my advice is to evacuate now. Their track record isn't too good with evacuating in a timely manner.

I wish I could find my favorite clip from Katrina. it was a CNN clip near the superdome a day after she hit. Some white trash and other lowlifes were riding in the back of a pickup truck and this fat crack whore pulls both middle fingers and starts screaming at the camera. that always picks me up when I'm feeling down. anybody remember it or knows where to find it please post it.

I hope this is nothing but windy rain when it hits the Gulf shore. If not, a sad reminder of the ineptness in the aftermath of Katrina.

Make a deal with the Devil and all kinds of spooky coincidences can happen.

Imagine how embarrassing it will be to hear news anchors speaking of Gustav and Bush/Cheney's Monday night speeches in the same sentence.

President Bush and Bobby Jindal should just declare martial law in New Orleans now. As long as the current crop of morons down there run things, it's going to be pandemonium again.

Then again, probably won't be as big a problem, since much of the city has been relocated to Houston.

RUN BABY...RUN..

So all you bad asses that think you can out walk a hurricane, now is your chance to go down there and try to out walk a hurricane.

Report back as soon as you are released from the hospital

Hey if I lived close to New Orleans I might go ride it out just for the shits and giggles of it but that is just Me.

Larry

I am leaving Saturday morning, and I'll either end up in Baton Rouge - maybe I'll go to the LSU v. Appalachian State game - or I will keep on heading to Dallas based on the track.

I would almost be willing to bet this sucker goes to Houston or right at the LA/TX border.

As for the City, plans are already under way to evacuate the elderly and handicapped that do not have any means to leave. The Super Dome is no longer a place of refuge, neither is the Convention Center. There are 18 different places in this city for those without the means to leave, and I believe there will be transportation for them out of the City.

Stay safe Taxman wherever You traverse to.

Larry

Gulf of Mexico has been evacuating for three days now. I will be on a boat sometime between noon and 3:00 PM head to Houma

Hey if I lived close to New Orleans I might go ride it out just for the shits and giggles of it but that is just Me.

Larry, I used to think that too, but three years ago I was put up in a hotel in LaFayette, louisiana when Rita came through. We were 80 miles from the eye and got cat 1 winds and it was the most awesome thing I had ever seen. I had seen weather that bad before in Texas -- but the worst of those wicked summer thunderstorms are over in less than an half an hour. This was like one of those storms for 15 hours.

I can't imagine being at the bullseye of a cat 2, 3, 4, or 5. I would not stick around

It's 12 feet below sea level. Even the dutch would tell you to get out. Maybe it'll be like last time with drunks hamming it up for CNN 1 day before Katrina hit...then CNN FAKING the reports that people were shoting at rescue helicopters!

Do like they do in the outer banks, get the fuck OUT!!!

I guess living in Kansas and chasing tornadoes does weird things to a person. I still would like to try it just once to say I srurvived a category(Whatever is available at the time) and lived to tell about it.

Larry

BTW Now the storms course is projected further west, good for NO, bad for the oil rigs, and therefore the US oil supply

But good for oil speculators.

Anyone in the path of this storm, stay safe and good luck.

They need to let mother nature takes it course... Then rebuild out of the flood plain and on high ground. Obviously our Army Corp. of Engineers are inept.

One rodent hole in a levee and the entire levees washes out.

12' feet below sea level and sinking... meanwhile the shoreline is moving north.

New Orleans will be like Atlantis in a few decades.

Run Baby Run!

Goatman,

Glad to hear that plans are in place to get you to safety, but very sorry to hear that you're heading to Houma ;-) Good luck.

I'm going to a Katrina commemoration party Friday evening. A bunch of my Louisiana friends live close by and of course it doesn't take much to get them up for a party. Sun rose? Yep, let's party.

I hope the school buses are gased up and ready to go.

Obviously our Army Corp. of Engineers are inept.

Why do you say that? Because they cannot control mother nature? Mankind will never be able to control mother nature. She always wins in the end.

but very sorry to hear that you're heading to Houma ;-)

Could be worse. Could be Morgan City. *grin*

Dems should be getting their collective multiple orgasms soon if Gustav hits New Orleans. Instead of laughing at the local nitwits for not evacuating or local government for not planning, libs can blame the whole thing on Bush and Cheney.

I hope the school buses are gased up and ready to go

If they aren't, it will be Bush's fault, of course

If they aren't, it will be Bush's fault, of course

Nope, Bobby Jindal and Nagin will be to blame. Jindal is a republican who was on the veep shortlist. If he screws this up republicans will have egg on their face again.

