dan11295 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Very fortunate it appears the eye wall will miss the city proper. If that is one saving grace with this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes the people who doubted it could swim all the way down from Rhode Island in 7 days look even worse. Made it with 18 hrs to spare.

New Orleans looks to make out good with just outer bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentrich Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hurricane Katrina cost of damage was $170 billion. Do you think IDA will be much higher than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think IDA will be much higher than that? even adjusted for inflation that seems very unlikely although i'm sure the infrastructure at Port Fourchon is quite expensive. one wonders how the area's infrastructure has been hardened since Katrina. look, Katrina destroyed New Orleans, a major American city, and Ida simply isn't taking that kind of path. we'll see though.

Shot in the dark number would be similar to Laura last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agreed the system will stand up to this, especially missing eye wall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no Katrina, but this is worse than Laura in terms of population affected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably won’t but you’re victory lapping already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Ok I’ll keep quiet and see what happens, I thought that’s what the banter thread was here for though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Katrina was a semi-man made disaster. This will actually be worse for a lot of areas in SE LA than Katrina was, meteorological speaking. The surge in NOLA will actually probably end up similar. The thing that's different is the levees. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a complex system. Yes it has been revamped but why anyone would 100% trust any piece of infrastructure in America of all places is just beyond me. Also it’s not just about levees. What if a chemical plant blows 2 hours from now? There’s lots of catastrophes that can still happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I think the oil rig that is loose was over a billion dollars to build itself. Dont think its going to reach Katrina's numbers. But it is still going to be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Houma alone has 33k pop. compared to Lake Charles 77k. Difference is there isn't much in that area other than Lake Charles. Where Laura's eastern eye wall went was sparsely populated. Anywhere between Houma and Laplace is going to take a beating here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
