Drakron Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Well NO location means they must be used to floods right now, they could not even burry their dead because the coffins would float out of the graves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 You do have to wonder about why the place became a city. Back in the day you had to add various swamp bugs and fevers to the problems. I should also add to you foreigners that the Uk does not get massive disasters like this on a regular basis. Nor do we have venomous animals, reptiles, or giant flying space clams. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

metadigital 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What? California is Hell on Earth! Every year they have plagues and earthquakes hurricanes and huge fires ..!

Calax Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Locusts I haven't heard about, from what I remeber they are primairly a SoCal Problem. I'm in the north/central area with Eru. we mainly have troubles with the mosquitos and West Nile Virus, and some flooding but the flooding was only really bad twice in the past decade, before that we had 40 years of no flood.

kumquatq3 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 New Orleans is actaully getting worse: n New Orleans, meanwhile, water began rising in the streets Tuesday morning, apparently because of a break on a levee along a canal leading to Lake Pontchartrain, and prompted the evacuation of hotels and offices. New Orleans lies mostly below sea level and is protected by a network of pumps, canals and levees. Many of the pumps were not working Tuesday morning. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050830/ap_on_...HNlYwMlJVRPUCUl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumquatq3 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Um.....how the hell isn't this a bigger story. A city that is known by many in the world is currently 80% under water, and the water is rising. There is talk about the city being a total loss and it's like nobody gives a **** really. hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
