New Orleans; State Of Emergency!

CNN Breaking News;

'Catagory 5 F3 Hurricane' (winds up to 175mph) is about to hit New Orleans, right now they are evacuating, if you cant get out of New Orleans they have designated the super dome to be a shelter for the ppl that cant or have no way of getting out.

like holy shit, i hope everyone gets out or gets to the super dome or 1 of the other 9 last resort shelters.

just fyi, in the last 20 mins the speed of the hurrican has gone from 150mph to 175mph

they are like 5 - 10 feet under sea level and the hurricane is forcing water lvls to rise, its gonna be a tidle wave.

Thats crazy. I hope everyone is able to get to somewhere safe. If there is even anywhere under those conditions.

yea no kidding, they arent doing any thing with the prisioners they are staying in prision, they beefed up security, and they have taken over 10 buildings (including the super dome) as last resort if you can get out in time... watching cnn they keep showing the road out and the road in and ppl are acctually coming in (like 3 cars at a time). WDF!? id be driving down the wrong side of the high way just to get out if i have to, altho i donno where these ppl are gonna go? like all there stuff is in new oreleans, execpt what they was able to pack up and take with them, once they leave and their houses and stuff are gone, i donno its gonna be terrible, they are leaving with no place to go and after the hurricane they wont have anything to go back to... :S

holy shit dude

damn thats crazy, that storm just missed tampa too, last year was a bitch i hope those people dont get it as bad as we did this time last year

Just so you know- It isn't an "F3". That is a Fujita designation for tornados of which the winds in the hurricane are as strong as.

Pressure down to 902 mb

Sustained winds at flight level 184 mph insane.

just got off the phone with my uncle, he lives in new orleans. he was up to jackson mississipi and he said the nearest place he could get a motel was in memphis ten!

Not good. I can see alot of people getting hurt.

We have a few members from that area that I hope are alright.

When you hear let us know, I am worried about everyone over there. Who ever decide to build a city below sea level was a real smart person. :loser:

yeah.. I've never been so happy to be in Miami during hurrican season, we got 90mph gusts and Lv1 cane sustained... the rest of the countrys getting raped by a 5 at 175 sustained!!! my guess is gusts up to 190!! in a region thats even lower than miami and not built to withhold such huge storms. Poor city is gonna be destroyed.

well tampa got lucky this time, im just praying we make out better than we did last year

i feel bad for these ppl, some of them are gonna lose everything :(

Thats why you get heavily insured.

Thats why you get heavily insured.
:iagree: but a lot of the sentimental (sp?) things they will never get back, very sad situation there and i wish them the best of luck...i know where i live in ne kentucky we get flooded pretty bad every few years and homeowner insurance only covers the damages one time so if it floods again we lose whatever gets ruined, very sad situation for them and i wish them the best!

Glad I live in Texas.. worse we get here is tornados.. one time I forgot when I think like 2001 or 02 a freaking tornado actually went downtown! Now that was CRAZY.. But yeah

Hope that everyone out there in Orleans comes out okay.

You saying you live in Texas makes me think of that song.
All my x's live in texas ..lol

yeah hurricanes suck! i had to evacuate 2 times last year within 2 weeks. when we finished unpacking we had to repack.gay! and for the other 2 we stayed. we were just like wtf skrew it our house was fine through the others. lots of roofs flew away though. and we lost lots of fence and vinyl siding. anyways good luck new orleans! get your boats ready....

Who ever decide to build a city below sea level was a real smart person. :loser:

lol, that would be the french. New Orleans.. named after Orléans, France.

Thats crazy. I hope everyone is able to get to somewhere safe. If there is even anywhere under those conditions.

.x2

lol, that would be the french. New Orleans.. named after Orléans, France.

I always thought French people were smart....lol

the hurricane ripped the roof of the super dome, and also the super dome is flooding or has flooded, they had to move everyone up into the stands and shit and there are tons of ppl there.