Bit o' the white trash racist rearing its ugly little head, I see.

Somebody should slap yer mama.

I lived in a little town near Galveston TX when Hurricane Alicia hit in `83. She was a cat. 3 and really did some damage. We went to stay with some family further inland. When we got back, the seaside half of the house was gone, the entire roof was gone, and our pier had been ripped up at the pilings and slammed into our neighbors pier, ripping it to shreds and spreading debree for miles along the coast, and we got off easy. Not something I would want to ride out, too much shit flying too fast for too long (and too much water also).

If you really want to see a deadly hurricane, read up on the hurricane of 1900 that hit Galvestion, deasliest hurricane in U.S. history.

Jindal is a republican who was on the veep shortlist. If he screws this up republicans will have egg on their face again.

So when things went wrong during Katrina and a democrat was governor, it wasn't the Democrat's fault. But if the governor is Republican, it will be his fault if something goes wrong?

And this has happened how many time over the past 100+ year history of the city? It is about time they realized that they are below sea level and started building on higher ground.

I say, no more US tax dollars to rebuild the damn place. Let them do it themselves.

Hurricane Katrina was a DECLARED National Emergency Blanco asked for the Federal help as per Her written request. Dubya declared it a National Emergency therefore it was on FEMA to do their job and they blew it. They knew the city of New Orleans would need help from their Hurricane Pam exersize a Year earlier. So Yes Goatman it WAS a Republicans fault. Dubya's For He is SUPPOSEDLY the CEO of the Federal Government.

Larry

When did I say Blanco didn't deserve any blame? Why are you trying to put words in my mouth? Why are you always making assumptions about what people think?

My point had to do with the fact that the Republican Convention is next week, which is when this puppy is supposed to hit. You will have a somewhat prominent republican govenor at the helm, and if he screws it up it is going to look bad accross the board.

Morgan City, man that's another armpit.

There was plenty of blame to go around during and after Katrina but the single largest failure was the feds.

When did I say Blanco didn't deserve any blame? Why are you trying to put words in my mouth? Why are you always making assumptions about what people think?

I'm not. Calm down. That retort was aimed at all the lefties who blamed bush for the all the things that went wrong during Katrina.

Blanco is an appropriate name for a democrat governor. Her brain was completely blank about how to call up the National Guard, but she knew how to blame Bush like all good little libs.

That retort was aimed at all the lefties who blamed bush for the all the things that went wrong during Katrina.....

....and they were numerous in number.

Hurricane Katrina was a DECLARED National Emergency Blanco asked for the Federal help as per Her written request.

She asked a bit too late. The National Guard was standing by but could not enter New Orleans without the governor's permission. She nor the mayor did not order an evacuation until the last minute, either. This also was out of Bush's contol. THey let busses sit idle instead of using them to get people out of low spots. Do you really think bush has the authority to go into a city and take control of their school and rapid transit busses? No he doesn't, Larry. Nor does bush have the authority to take over cities. Given the ineptness of the local government, maybe he should, though.

Posted by LarryMohr

What you have overlooked is the time table for this cluster-f***.

There is way more blame to go around than there are people involved.

First off, If you live below sea level and a cat 5 is hedded for you, why would you not get the hell out of the way? The city had hundreds of busses sitting there that could have been used to drag the stupid out of the path.

Why would you wait a couple days after it was over to ask for federal help? Yes, the feds have to be invited in by the state.

You damned right He has the authority to go into New Orleans and take over the mass transit buses and whatnot. It's part of the Robert Stafford act. If memory serves Me correctly it's in section 509 of the act. Oh and the President can order the National Guard to act in a National Crisis without a Governors OK.

Larry

Sniper the Feds do NOT have to be invited in by the State when a National Emergency occurs. Please do try again.

Larry

So, Larry, you feel that Blanco and Nagin did the right thing in waiting until the last minute to order an evacuation. Nagin did the right thing in not getting people to high ground and that he did the right thing in waiting for the feds to evacuate hospitals? You see nothing wrong with letting busses sit idle that could be moving people? Is this what you are saying? They bear no responsibility for the their charges who elected them? It is all up to the feds?

Why do we need state and local governments, then? To make sure the good times roll, but ignore the bad?

Larry, I just finished reading four different links about the robert stafford act. Not a one of them says that the feds can commandeer a city. It seems that this act is focused on providing relief when the city or state asks for it. Since I cannot find a link that supports what you say, can you?

