It's not the weight of the buildings. It's the weight of hundreds of feet of sediment upon which the buildings are built actually deforming the lithosphere. In addition, the silt coming down the river builds the river higher and higher above the elevation of the city.
and 100 of those were in Virginia from flooding...
WDSU reports that Harrison County and Gulfport experienced "unprecedented" storm surge.
Ever seen a gas stove?
Add these 80 to the "we": http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1472260/posts
LOL!!!! What a typo! LOL!!!!
Wont work. With Camille too, the lore of 'it always jogs east' combined with the cat drop from the outlying areas will only be stronger for those who own businesses in the french quarter.
I've lived on the coast most of my life. It is just what we live with. We start preparations each May.
Like they did in the olden days, perhaps...that thing called "fire"....
About 16 drops of household bleach per gallon to disinfect water.
Some folks have gas stoves, and bbq's. Also charcoal bbq's.
I swear yesterday right before her outer bands touched the shoreline, she had a perfect circle for an eye and she looked like a friggin' buzz saw. Gave me chills down my spine.

I've been waiting for the swans neck(storm system from north) to attach to the body(hurricane), it did today and now it's going to propell the hurricane right back up the eastern states like a sling shot.
Mother Nature, ahhh- FLIPPIN--m-a-z-i-n-g ! I noticed how the weather casters have played that part down. Only one tip toed around it. Hmmm?
When Katrina was called Camille II, fatality counts are what sprung to mind.
I have people in both Mandeville and Slidell who rode it out but have not heard from them since last night..hoping for the best..
Any ham radio operators out there hear anything?
I remember that stuff...
"I hope that damned fool didn't kill anybody besides himself."
No skid marks in the dirt. I wonder if a 180MPH type gust blew him off the road.
Oh Lord. The Camille reference was ominous. It also seemed Haley barbour suspected it was bad. I had heard it mentioned earlier that the surge was "worse than Camille." The "Camille II" reference also isn't good.
I totally agree. I can't imagine what President Bush was thinking of, trying to tack a statement about immigration onto the end of a statement about a hurricane which is likely to kill upwards of a thousand people. Fox did him a favor by cutting him off -- too bad they weren't running with a few seconds delay, so they could have cut him off before anyone heard it.
