I’d say the folks around the Indian Ocean are still awfully skittish based on the 300,000 dead caused by the 2004 tsunami. If they’re told to scoot, they’ll scoot.
We got a ton of sailors and ships in that area.
This might make you feel better.

“Whereas a large segment of New Orleans residents with cars stayed put with the approach of a major hurricane, when that is a common occurrence there.”
Yet again you fabricate complete and utter nonsense.
Mr. Cheney finally convinced Mr. Rove to let him use his weather machine for a little “test”.
It was expected to be a Cat 2 by landfall. I’m assuming that’s still the target.
Can Rove steer that thing towards Iran?
The projected track heads right for Iran.
.
So he's got two carrier groups and a cyclone parked off of Iran?
Boy. Talk about great minds and simultaneity!!
I was wondering if we could get our CG out of the way, at least for a week or so.
The carriers can handle a small hurricane, don’t know if anything can handle a strong hurricane.
Its the smaller ships that take a beating in a storm like this. The only real safe spot is about 300 feet down.
Bushler’s fault
Hardly.

In New Orleans, about 91% of the population has access to a car to get out of the city (American Highway Users Alliance, 2006).
Hmm ... 80 percent of the city evacuated. 91 percent had access to a car to evacuate. That meant that rougly half of those who stayed had access to a car but did not leave. Last I checked, half is a large segment.
What are the prevailing winds over Iran?
Will the Storm remnants drop the rain over Kurdistan or Afghanistan?
From what i just read you’re simply assuming that everybody has fled Oman’s shore. The story simply says MORE people fled and 7,000 from one place. Please give us your source for how many stayed, since you seem to know.
Remember that a lot of people didn’t flee the Alabama or Mississippi gulf coasts, either. It wasn’t just NOLA.
Do our carrier groups handle cyclones OK? Seems like this could cause the navy some heartache.
Once again, the fact that Oman has NO experience with hurricanes yet so many are evacuating shows how much apathy there was towards hurricanes along the Gulf Coast.
