Walsingham Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/4193244.stm I really love the quotes that the Beeb has collected. My favourite absolutely must be the one by the Rev. T Hogblanket. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Cantousent Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Quite interesting. I lived on Guam a while back and it was hit by typhoons every now and again and again.

Calax Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 better hope you have flood insurance. I'm just happy I'm in CA where the closest thing we have to a natural disaster locally is a minor earthquake every few days (minor as in it barly bumps your cup.) Eru can testify to this.

Dark Moth Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 This is exactly why I'm glad I don't live in Florida. Up here, the last flood major flood we got was when Hurricane Ivan passed through (boy, that was fun). And of course, no earthquakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also HIGHLY regret not going down there when I could have. Not that I passed up a specific offer or something, but it's a place I always wanted to see without a wetsuit.

kumquatq3 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 and those who couldn't found themselves at that Dome. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. No one is really sure that the Superdome can withstand 170+mph winds 2. They think it will flood on the lower levels. It can hold 80,000 peeps, but they are only letting in 20,000 due to flooding. also, it will most likely lose all power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Doesn't the Dome have its own emergency power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessSarah Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Doesn't the Dome have its own emergency power? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The news report I watched mentioned how uncomfortable it would be in the Dome with no power. So I'm guessing they don't. We're getting some of the side effects in the midwest with some pretty decent storms. I even heard the word tornado mentioned in the forecast this evening. I'll take rain over triple digit heat, which is what we normally get in Nebraska this time of year.

Judge Hades Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Iowa isn't much better in the heat catagory, but it is the humidity that gets you. I do have to agree though, nothing beats a good midwest thunderstorm. It has the right amount of power behind it that its awe inspiring while not overly destructive and the rain does feel nice and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're supposed to get some thunderstorms up here in Ontario later this week from what's left of Katrina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumquatq3 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 New Orleans JUST missed getting alot worse conditions but there are reports of possible severe damage to the superdome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumquatq3 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just saw this: Power failed in the Superdome around 5 a.m. Monday, triggering groans from the crowd. Emergency generators kicked in, but the backup power runs only reduced lighting, not the air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 With a hole in the roof where rain is coming through I doubt they need air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 New Orleans JUST missed getting alot worse conditions That's good news. Does this mean the feared flooding isn't going to be so serious? I heard they were worried about a surge of water from the lake. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
