| Yeah. Marshal law was just declared. They've deployed combat ready troops. |

Originally posted by alte Hexe Of course Lisbon got rebuilt into a totally different city. I think what will happen with regards to New Orleans in the coming months and years will help determine the present quality of our civilization. |

| Mmmmmm. I don't know. There is something really unsettling about this. There is so much wrong with this scenario according to the reports I've been reading. Of course, Portugal has never recovered from that earthquake...and well, it took the British empire to rebuild the city. :-\ (edited by alte Hexe on 08-30-05 10:49 PM) |

Originally posted by alte Hexe I mean really it just seems so apocalyptic. I mean, it took what, 12 hours after the storm passed, for that levee to break? Why and how did that levee break then? This with the Gulf Stream slowing down, the Great Tsunami of 2004, and the more chaotic weather of the past few years, is really unsettling. I mean Katrina destroyed cities! |

| Yeah... I thought that New Orleans COULDN'T get any worse after yesterday. You know... get the storm yesterday, flooding in some areas of the city, clear things up in around a week or two (well, enough to have the city functioning again). But now... eeeeech. |

Originally posted by beneficiiOriginally posted by Arwon I dunno man, can you imagine what 9 metre (30 foot, i guess) storm surges and rapidly smashed levees would have done to New Orleans, a city below sea level? And that level of rapid flooding, on top of the level of destruction that we've seen the strongest part of the storm could do? You'd have had a lake of smashed debris where NO is now. I'm not marginalising the destruction in Mississippi by any means... I mean, it looks like it has been nuked, but I'm just thinking about just how much bigger and more vulnerable the Big Easy was because of its position. How many people were still in the 'bowl' who would've been utterly fucked by that scenario of über-destruction PLUS massive multi-storey-high flooding? We'd be talking deaths in the thousands (assuming we aren't now). (edited by Arwon on 08-31-05 02:59 AM) (edited by Arwon on 08-31-05 02:59 AM) |

| I heard this morning on the news that there's a moat surrounding the Superdome. It's about 4 to 5 feet deep and it's pretty much hard to get inside by walking. Oh, and of course all the cars that were parked there before the hurricane hit are completly destroyed. | |||

| Well, they're moving them from one dome to another now... Superdome to Astrodome (in Houston, Texas). There was a report on CTV here that we've offered help to the Americans but they refused it... so don't come crying to us.  |

Just read that they're going to evacuate the people left and they won't be able to return back for another 4 months or more  .I guess they think they got everything under control here.. |

| I barely heard about transfrring the people from the Superdome to the Astrodome. The advantage that the Astrodome has is that it has working toilets and AC. | |||

| Eek, they say by tonight, all of Orleans will be completely submersed in water. I TOLD YOU the Superdome idea was a bad one. |

| I don't think they should have had a shelter(superdome) there in New Orleans at all. They all should have got the hell out long ago. I read things on this little yahoo news update that I get when I log onto this SBC Yahoo homepage of mine. (edited by Bella on 08-31-05 06:52 PM) |

| This is not just affecting the people of New Orleans. There are several oil refineries in New Orleans, and since it's getting pretty wet down there, many gas stations in Georgia have jumped their prices up by a dollar, and now it's getting really expensive.... and I thought it was high several, several months ago when it was below $2! Some people here are buying gas in jugs in large quantities and reserving them for later usage. | |||

| Army Corps say: "Water has become level with the Lake in the city so no more water should flow into the city, except at high tide." This is gonna take months or years to clear up, surely. |

Originally posted by dark ludwig Yeah, they were saying before the hurricane hit that those refineries were going to be down for awhile and to expect gas prices to jump up. Not sure if it's exaaactly Yahoo but it asks me what news I want on my homepage |
