New Orleans ... Gustav vs Katrina

PICK3

New member
The coastal areas and the Westbank (west of the Miss River) are going to be inundated by storm surge like never seen before in history.

The city proper will probably suffer flooding as a result of the pumps inability to keep up with rainfall, but I expect the levees of the interior canals to hold this time.

In summary, the bulk of the damage will be in lesser populated areas, but the total devastation of some smaller coastal towns is probable.
 
I wish I had your sentiments
Katrina missed New Orleans and the levees still were uprooted
This hurricane will be stronger then Katrina and the town will take more of a hit this time then last

*edit*
I forgot about the Industrial Canal in NO East... The water rose over the levee. I don't see how this will be any different
The town is also sinking 1/2 in a year... So NO is 1.5 inches lower then when Katrina hit
*edit*

The new George Bush hurricanes seem to hate us

The interior canals, e.g, 17th St., London Ave., and Orleans, were fortified and more importantly have some sort of gate/pump at the lake entrance which will impeded the surge enough to prevent the levees from breaching.

The IHNC and areas in the lower 9th are still vunerable.

I dunno Pick3, they had been working on 17th street canal (used to live in that area) ever since Katrina. That place where it broke over there by Two Tony's in BuckTown has been under construction the whole time...but I hadn't seen any work south of there

Hope you're right

This one has the potential to be way more devastating than Katrina. Not only because it will hit stronger, but because most probably NO will be on the east side of the storm. Under Katrina, NO was on the west side (weak side) of the storm. I feel sad. I've been twice there for Mardi Gras and that town is special; not to mention the most wonderful food in the world. Just save the french quarter so we have titties forever.
 
Hurricane Gustav is George Bush's fault. That son of a bitch!:verygood:


I swear if one person actually tries to blame our government for the hurricane I'm gping to nuke that place. Pick3 stay in alabama.

Well it was GW's fault no one was prepared before.

Now everyone seems prepared. Does GW get props this time?

No, it wasn't GW's fault they weren't prepared. He's not a babysitter. It was the local government's fault. The Governeor of louisiana, the local HOR, senate, mayors and congressman. They are the one's who are responsible for the unpreparedness of their own cities, not George Bush.
 
ah beeez mo' worried about the levies that did NOT fail during katrina.......still plenty of old levies stretches to break....:worried:

agreed


And on a side note, when you go back to the city when this is all said and done, can you PLEASE give Pick3 a big smack upside the head for me? His refusal to leave until the last minute is really grinding my gears.

Now that Gustav is 115mph now I feel that it will be less destructive then Katrina

NO wasn't on the northeast quadrant of Katrina. It very well may be on Gustav. If so, Gustav will be more destructive to NO proper. Plus the storm surges will be higher in Eastern LA. Instead of the major storm surge being in Gulfport east to Dauphin Island, it will be from Fort Morgan east to Pass Christian that will feel the brunt of the water damage. NO should hope for a more Eastward track than projected.

Lot of Katrina "shell shocked" peeps up in here.

Believe me, you western Gulf people are amateurs when it comes to storm tracking. The worst storm surges and wind wall is on the NE quadrant. You'd rather have a storm pass just east of you than just west.
 
I'd like to see it make a hard left (like 90 degrees), plow mexico, and then have it's remains dump a shit ton of rain on las vegas......it probably wouldnt even be a thunderstorm by the time it made it to us....

This storm has broken every convention.

It was expected to blow up and strengthen to a CAT 5 when if passed the loop current, but it actually weakened.

Also, the convention is for the bulk of the punch to come from the NE quadrant, but for Gustav there's more activity in the SW quandrant.

That's because of shear that is expected to dissipate. But the higher TS activity in the SE quadrant has nothing to do with the storm surge. Storm surge is water piled up by the rotational winds.

Not worried about surge in Bucktown.
 
PICK3 said:

Went to St. Francisville. Zero traffic up Airline Hwy.

It his up there and we lost power, so I came home.

Power was retored in Bucktown at about 7 p.m. last night.

Sweet!! I'm leaving Houston tonight to drive home and check my place out. Then I'm going to help my Mom and others clean their mess on the MS Coast. I'm suppose to go back offshore sunday night but haven't heard yet if it's still a go.

I agree it's a pain in the ass to load up shit and hope you didn't leave anything everytime we evacuate. Then to come home and clean up all the mess and lose everything in you're fridge and freezer!