THere is no section 509 of this act, Larry

OK. Just read subtitle A of the act "Powers and duties" It does not give the president authority to take control of a city.

Where am I missing this, Larry?

It was the big businesses and insurance companies that pushed Nagin and Blanco to issue the mandatory evacuation as long as they did. Insurance companies have to pay out interruption of business insurance as soon as that order is given, and business have to let their employees go as soon as it is given as well.

We also have to remember that Katrina was freaking huge and not like most storms. For example, Gustav will be as powerful as Katrina but not as big, thus there won't be the same sustaining winds and rain. Personally, I am not worried about rain, I am worried about wind/storm-surge. Had it not been for the storm-surge and poorly crafted I-Wall levees, New Orleans would have been fine.

Goat,

You aren't missing anything.

In order for Bush to have taken control of LA in the manner that Larry proscribes he would have essentially would have to have invoked the clause for putting down an insurgency. That is a serious, serious invokation, to say the least.

Before I get jumped all over, that is my recollection of the legal jargon when this was a hot-topic.

We also have to remember that Katrina was freaking huge and not like most storms.

That is putting it mildly.

I remember watching C-SPAN within a few months of Katrina and its aftermath, and how to deal with it, was debated. I don't remember which congressman it was, but a congressman laid out how this was the 'perfect storm'.

He likened its effects to the wet-dream of military first-strikes.

The rescue and recovery was bungled on all levels. That said, you raise an excellent point - we mustn't forget that the havoc wreaked by this storm was rare, if not unique.

Negaqtorty. Dubya declared a national Emerghency which puits the Primary responsibility upon the Federal Government as per the Department of Homeland Security's Order.

Larry

Larry's correct, the President has the authority to do all the above mentioned things. But it is usually the state and local authorities, as well as the individual, that handle pre-landfall evacuations. The Carolinas, FL, and TX all have very good evacuation plans from what I've seen (TX is the only one I've seen in action, but it only takes one trip to the Carolina or FL coast to see the evac signs on the roads). There's no doubt that the federal response could have been better, but to blame it all on Bush and overlook the state and local authorities total screw-up is ridiculous. I have a feeling if the roles were reversed, Republican state authorities and a Dem POTUS, a lot of you who are railing against the fed response would somehow find a way to blame the local authorities.

Evangelicals prayed for raid to ruin Obama's event tonight. Well, now it looks like a hurricane will hit the Gulf shore of America reminding us of how feeble and tragic the reaction to Katrina was by the Bush Administration.

raid=rain They prayed for rain

From your quote, Larry:

Indeterminingwhether or not such an emergencyexists, the President shall consultthe Governor of any affected State, if practicable

There you go. The federal government did indeed consult the governor. She said "no" until it was too late.

So how was it Bush's fault again?

Also, you did not answer my question upthread. I'll repost it:

So, Larry, you feel that Blanco and Nagin did the right thing in waiting until the last minute to order an evacuation. Nagin did the right thing in not getting people to high ground and that he did the right thing in waiting for the feds to evacuate hospitals?

It is all up to the feds?

Why do we need state and local governments, then? To make sure the good times roll, but ignore the bad?

Larry,

I don't challenge your factual knowledge.

That said, for the Federal government to usurp State jurisdiction in this manner would have been most un-precedented.

Please note - this is not a defense of Bush. At best, it's a neutrality. At worst, it's an indictment of his impotence to take action, despite the legal consequences, when action was clearly needed.

To be sure, if Bush had taken such measures, he would have been castigated as much more of a tyrant than he already is. However, tough shit! The top-job involves tough decisions and the stones to carry those decisions through.

In regards to Katrina - Bush acted in accordance to law - to his detriment (and to the citizens of NOLA). Furthermore, FEMA was incompetent when it emerged on the scene. It took a military ass-kicker to get things in gear during the aftermath.

All of that taken into account, Katrina exposed other weaknesses - the reliance upon government, or any other entity to resolve problems. The local populace really shoud have been more independent and less willing to wait for the all-powerful government to rescue them.

Negatory Goatman Did did request the help august 26 2005
Oh and Dubya could have acted without Her request at any time and It was His responsibility when He dceclared the area a National Emergency. Please do try again Goatmanm for You know not what You speak about as usual.

Furthermore, FEMA was incompetent when it emerged on the scene

FEMA could have done a better job, certainly. But in their defense, they had never faced a disaster of this magnitude and probably didn't even know how to drill for one. I think they learned a lot, just as we all do from our mistakes going through life.

