Must be hard to leave in panic like that, and know that most of your property will likely be destroyed when you return. You have only a few hours to pack, and can only bring what you can fit into your car.

A war-like situation.

Yeah after this I can predict Bush declaring a War on Weather...

This must have happened several times over the past 100 years?

It's a slow news season. But the last hurricane that directly hit NO was 1965's Betsy, which was only a Cat 3 and still caused about 70 deaths, IIRC...

If people are evacuated early, like they have been this time, loss of life assosciated with hurricanes is very low...like I said earlier in the other thread, the move by the mayor to evacuate has probably saved many many lives.

I can't remember any major city ever evactuating like this before, even in Florida, Miami hasn't ever evacuated, have they?

I know the Keys ALWAYS evacuate but don't know about major cities there...

The weather is either WITH US, or they are AGAINST us!!!

You are aware that 1000s of people are going to die here, this is not something to joke about.

**Ted Striker** · August 28, 2005, 19:48

Like you are one to talk first of all Mister Let's Nuke Iran

Secondly, 1000s of people are not going to die that's why they were evacuated, DUH

The thread title has become far more appropriate in the last few days.

Lets hope damage is not as bad as the warnings have been. According to the statistics by the Weather Channel, most of the people who will die form this storm will die from inland flooding, so Mississippi could have more fatalities than Louisiana.

Millions of people will die if Iran uses nukes, and nukes are used back. Firstly.

Secondly, over 100,000 CAN'T I REPEAT CAN'T LEAVE NEW ORLEANS.

**Ted Striker** · August 28, 2005, 20:35

Iran doesn't have nukes genius.

Anyway, I can't take someone seriously who is trying to claim moral high ground after just a few days ago asking to nuke other people, most of them innocent.
