Day-m, my prayers to whoever is in the area. Must be a bitch living in a place knowing nature can wipe out your entire neighborhood just like that.

Hey everyone, been out of the loop the last couple days away from work and moving.
Been thinking while watching news coverage - they keep talking about no communication...no phones...no radios...no electricity, to communicate with people still stranded in the city.
Why don't they fly planes overhead with banners that tell people where to go? I know it would take some time to prepare big readable banners, but seems like future disasters should have this in the communication plans.
It's just horrible down there, I keep thinking that if a major city were ever hit by a nuke, this is what it would be like as far as destruction goes (minus the radiation).

i was saying WORST case scenario... it looks like much of the area will be evacuated, they started yesterday. ....hopefully the army core of engineers can get in there and pump the water out. ...for those who dont know new orleans is under sea level, thus the danger.

from CNN:
"So, imagine you're the poor person who decides not to evacuate: Your house will disintegrate around you. The best you'll be able to do is hang on to a light pole, and while you're hanging on, the fire ants from all the mounds -- of which there is two per yard on average -- will clamber up that same pole. And, eventually, the fire ants will win."

it will disrupt oil/gas.... 3 refineries in that area. ...may platforms will be damaged in the gulf... ...as well as the means to fix these paltforms, due to mobile alabama getting hit as well
