I just hope that once this finally ruins New Orleans we aren't subject to a whole bunch of sappy documentaries about helping people in New Orleans.

Spike Lee's was great, but if anything, anyone who saw it should have thought "Huh, this was a really bad place to live - we made it out alive, so we should probably move, huh?"

Rebuilding New Orleans was no different than rebuilding a sandcastle a foot from the water line at low tide. Sure, you might have some fun in the sun during the day, but when things get dark, your shit is going to be ruined.

Would it be ironic if the city burned down?

I guarantee you once that storm hits New orleans and drowns it, people will still be celebrating Madi Gras next year. Somehow....

It isn't as bad as it could have been. I just hope the hurricanes chill out while I am in Jamaica.

in the epic words of the great Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip....

"New Orleans just sunk, and 900 people didn't know how to swim......"

Well, I guess I will find out how Jamaica fared.

Leaving in a few hours to catch my flight to Jamaica!!

That second hurricane on the map gif looks substantially larger. That would be disastrous.

I would have not gone if I were you. Jamaica is shit at the moment. Everything is flooded and destroyed. No point in going. I don't know, it sounds like a crappy vacation to me.

edit:

it's such a large storm we're getting rain and wind from it here in miami

Damn. Mandatory evacuations across Louisiana and the Houston, TX area. The worst part is that they're expecting that all of the newly-built reinforced levees that replaced the broken Katrina ones won't even be strained - the bulk of the storm surge will affect more old levees on the other side of the city - the same sort that failed three years ago during Katrina.

Is the storm starting to move westward as the meteorologists predicted, a couple days ago? Or staying on the same heading that it was going, when coming up the gulf?
