2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

However you all want to justify it in your heads, you are all talking the lives of fellow Americans. Specifically ones in New Orlenas (which a recent WC picture still shows as quite over water).

Shocking how callous some of you are. I hope you never excpet any sympathy for issues for yourselves- quite the opposite should happen based on your attitudes toward other people.

BTW, the cost of the Northridge quake was $15B that you got to help pay for.

Not sure how much damage tornados cost.

And it would be interesting to see the number of repeat customers from Issac, which I suspect is few.

Tell you what, if your town gets washed out every 20 years do you think that's something we need to keep resurrecting?

No problem, it's pretty neat/fun to use my knowledge of the waterways affected by this to help you guys understand things a little better than what the media reports would say.

i heard a media report tell me that the mississippi river had a storm surge up river of 9ft into NOLA early in the storm... but they were already 7ft under normal because of the drought. so it was only 2ft over normal - not even close to any flood issue.

And now with Isaac hitting NOLA, we've missed Hurricane Kirk and TS Leslie... Unless we're arguing about something, this thread is forgotten. SLACKERS!!!

Yep, this was a much better scenario than Katrina since the entire Mississippi River is so low, bordering on record low levels. Yes, there was still flooding in several places, but most of that was simply due to a slow moving hurricane dumping rainfall on low laying areas that don't drain very well. Placquemine's levees were known to be in trouble before the storm made landfall, as they were trying to strengthen them up until landfall, unfortunately it didn't work.

Even by this post, NO didn't get washed away. Which is the focus of so much hate. Heck, they didn't even get much damage.

Now, I see that the govenor and President are working together to understand why places what didn't get much damage during Katrina got it this time, and how to prevent it. And they are of different parties. Amazing.

And there's also Michael way out in the Atlantic- http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?5-daynl#contents

Wonder if Mike is helping Leslie move more west???? (I'm not a weather guy- just keep an eye out for my In-Laws)

Uh, New Orleans is the subject of all the hate. That's not New Orleans, nor it is below ground.

So your point is???

Besides, my real beef is that so many of you were wishing that people homes would get lost. Forgive me, but that's just pathetic. Hoping that people's lives get disrupted that badly, possibly being killed, how you can ever claim to have some kind of moral high gound on any subject what so ever is beyond me.

If you sleep more soundly hoping that people lives get ruined, well, you need a lot of help, IMHO.

I don't wish their homes to be lost, I just wish we would stop dumping that much money in a hole that gets hit by hurricanes as often as it does.

OK, so take the nitwit who has lost FIVE houses now down in the bayou. You feel sorry for her that she hasn't moved to a safer area? After she doesn't get the hint the second or maybe even third time, I have zero sympathy for that. None.

Again, you are missing my points. Most important was the major wish that New Orleans would be wiped off the map just as they were getting hit. To wish that kind of ill will against fellow Americans is incredibly pathetic in my book, since your problem with that is a few dollars of your taxes. So to want that kind of crap for your money- that takes all moral high ground that you possibly could have totally off the table.

Now to be pretty pleased that someone has lost her home for the 5th time. For your money. Seriously? Yes, perhaps we should look at it and not rebuild in the same area. But so many seem to take a lot of joy in this person's suffering. What did she do to you? Your pathetic little dollars for rebuilding that important?

I leave the last thing- I thought some of you were pro work. This is work.

Bingo. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Ding f*king ding. *KLAXON*.

If it was me, I would think, "D*mn, I have bad luck" after the first one. After the second I would move. It wouldn't be a question.
