A quick and dirty site I whipped up during the storm that flooded me and my family out of our home in miami.

[jcadam]

wow, maybe this hurricane will finish the job of sinking New Orleans?

[wdlove]

Scary stuff. I wish all those in the path of Katrina all the best. My prayers are with you. Try to make yourself safe.

[MindFad]

Dang, you had it pretty bad. Compared to us—there's no water near us. We're still without power, though.

[Kerrigan]

Uh oh, New Orleans is fuct.

[chris v]

4th strongest hurricane EVER RECORDED. If you are in southern LA or Mississippi, GET OUT.

[paul w]

Please, oh Lord, spare New Orleans.

God damn, I didnt realize it was that powerful. I've missed out on this info over the past few days. Good luck to our New Orleans friends.

[Ghoser777]

Sh*t. From abcnews.com:

Estimates have been made of tens of thousands of deaths from flooding that could overrun the levees and turn New Orleans into a 30-foot-deep toxic lake filled with chemicals and petroleum from refineries, and waste from ruined septic systems.

[Kerrigan]

30 foot deep pool of toxic waste with 10s of thousands of dead people floating around?

I doubt it'll be THAT bad

That's the kind of stuff news networks report when they aren't getting enough ratings

A joke about starting crappy threads when you don't have enough attention is in the works somehwere, I bet.

I'm in BR right now. If you're here, you're here. We could attempt to evacuate but not sure we'd get too far. BR is a huge bottleneck of EVERYONE evacuating the area. I-10 & I-12 merge into each other at the Mississippi and have created chaos. All the N.O. evacuees are stuck on the interstate and running out of gas and there's not too many places around to refuel. Nutty stuff.

[nredman]

i will pray for all those in the path of the hurricane and hopefully there won't be too much damage.

just a side note...i think god is finally had it with mardi gras

[Kerrigan]

What is BR? Belgian Rhineland?

Ah, nah. I wasn't being mean. Just a smarmy ass.

[AlfaMunky]

Wow, I just got back from work and checking out the mildew stank that my house is now infested with. My family went through Hurricane Andrew. That was bad, this caused damage too but all from rain damage. Not the wind that a Cat. 5 like Andrew had.

Now that this sucker has ramped up to a Cat. 5 I am amazed by it's size. If it packs the rain it did in my area but made worse by the wind speed and size that it now has; I hope only for the best for those in New Orleans.

I saw a Discovery Channel special about a year ago about the worst case senario of a Cat. 4 or greater hitting New Orleans. It didn't seem to good.

I maybe an atheist... but start praying to something if you or some one you care about is in New Orleans.

Help us, Jebus?

[IFLY2HIGH]

Up here in NC they are already projecting flooding and have been releaseing most of the dams in the area to prepare. I don't like to see anyone get hurt and lose their house and belongings cause it totally blows.

In the mean time, how bout them gas price, wheeee the price will go up and up now since they have shut down the refiners in the gulf, more profit for the gas companies to look forward to.

[Kerrigan]

Good maybe with all those prayers, the whole south will receive God's love

[KeriVit]

If New Orleans gets anything like that, it is big trouble. Let's hope not.

Oh and eff off Kerrigan.
