIT.

Go fuck yourself with a garden hose you drunken IDIOT. Again, I was there, I KNOW and YOU DON'T. Okay? So BITE MY ASS.

At this point, you should probably be involuntarily confined to a secure mental health facility for observation. You are starting to foam at the mouth.

I don't suffer fools and I don't allow dishonesty.

So sue me.

The Appalachian Mountains are lovely this time of year. Food is great too. Fall harvest time. Breweries are all putting out their Pumpkin Blends also.

For those in Appalachia that have electricity and running water.

Job shortages hit the region hard due to declines in demand for coal, lumber and tobacco; and the community of 4,700 is struggling for work.

Thanks Obama............

I’m doing my best to increase employment in Kentucky with all the bourbon I’m buying.
