Title: HURRICANE ISAAC discussion. Updated. Post by: Chechem on August 26, 2012, 07:42:46 AM Let's have a little fun with this and open a thread dedicated to hurricane discussions. Hopefully this thing will simply suck up some dry air and die, but it looks like the Gulf coast is the target. Enjoy the poll, but make preparations as necessary. :-*

:lol: no 2 , you know better than that but all day yesterday they did have the track drawn right to OB the reason I picked OB is because it about half way coast wise between me and you and with my LUCK I figured if I picked OB that it would be the last place it would hit or come anywhere near ...

Post by: 2Stater on August 26, 2012, 09:33:01 PM Isaac is still very disorganized and TWC admittedly really doesn't know where it's going. 24 hours ago, most of the models had it landing in Florida.

Everyone at the National Hurricane Center expected to have a hurricane by now, but the storm remains a large blob instead. It looks like the eye hasn't formed yet, but it's close. The answer to "where will it hit?" seems to have narrowed to 'New Orleans' or 'Ham Sammich' (Gulfport?). Odd that the models are still not in agreement. :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: Title: Re: Game-week HURRICANE poll. Where will it hit?

Quote Isaac is still a tropical storm at this time, but is on the verge to intensifying into a Category 1 hurricane sometime later this morning. Satellite imagery shows that Isaac has been fighting some drier air that has wrapped up into the circulation causing the showers and thunderstorms not to form an eye wall...

Updated. Post by: XBAMA on August 28, 2012, 08:05:07 PM as some of you know I have some very good friends that are fishing guides
in Venice , La. . who are also friends with Billy N. these poor folks can't catch a break with these levee systems :pray: hoping for the best for our coonazz friends ... Quote Folks, Plaquemines Parish (Mouth of the Mississippi River) update - Boothville, Buras, Venice Area Billy Nungesser (Plaquemines Parish President)was just on local radio in Baton Rouge indicating the storm surge has water splashing over the top of the Mississippi River Levee north of Boothville causing flooding, and indicated the water level is less than 2ft from a breach. Indicated substantial wind damage along HWY 23 (parallels River for the most part) in South Plaquemines. Power Lines down and roof damage to structures, including HIS HOUSE!! This is major news because there is the new $BLN levee just completed to the west of the river protecting the western side of these communities, using the Mississippi River and their levee system as protection from the east. If there is a breach it is going to be bad. I do not want to cause panic, but there is a massive amount of water moving up river right now which have the Corps of Engineers and NOAA raising eyebrows. The Southeast to northwest track, slow movement, and large size of this storm is pushing a TON of water upriver. We don't have many that take this track, but this surge is going to be the problem - And by the way, made a point to say this storm was not a moderate CAT1. Nungesser is not calling the NHC a group of liars, but he is saying there is NO WAY this storm is packing only 80mph right now - EDIT FOR ADDL INFO - Just spoke to a fishing guide that chose to ride it out. He is saying this is "Katrina Level Surge" in the Venice area. I'm thinking none of the locals thought the surge would be this bad. Title: Re: HURRICANE ISAAC discussion. Updated. Post by: Chechem on August 28, 2012, 08:10:29 PM I just talked with a buddy near Dauphin Island. Apparently a sailboat that was anchored north of the island broke loose and its mast hit the big power lines alongside the DI bridge. The whole island is without power. :(
He said otherwise, Grand Bay and the coastal towns are fine, have had only moderate winds, no tornadoes, and everything is fine. He said the pecan crop was lost (just about all of the semi-mature pecans blew off). No trees down. Title: Re: HURRICANE ISAAC discussion. Updated.

This is the area flooded (Braithwaite, LA) to the left. Between the flooded and unflooded areas is a new levee, which was controversial. It was just completed. Graffiti on the flood gate reads: "Gate of Shame", because the residents where the women were trapped knew it would cause flooding. The area did not flood during Hurricane Katrina. This is big news in Louisiana, and lives may have been lost as a result. Sad. Title: Re: HURRICANE ISAAC discussion. Updated.

Evacuating seems to be the safe play unless you are convinced you will be robbed if your house is left empty. Some areas are notoriously high and dry during these events-- even different stretches of the same street (Canal for instance).
