    Does anyone care to wager that New Orleans will be completely washed away come Monday? Isn't the entire city below sea level and only protected by some small sea walls?

    Doesn't Barry live somewhere near there as well?

    Thanks Dwaine. That one is more or less only about Barry though.

    Check out how much of the city is below sea level:

    Does anybody know if a storm this size has ever directly hit New Orleans

    Ok, I just answered my own question about it every having happened before.

    In 1965, Hurricane betsy hit New Orleans with winds of up to 105MPH.

    Flooding approached 20 feet deep in some areas, fishing villages were flattened, and the storm surge left almost half of New Orleans under water and 60,000 residents homeless.

    Here are two links with some good info about that one:
    http://www.hurricanecity.com/betsy.htm
    http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/askjack/2003-10-09-hurricane-betsy_x.htm

    Betsy was a category-4 storm. Katrina is already a Category-5.

    If Pimp would be nice to me I would stop the beams. Then he would be OK again. Talk to him please.

    There are people who think that hurricane was manipulated to run into that region. The area's been hit by five hurricanes in the past year, and how it went from tropical storm to category 5 in a matter of days? That just sort of blows the warm water theory away. www.jmccanneyscience.com Pretty awesome scientist. Internationaly known and respected. If hurricanes are electricaly driven, and this one was beefed up with massive amounts of it, what kind of effect would that have on the New Madrid fault line when it touches land? It would build up lot's of pressure I would think.

    Haha, tinfoil hats, that's funny. Wake up douche, and realize the truth. http://www.jmccanneyscience.com/Sun-Earth-Connection.HTM
    There's snapshot of Katrina's path on there. They try to compensate for the fact that Katrina made a hard right once it hit land by putting a kink in its path in alabama. Before the storm hit, it was heading west of New Orleans, right before it was heaeded straight for the city, and right after it made landfall it turned right and went straight towards mobile and blew off the roofs. The eye completely missed New Orleans, which it shouldn't of AT ALL. What luck that FEMA happened to be stationed Mobile. And no I don't listen to Coast to Coast AM.