I hear there are dead people floating everywhere like floating out of graves and such

I hear there are dead people floating everywhere like floating out of graves and such

yea, thats becsaue hte grave yards flooded and the boddies started floating, wow, i feel bad for them ppl, even the ppl that died along time ago as their graves have been disturbed.

Well nothing to do but start cleaning up. I am so glad I live in Oregon. I just have to worry about the sand liquifying when the big earthquack comes. lol

Damn dude that sucks, about the floating bodies and stuff. Did you guys hear about the looters? They're all stealing stuff and the cops dont want to go in there and try to stop them because of the water.

the reason for the bodies is because in places like new orleans they burried the dead above ground, and looters are fucked up, when i was in north dakota back in 97 when the big ass flood messed up everything up that way we did all the patroling because the police didnt have the right equipment and the governor at the time up there gave us a shoot on sight order...talking about fun, man we had speed boats chasing after fools on seado's that shit was crazy..

hey guys i'm from a suburb of new orleans (metairie, which is about 10 minutes away). they aren't letting us back into the city until monday, and then once we're in we only have 24 hours to get our stuff and get back out (hope that changes). it's possible we won't be able to go home and stay there for about a month. me and my family don't know whether our house is underwater or not, but most of the city is, so it's unbelieveably stressfull. thank god we have friends in baton rouge that are letting us stay with them as long as we need to. with the looter situation we have heard that they will shoot them on site. now, that maybe a rumor but i sure hope it's true! as far as we know there has been quite a few casualties but for the most part people were rescued from their rooftops and brought to saftey by the coast guard and other operations. unfortunately there were a few breaches in the levee so more water is still pouring into the city as of this morning, hopefully it has stopped by now. thank you all very much for your concern! :)

Will google earth work to see what condition, your home is in?. Also I wish you the best Cammy, I can't even imagine what its like.

no i don't believe it will. i was told that the pictures aren't recent, but good idea i'm going to try!


i tried and my neighborhood looks like normal, so i know it's not current. :( but thanks for trying.

Holy shit... best of luck, I'm hoping for the best for you, your family and your home

thanks 97 :)

Yeah Cammy, that sucks. Godspeed and hope everything gets better for you.

Also Philly, thats really cool sounding but I bet it wasnt.

yeah it was crazy, and cammy i hope things are ok for u that sucks what u all are going through

Heh I would ask if you did shoot anybody but my ROTC instructor told me that he got pissed whenever someone asked him that because it was his duty to do whatever he did. So if you tell me or not is up to you.

no, i didnt shoot anyone, but i wouldn't hesitate if i was at home and someone tried looting my neighborhood.

Haha I was talking about Philly, not you.

But yeah, how are you online right now? Is it because of your friends where you're staying at?

I wonder how Rob is?. I haven't talked to him since this happen.

For those of you that know Robs71nova , this is a mapquest link of where he lives/lived and his last post was from his house right before the storm. I pray he is ok.

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&address=&city=&state=&zipcode=39576

Wow do you know if he stayed? I dont think he would've been able to move 3 cars on his own to another state..

I believe he did stay.I hope he got out last minute or was one of the lucky one's though but from the looks of the area he is in. They got hit the hardiest.

shit, I hope he's fine... screw the cars, they can be replaced

damn i hope that guy is ok, that sucks...and ralley in my many years doing what i use to i was forced to do many things that one a every day bases i wouldnt never do. my job put me in harms way on many days and as many of u already know i have been shot 2 times myself and it wasnt from a drive by in philly. but to be as real as i could ever be, everything i did was in the name of this country, our way of living, and for each and every one of u to be able to enjoy things like being on here when u want and to enjoy the many things we all do.

Haha I was talking about Philly, not you.

But yeah, how are you online right now? Is it because of your friends where you're staying at?

oh, sorry i thought you were talking to me. lol

my friends have wireless internet.

