Its likely to be a category 5 shortly. Gustav Tracker Some of my posts have links to show all that. I think I pretty much even said this exact thing earlier. Maybe Im BLOCKED.

docron Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 why didnt they just learn the first time and abandon that shithole... just gonna keep comin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 That shithole has been there for hundreds of years--literally--and will be there long after we're gone. Why? Because it's the kind of place that people will fight to preserve because it's worth it. There's nowhere else on earth like New Orleans.

I was just wondering why people feel sorry for these idiots when they know fair and well shit like this happens nearly every year... No it doesn't happen "nearly every year," O ye of short memory. And what about the people who live in the midwest, are they "idiots" because they live in a place where many tornadoes happen every year? What about Californians, are they "idiots" because they live in a state prone to earthquakes, brush fires etc., every year? There's nowhere that isn't prone to natural disasters. Move to Tennessee and get struck by lightning! Some compassion for these "idiots" wouldn't come amiss, but I guess that's unfashionable these days.

Strategy bitches. Tornadoes can strike valleys, you'll be surprised to learn. They can strike anywhere--as I hope you never find out firsthand (and I would never call you an idiot if you do). Valleys are not immune to hurricanes, either. Better get a new strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find funny is that docron is calling a place like New Orleans a shit hole, when the place he says he's from - Detroit - was once named the murder capital of the world. I guess natural disaster is no match for murder. Nowhere is immune to Mother Nature. Even my fair own 'genteel' land. We had a hurricane in 1987 - days after being continually reassured that there wasn't one on the way. So, I guess places like Morpeth, in north east England, are shit hole's being susceptable to flooding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tornadoes that strike in valleys never get a chance to develop and stay pretty small... not enough to do any damage save maybe ripping off some shingles or knocking over a tree... and a hurricane in Michigan? Off what ocean? My flawless strategy remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off what ocean? My flawless strategy remains. The hurricane that hit Britain in 1987 had swept across Europe by the time it arrived, not an ocean (and actually longdistancewinner underestimated a bit, it arrived only minutes after a forecaster who shall remain nameless, OK it was Michael Fish, announced on TV such an idea was ridiculous. Better re-think the tornadoes in valleys, too. There was even a tornado in downtown Atlanta last year--I saw the damage. Repeat--get a new strategy.

pickenpieces Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 The hurricane that hit Britain in 1987 had swept across Europe by the time it arrived, not an ocean Ive read this several times and Im trying to understand. Are you saying a hurricane hit Britain after crossing Europe? Going west, from the continent, not from the ocean? I just read about it. It formed in the Bay of Biscay off the coast of France and tracked north. Technically affecting northwestern France first. But it didnt come off the continental landmass as Id thought I understood from the post. http://www.stvincent.ac.uk/Resources/Weath...vere/oct87.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
