There was an Aussie cyclone where the WMO verified like 250mph gusts…total freak show. Gustav had a big one too. I wonder what the elevation of these winds were…that could make apples to apples comparisons hard. On a ship it could be dozens of meters ASL.

Even if some of them are organized the popularization of them is going to encourage their version of Midwestern storm chaser to go try rescuing someone… Whatever. As far as I can see, they're trying to do good for their community. Virtue signaling achieves nothing, in the real world. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers who put themselves at risk to save others is common outside of big cities. Depending on only Govt in a disaster...... Laplace wind shift will force Lake P back out but may be bad news for N Shore communities. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is water intrusion from an unknown source. I dont want this to be a Katrina scenario. But damn if it isnt eerily similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaPo Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I was a teenager during Katrina, did the levees initially fail in outlying areas before they failed in New Orleans? Is a similar chain of events happening here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the live shot is showing some pretty bad conditions. Intense feeder bands have been training over that general area for hours, and will probably continue doing so for a while. Sames goes for areas getting the eastern eyewall (like Hammond), the flash flooding will ultimately turn into significant river flooding for some areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
