New Orleans got hit very bad, but Golfport and Biloxi, Mississippi got it even worse.

Thankfully for New Orleans the storm made a quick shift more towards the East that indeed saved the city. The damage from Katrina is still abolsutely terrible, however if it was a direct hit on the city I don't think we would see anything more catastrophic than that from a hurricane.

But yeah....Gulfport seems to be ground zero after this storm. Supposedly the governor of the State is expecting quite a few casulties in those areas. :frown:

Can't say I wouldn't want to be there, though.

I forgot.... I hope forum member Mohammed (NoSubstitue959) left Baton Rouge and is ok. Baton Rouge is only about 60 miles west of NO.

He lives over there??? I didn't know that! Hope he's alright

You get your ass back here Moho!! And in one piece! :frown:

I saw this on the tv at the airport today and those images were scary. They mentioned something about a place named Mobile being destroyed

The city of Mobile, Alabama is basically under water now. There are also reports of lifeless bodies floating around in New Orleans....that is why you need to heed the warnings unless you are a professional.

seems pretty scary stuff...

I saw a documentary on the french TV some months ago, that was speculating on how the climate changes could affect our lives.

Hurricanes, huge floods, followed by epidemias,...

It was supposed to happen in 2050 I think,... it seems we don't have to look that far.

Or it could be a natural cycle, and we have absolutely nothing to do with it

The so called experts are the same ones that were swearing we'd have a new Ice Age just 10 years ago.

Yeah, of course. I'm not a scientist myself, and I can only rely on what people tell me. It's hard to know is an alarming cunt in need of attention, and who is serious...

Still, I'm changing my habits a bit. You know, going by foot to the shop, switching off the lights, use less water,... it won't change the world, but it's my own very small contribution.
I was very shocked this summer when I saw the glaciers (?) in the Swiss Alps. Every year they are getting smaller and smaller,...

No, they aren't really the same experts. And a lot of these predictions about weather are based on facts and theories.....some of which are all we have to go on in making predictions about mother nature. It's impossible to be right every single time.
