A-L-E-K Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 nola seemed p confident in the levee situation when it looked like a miss just west with a cat 3, how much wiggle room does an operational levee system offer for a direct hit cat 4+? and idk about you all but i expect these big federal levee projects were rife with grift and shoddy workmanship because it's the american way, would personally not trust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know for sure but we do typically only build back things to prevent what happened (CAT 3) and not what could happen (this thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake effect king made one post and was spot on. hopefully though this doesn’t turn out as bad as it looks. All your takes have been spot on though.

I don't generally make predictions on things that I am very uneducated on, and also generally trust the mets as well. Almost every Met on here was saying this exact thing was likely to happen, yet a couple people continually poo pooed this, with Eskimo Joe saying evacuations were irresponsible. We've gotten relatively lucky for years. We have not had a "big one" that went over a major population center, and have mostly avoided big hits directly on Houston, NOLA, and the atlantic Florida coast and even the florida gulf coast. This however is looking like the one we have feared for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that yeah, 95% of the time the evacuations aren't needed but that other 5% you risk a disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I have heard some say its too late to get out. Call me crazy but if I were on that south side, roads looking clear, I would get the **** out. Seems dangerous to tell people to shelter versus tornado winds that are 7 hours away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be absolutely embarrassed, as a pro forecaster, that you said on Friday it was too early to evacuate. That is honestly unacceptable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article I read suggested they were built for a 1 in 100 year storm in 2057. So they were assuming some sea level rise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Louisiana is rather bad chase turf there is nowhere close to the projected landfall point which is safe enough. Way too vulnerable to surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
