I've read scenarios that say a direct hit from an F5 hurricane on New Orleans would devastate the city. Much of the city is below sea level as is, and the massive influx of water from an F5 could leave the entire city underwater. I understand that damming projects have robbed the Mississippi delta of replenishing silt over the years, leaving New Orleans even more vulnerable to such a potential catastrophe.

It appears that hurricane Katrina will be an F5 and that it will give New Orleans a direct hit within the next few days.

Has anyone read anything else on this topic?

I just read about it on the BBC and they say the city is being evacuated, but there are 10 locations being set up for people unable to leave. So maybe parts of the city won't be flooded, or these scenarios were more sensationalism than fact?

I think I read about it in "Discover". Obviously that is the worst case scenario. I guess we'll see what happens.

Aren't you just thrilled that a southern city is about to be oblitrated, Rwingett? After all, Loiusiana was a "Red" state. Maybe this will mean the difference between a Democrat winning the next election? Boy, using Fedral tax dollars to clean up rotting Republicans seems such a waste dosn't it?

Actually, New Orleans is one southern city that I would gladly consent to spare. From what I hear it's much more entertaining than your standard bible belt city. It must be that French influence.

Yeah, that French influence where they bathe weekly whether they need to or not, but yeah, I like New Orleans too, so I hope not too many Republicans and drag queens get hurt, or worse, killed....

Perhaps www.godhatesfags.com will have something to say about this as they took such gleeful delight in the tsunami that took care of the homosexual Swedes. Bastards.

Homosexual Swedes? Tsunamis? I don't think they have very many tsunamis in the Baltic Sea. Or am I missing something here?

They were all vacationing in Thailand and Indonesia while engaging in lewd acts with little boys. Did you not know that the Swedes had a propensity for this?

I don't think the Swedes are the only ones who go to Thailand for that purpose. Thailand seems to have a certain notoriety for that sort of thing. I heard it was a favorite vacation spot for Roman Catholic clergy (oops, did I say that?)
