Just amazed how they justify spending 65k on a trailer when you can put a family in a hotel room for 3k a month or less. Politically connected people own the companies that provide these trailers. It’s just classic American grift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotair Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 WRF and HMON have both returned nearly identical onshore trajectories that put landfall west of NO. Does anyone know if the longitude they were initialized under is still valid or has Ida wobbled further East since those runs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my other posts. Like I said, she was damned whether she made the decision to evacuate or not. And yes, her team bears some responsibility as well. Sometimes thers is no great solution. Either way, she is the face of the city, and as such, will take the blunt of the blame game no matter the outcome. Quick moving storms that strengthen quickly are always going to be a problem, even if model consensus is aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say these were the Katrina trailers. Katrina started the whole FEMA trailer business. They just continue to buy trailers and then dispose of them when they are not needed. I was suggesting that they should have kept those trailers instead of selling them as surplus cause I’m sure they will be needed again after next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dseagull Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Again, whether she deserves the blame or not is a moot point. She will recieve it regardless, as she is the face of the city. The people she represents don't care who makes the decisions. They expect solutions to problems from their mayor. It's how politics work. Not trying to argue, was offering my opinion.

My wish: Ida gets her eye and RIs into a Cat 5, reaches near the LA coast to justify evacuation but not that bad and shifts east staying offshore bringing fun and excitement to the Florida Gulf coast (not too bad, but thrilling even for Tampa Bay), then moving west to the Texas coast giving everybody a taste there maintaining a perfect eye, then going east through the channel between Cuba and Florida allowing the Keys and Miami to have some fun, up the eastern coast brushing Cape Hatteras intensely (they are used to it, can handle it, and love it) then drifting up the east coast past VA and sitting for a day or so off NJ becoming a Cat 5 sub-tropical Hurricane and slamming NJ so nobody will ever mention Sandy again. A perfect eye the entire week long adventure. Right? Finally!! Some actual authentic banter about Ida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Ida's eye might be wrapping. Even covert super-secret budgets run out of money at some point. Can't kill every storm. So many storms, so many cities. New Orleans? OK, let this one go this time. Hope they ain't broke when the Cat 5 heads to Tampa Bay!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should learn to disagree with the message without attacking the messenger. WTH is with the misogyny on here? This is the second time today that wxtrix(with a female avatar)has been referred to as a guy("dude' and "buddy")when nearly nobody else has been referred to with any term like this. The toxic part here ain't her. You have 181 posts - either you have not been here long or don't post much(like me, been here 15 years)so lighten up. *on topic banter: this storm is going to hit near where I thought, Port Fourchon, but not a as strong/won't make it to cat 5). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I have always found it difficult to "root" for hurricanes unless its a fish storm but in the end it does not matter what I think/want to happen the storm does what is does anyways. This is a reason why I like rooting a lot more for snowstorms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless they are a 10 day out noreasters showing 40 inches for NYC . Then it is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a reason why I like rooting a lot more for snowstorms. Seriously we ALL want to see the biggest baddest storms ever. It is a sickness that makes us weather people. But most of us are always compassionate and empathetic to victims, even in snowstorms. So that is honest. Does that make us bad people? No but we balance doom and survival as best we can. Yet the thrill of Nature and what it does is like a drug that we are addicted to. We can deny, but we know who we are no matter how we spin the excitement we feel when waiting for that perfect eye. Ida is not there yet, but getting there. Almost, but not yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Go to the real Ida forum and want to comment. But the banter is better for me. Hanging out at the "Ida Bar and Grill" is lose and fun. Although I was wondering if we need an Ida Banter-Banter thread as well. LOL Another mission turned back during a peak time. UGH! Again! No matter what tomorrow morning is when it's time for the really serious stuff. Even on the real thread it is still an educated stream of consciousness of opinions and ideas. Ida is real, for sure. Still not a Yucatan looking storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
