There's a storm coming into the Gulf. Mets are saying could reach Cat 4. We could begin feeling effects as early as Sunday.
I know we get involved here with politics but just want to say Heads up! Tomorrow is not too soon to begin clearing stuff from yards, buying water, and other supplies.
If Walmart and grocery stores are low on supplies, check out Big Lots, Dollar Stores, etc.

I wonder if New Orleans is going to get fucked again... and know that they now have vax passports if they'll start setting up "unvaccinated camps" for people who lose homes. Or fuck them over in some way.
If the storm comes in to the west of NOLA, could be catastrophic. Katrina mess was because of Corps of Engineers levee failure. Pumps in NOLA have still not been repaired. Winds from the west will have water overtopping not just Lake Ponchartrain levees but possibly the MS River as well. We kept saying that the money spent to take down statues should have gone to pump repairs but oh well. Thanks goodness we live an hour outside of the city because it could become another tragedy.
I'm fairly certain the levee was purposely blown.
Not sure - many poor areas were affected but then so were some of the wealthiest areas of the city. I do know that the corps should have had the supporting structure several feet deeper.
The fact the pumps haven't been repaired and updated shows they don't give a shit. I hate new orleans, hate it with a passion. It's a rotten hole in the south, because it was ruined by democrats. I hope you don't live there. If you do, please evacuate. Storms seem to like going though "rapid intensification" lately throwing us all off guard.