JeffJ when Dubya declared the area a National Emergency that put the Primary responsibility upon the Federal Government. There was no Legal consequenses He could have faced if He did supposedly usurp the local and State officials. Once He declared it that was the end of it.

Larry

Larry: You keep avoiding my question: Do you think Nagin and Blanco did the right things? Did they do all they could do?

They DID drill for one a Year earlier. Try looking up the Hurricane Pam exersize and then get back with Me on them not drill for one.

Larry

I agree, Goat.

What is ironic is that whoever replaces Bush will likely face a similar disaster and will receive all sorts of praise for 'fixing FEMA' when all of said fixes were modifications of approach due to experience gained from Katrina.

So, Larry, you feel that Blanco and Nagin did the right thing in waiting until the last minute to order an evacuation--

YEAH!

As if they are anymore capable of being in multiple places doing multiple things than Bush is! Remember that excuse goat?

Anyway, the reason people didnt leave had nothing to do with who called what evacuation when.

People didnt leave because they had become complacent and accustomed to storms blowing in resulting with little to no damage. They didnt take the storm seriously.

They reacted and behaved mush like bl2 did the other day! Their arrogance was their undoing and their false sense of preparedness is what did them in.

You can have hundreds of pounds of dry goods, thousands of batteries, hundreds of gallon of water and they will do you no good if underwater or washed away. Even the best prepared and fortified you are does little when a storm of this magnitude rolls over you.

The real shame here isnt that a city and its people were caught unsuspecting, but rather our callousness and failure as a country to react in a timely fashion to our suffering countrymen!

You keep avoiding my question, as usual, Larry. The fact that you are indicates to me that you are to embarassed to say, "Yes, goatman, Blanco and Nagin fucked up. They could have done a lot more than they did. They should not have let busses sit idle. They should have ordered an evacuation two days earlier. They should have gotten people to higher ground so that they would not have to sit on their rooftops."

Can you admit it, Larry? Why not?

Do you think Nagin and Blanco did the right things? Did they do all they could do?

I'll answer this by amending of your own points, if you don't mind:

[Blanco, Nagin and the Feds] could have done a better job, certainly. But in their defense, they had never faced a disaster of this magnitude and probably didn't even know how to drill for one. I think they learned a lot, just as we all do from our mistakes going through life.

Again, I think officials were pressured into not calling for an evacuation earlier by various business groups and the local government for monetary reasons. I seriously doubt that will happen again.

As if they are anymore capable of being in multiple places doing multiple things than Bush is!

???

An evacuation can be ordered from the mayor's or governor's office. So can orders to evacuate people in low lying areas. So can orders to get people out of hospitals. WTF are you talking about redneckshill. As usual, you think a democrat can do no wrong, which of course makes you wrong as ever. LOL

They didnt take the storm seriously

Sounds to me the mayor and governor weren't doing their job. NO had never been in the bull's eye of a cat 5. The local government should have explained the difference between Katrina and past storms.

Ahh, redneckshill. You never fail to deliver, do you. LOL

Try looking up the Hurricane Pam exersize and then get back with Me on them not drill for one.

I will if you look up the failures of the local governments and get back with me, OK, Larry? Deal?

Yes I believe they did the right thing Goatman. Blanco did the right thing by asking for help and Ray Nagin I believe did do right instead of evacuating to have nothing come of the evacuation too early didn't give a false sense of oh its all the same thing all worry warts. Too many false evacuations too early would just make people ignore the real ones.

Larry

night

Again, I think officials were pressured into not calling for an evacuation earlier by various business groups and the local government for monetary reasons.

I think you have a valid point, but it still falls back on the government. They should not allow themselves to be pursuaded by ANYONE when life is in danger. And how could Nagin and Blanco not know that people living below sea level were in danger with a cat 5 headed their way? I know the rest of the world watching on TV and reading the papers knew nothing but bad would come of that. Why didn't the mayor and governor?

But as was said before, it will probably never happen again.

Yes I believe [Nagin and Blanco] did the right thing Goatman

Wow. I advise you never run for a political office, Larry. All your opponent would have to do is to dig this retort out of the DR archives and your chances of election would be zero.

They should not allow themselves to be pursuaded by ANYONE when life is in danger.

I absolutely agree, but back to your point - I don't think anyone on any level expected this, nor had the experience with anything of this magnitude.

I thought there was evidence for years, tax, stating that the levees couldn't stand up to a katrina style direct hit. the argument always wound up being about who was going to foot the bill.

