Sames goes for areas getting the eastern eyewall (like Hammond), the flash flooding will ultimately turn into significant river flooding for some areas. The sudden backbuilding of that band is quite something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a similar chain of events happening here? no they failed in the city proper but it did take a good, long time for the word to get out. It was basically like this until they managed to get a chopper up and then the world could see that the levees had failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intensewind002 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 New advisory has storm down to Cat 1: 95 mph, 960 mb, headed nnw at 9 mph.

Is a similar chain of events happening here? I remember being on this very board (it actually might've still been Eastern at that point) and there started being reports of levee failures in some of the more susceptible wards. This was a pre-Twitter world, but I remember starting to see reports of this on the news late that night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a position update, not a full advisory where wind speeds are specified in knots, so no reason it couldn't be done, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the type of report that can indicate a possible mass casualty event--I hope that doesn't occur. And, let's be clear, being trapped in your attic and drowning is not a peaceful way to go. It's one of the most traumatic and painful ways a person can die. When you actually think about what some people are going through *right now* as you read this.. it's tragic. And that situation is occurring in several areas. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
