Supposedly during Hurricane Camille in 69 hundreds of people died from...not just the winds, not just the flooding, not the storm surge, but the infiltration of poisonous snakes that were fleeing from the salt water to safer land. The flooded streets were also flooded with snakes. :eek:

Andy, no one cares. Go beat off to it.
Yeah, see, I was thinking you'd say that.

Well I certainly don't give a flying fvck what jaecole or any of his butt buddies did this weekend, or if you're back on coke or not. So how about you live and let live? Are you even capable of that or just trying to be a conceited little bicth again?

come on now, no need to be homophobic.

And you are talking to yourself. Its not the subject matter, just the fact that you are, talking to yourself.

New Orleans? :scared: Aren't they as low as the Low Countries??

How deep? I myself live 20 yards beneath sea level. I think Amsterdam is 8 or something...

Well as long as it's river water they should be alright. A salt water flood and there's no technology available to us right now that could save the city. They'd have to rebuild.

But in Louisiana, the problem is less about the water salinity and more about the number of EPA Superfund sites in the region. A little water influx, and you could walk from what was New Orleans to Baton Rouge on a flaming patch of creosote and coal tar. :yuck:

Call it a paved version of what's known as "Cancer Alley" here in the States. They just don't make enough typhoid shots to go around.

I would imagine it would gain some real strength from the relatively warm Mexican Gulf as opposed to the slightly colder Atlantic Ocean?

Also, are you familiar with Erik Larson's book "The meteorologist and the storm"? It tells the story of a hurricane racing towards Galveston on 8 september 1900 - it would destroy Galveston, allowing Houston to become Texas' most important city. Modern meteorologists found this particular hurricane was exceptional because it didn't lose strength while making landfall and the Mexican Gulf fuelled it immensely.

It's a really good read, I recommend it :thumb:

I knew about that, but didn't read the book. I really like Larson's writing style... even if he takes some fictional liberties to improve upon and mend together his fact-based storytelling.

Here on the Pac Coast we also don't have hurricanes (and not just because they'd be called "typhoons" instead ;) ) because the water is so damn cold... preventing the heat pump mechanisms of tropical storms from forming into something that nasty.

Andy, did you see "Oil Storm"? Too similar to reality! A Cat 5 cane hits New Orleans wiping out the oil production in the Gulf, US turns to Mid East to step up production and terrorists start hitting Saudi supplies. US turns to Russia, but Russia cuts deal with China and US economy collapses as gasoline hits $9.00 per gallon.
Does that look like talking to myself, or are you just not with it today? No, really?

**Insert your favorite word here**.

in fairness andy wins the arguement but looses cool points for wasting 20 minutes gathering all the posts directed to him on that subject matter to prove Blandy who is obviously out for a bit of fun wrong.

That took all of five minutes quoting only a few of the posts directed to me.
I played it up now you are playing it down. It was more then 5 minutes you werent posting.

But anyway, to spend time gathering the posts to prove her wrong is a bit pointless. You know full well blandie doesnt actually give a flying **** about that.

A bit of fun? More like a bit of fun at everyone elses' expense.
In response to the new second part, yes. But thats fun all the same anyway.
