Amazon 7 #26 September 15, 2004 Katee dear.. get the family and head to the NW.. this is a storm similar to Camile.. that killed SOOO many people long ago. This is the kind of storm that washes away cities like Galveston. This is a storm like Andrew that flattened almost ALL of the homes and structures in the area south of Miami. All of you down there.. this is not something to stay for... unless you are at least 30 to 40 ft above sea level.. and in a friggin CONCRETE BUNKER. LEave... now.....no false bravado.... once the winds start and the water starts rising is NOT the time to discover that you have SCREWED UP BIG TIME... and WISHED you had left and all you have left is one hell of a lot of praying. Please.. Leave and go inland.WAY INLAND Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just another road trip with the fam. 200 miles in any directon would be a good start. I encourage her to evaluate her situation and make whatever choices she feels are appropriate. Me? I'd get me and my family the fuck out of there. As my buddy Nipplboy says, "Safety first, fun forever!" BSBD, Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is, very shortly after the predictions pretty much assure you have a bullseye painted on you, the roads out of town turn into parking lots. Sitting in a car on the Interstate during a Cat 4 hurricane wouldn't be a sound choice (well, I have to admit, it is kind of appealing, don't you think?). If you wait till that time, I'd look at where would be the best place to ride out the storm locally. It might be your home, public shelter. It seems to me most airport parking garages are built like brick shit houses. Good luck to both you and Kalyne ...take video!! Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #40 September 15, 2004 They announced on the news this morning that New Orleans is getting the body bags ready. They fear that close to 50,000 people will be in deadly flood zones and they have a worst case scenario of 10,000 dead. They also mentioned that a few spots to the east of the city are actually lower than New Orleans without any protection. Just curious - how far from the beach are you, and what is your elevation? I just took a drive down I-10 a few months back and it looked like the interstate was the highest point in that area._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Thanks Jeanne for that link, and for those that didn't click it and actually read, here's two quotes, a before, and an after picture: QuoteThe resulting property damage was so complete, that sections of the Mississippi coast seemed to vanish.QuoteAlthough the damage in all of southern Mississippi was appalling, within about 1/2 mile from the ocean, most of the structures seemed to have just vanished. Only footings and slabs remained. Even plumbing systems had been removed. Get out, please.It's your life, live it!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChasingBlueSky 0 #45 September 15, 2004 This was on accuweather today: Depending on the exact strength of Hurricane Ivan at landfall, a severe to catastrophic storm surge will flood coastal areas. Due to the extremely powerful onshore winds which occur on the eastern side of a northward-moving hurricane, the highest storm surge will occur over and just to the east of where the eye moves onshore. The current AccuWeather.com forecast has landfall occuring just west of Mobile, Alabama. The shape of Mobile Bay will cause the storm surge to funnel northward up into bay. If landfall occurs just west of Mobile, it could produce catastrophic flooding and damage to Mobile._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