I know how it is Philly, thats why I didnt come out and asked like a dumbass "DUDE DID YOU SHOOT ANYBODY THEN? CUASE YA KNOW YOU'RE ON A BOAT WITH SHOOT TO KILL ORDERS, LOLOLOLO!LL!O!L!"

i feel really bad for everyone stranded there, that city is lost. damn and i was gonna go to mardi gras next year.... i really hope they all are gonna be okay. they say this hasnt happened to them in liek 60 years! :eek7: so now what?

have you guys saw or heard where the military helicopter was trying to land to help evacuate people and were met by an armed mob who tried to shoot it down....thats freaking crazy! these people need to come together and try to help this situation along, i know these people are having a horrible time and with people like that making it that much worse i can only imagine......thats just crazy...i dont know what to say

^Wha.. you serious? Thats insane dude, trying to help someone out and stuff then get shot at.

^Wha.. you serious? Thats insane dude, trying to help someone out and stuff then get shot at.

yeah dude....thats fucking crazy...i couldnt believe it at first....very sad...its almost like a third world country down there now....

Wonder wtf they're thinking? Thats just bad shooting at the person who is trying to help you out and is your fellow countrymen.

there are gangs w/ automatic weapons trying to take not only the military choppers but the rescue choppers too.

Damn man, and I thought the looting was bad. This is just plain gay.

You know, its the idiots of the world that ruin it for the good people in need. I honestly think, that anyone that can come up with a good reason to try and kill someone who is already risking there life to save yours. Should be hit with a tranc dart and be forced to watch while they take them apart piece by piece. I have no feelings , poor or not for the looters and shooters out there. The hurricane should have wiped those people out IMO. Sorry if that seems harsh to some of you but honestly how I feel.

:iagree: With you there John. They should honestly be shot because its just plain wrong.

well what if you have no food? and theres no shops opened? what to do when 2/3 of the city is under water? eat your self or loot some food?

with the excption of the ppl stealing food to survive the rest of the looters (the ones stealling tvs and other shit) can be shot.

I was in New Orleans about 18 months ago and while it had alot of history and parts where amazing. The poor sections surrounding the strip was very depressing. There were prostitutes and striped cars and drug dealers all over the place. I was watching CNN and saw some teenagers with bags filled with stolen merchandise, the reporter was asking them while they were stealing and they replied. "The police stole our shoes, so we decided we need to steal some stuff too. They said we weren't allowed to carry guns. You see any guns on us. We are just trying to have stuff too". What do you think the odds are the police tried to steal there shoes?. I really am on my way to losing all faith in man kind. They don't relize that while it was a horrible disaster, they are just making it more difficult and rather working together to make things better for everyone, they are just worried about themselves. Its sad not as sad as the good people out there that lost there homes and loved ones and now have people stealing there only possesions left from this tragedy but sad none the less.

their shoes? wdf do the police want with their shoes? lol, he should be shot.

yea, last night on cnn i thought some woman was gonna break down right then and there her and her husband was incontact right up untill the storm hit but no word from him yet, and he was in a mobile home aways awy from where she was at...

I completely understand them stealing food and water. If they have none and thats the only way to survive cause apparently there was a long delay before supplys got to them. Thats fine with me , I understand. I am not saying I hate these people and want them to die or suffer. I am saying the one's who are stealing out of greed. They should be killed IMO. They are making people who have lost enough already even worse off. Its just not right. You still think I am a dick huh Viper?. I'm sorry but that type of question to ask me like I have no heart for the pain and lose that everyone down there has gone threw is heart breaking but some people IMO are just a waste of life while others who have never thought about themselves once where just slaughtered by this storm. Its not fair and I don't understand it all.

it wasnt that clear untill your second post, i thought you ment everyone, but yes, im with you on that one, if they are stealing stuff like that then yes they should be killed, and the ones going trough the rubble looking for stuff to take should be worse off then shot... like have their skin peeled off with a dull potato peeler

btw, bad shit happens to good ppl for no reason, its been like that since the begining of time, but you might think that after all the shit this country has gone through everyone would be just a lil be more caring (i guess thats a good word) towards other ppl and their stuff, i mean come on, if you sink as low to go sifting throught someone else blown down house to steall what ever they have left, those ppl arent even scum, they are the shit under scum...