Well, it's clear it's evacuation day. The galley is closed and it's cold cuts, bread, chips, and soda on the table in the break room for lunch. *grin*

Are you kidding me! Is that the best defense you can muster for Nagin and Blanco, that if they would have ordered the evac no one would have paid attention! Wow, that's weak.

one thing that WONT happen.....HOUSTON WILL NOT OPEN ITS DOORS TO NO SCUMBAGS THIS time the way we did before...........good people.....sure but not all the crooks and punks........

It's almost surreal here. The sea is in one of those extremely rare states where it is literally like glass. It is hard to believe that in a few days this rig will probably have 80' waves and 120 MPH winds buffeting it.

We are literally on the dotted line of this projected path:

So when things went wrong during Katrina and a democrat was governor, it wasn't the Democrat's fault. But if the governor is Republican, it will be his fault if something goes wrong?

I hardly think that that was a natter of national importance when the damn place flooded.

Good interactive map in the link below.

On the map, as of 8 a.m. today, looks as though Gus is on track to hit shore right between Houston and New Orleans.

CNN reported the Governor of LA has now declared a State of Emergency.

As can be expected, Houston is all over Gus watching it minute by minute.
Below is a great link to the Houston Chronicle's "Hurricane Central" webpage.
Lots of good links within, up to date reports, maps/radar/videos.

Will Gus put your beloved golf course under 5 feet of storm surge?

Sure hope not. lol

Karl Rove is being flown by Hurricane Hunter to a ship off the Louisiana coast with orders to, "blow back".

actually only one hole ever gets a lot of water. good drainage system..........of course if it comes right here.....the 4th hole MIGHT be a little windy into the breeze.
its 150 to the pin so I might have to hit a pitching wedge instead of a sand wedge........LOL

why the hell are they rebuilding that area below sea level? Nature came and done took it away, and a few barriers are no match for that engine of a hurricane. So stupid. zippo sympathy.

Here in FL people who aren't in flood zones aren't required by their mortgages to carry flood insurance, and now the same clowns r on TV crying cause they wanted to save the $500 and OOOPPPS their house is trashed. "it can't happen here...."

You're right. You've got to keep your homeowners' insurance up to date.
I just upped the amount of my earthquake insurance to be on the safe side.

I've lived in south Louisiana all of my life. I always took care of myself and my family. rode out some pretty nasty ones and I can say without reservation I don't look forward to it.
My mom and dad live over at Gulfport. They stayed with me for Katrina (ended up staying a month). I remember driving my dad to his house to assess the damage about a week after Katrina passed.... I'm a big ole boy and it brought tears to my eyes when I saw what people had to endure...

FU Warho and company, How dare you say these impoverished people need to carry insurance, much less flood insurance. How elitist of you. These people are poor and deserve a free ride irregardless of the costs to the US.

We all must pay for them, that's how it will work in obama's world. Pull together, pay more, say yes we can, give money away to those who refuse to work and save. Take money from those who do save, give it to freeloaders, feel warm and fuzzy all over...ENJOY!

They DID drill for one a Year earlier. Try looking up the Hurricane Pam exersize and then get back with Me on them not drill for one.

So, how come the city and state got caught with their panties down around their ankles? The mayor screwed up before the storm by not evacuating the people and the govenor screwed up right after the storm by not sending the guard in right away and asking for the feds. The feds did screw up also but there is more than enough blame to go around for all.

As for the COE, I guess they arn't as good as mother nature is bad.

They could build for the thousand year flood but you wouldn't want to pay the bill. All it takes is cubic money.

If Bush was chosen by God to be president, he must have pissed God off by soemthing he said or did. All these hurricanes are just so embarassing. And now, just before the GOP's convention, too. Isn't the hurricane going to hit NOLA just about when the GOPs were goind to show the film -- "Praises of the GW Bush Administration"?

My favorite clip of post-Katrina mayhem was of the half-bald black guy wading through the water after looting a flooded liquor store! He was wading accross the street with 2 six-packs of Heineken in his arms! Anyone who remembers that one and finds it please post it too!!!

Can't find the white trash, but I found this one...no whites in sight though.

Google Looterman and you'll find the Heinekin

My favorite Katrina pic was of the guy who had looted a Baskin Robbins store, and was pulling one of the freezer cases down the street. You know--the things at the counter that hold the tubs of ice cream?

He probably thought he was going to sell it on eBay. Assuming he knew what eBay was. Assuming he had a computer . . . he didn't look too bright, but God loves all His little children.
