Guest Beaver Report post Posted August 25, 2005 Doesn't look too bad. I lived in Melbourne Beach (just south of Cocoa) for 12 years and have been through quite a few. As long as you're not in a trailer it's actually kind of exciting. Power outages can get old fast though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deepsky Report post Posted August 25, 2005 See you at the beach!! Haha! There's a few times surf buddies dragged me out to Playlenda Beach to surf during the Hurricain. I never could get past all the white water, I don't know how they did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beaver Report post Posted August 29, 2005 Haha, I was just working on a promo for the weather channel called "It could happen tomorrow." One of the lines in the promo was: "What if a category 5 hurricane slammed into New Orleans?" How much you wanna bet that line gets cut? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest govinda Report post Posted August 29, 2005 What is that I saw, like 100,000 people holed up in the Superdome? With no air conditioning and only the food you brought in your own Coleman, all while the water slowly rises inside the building to make the playing field a six foot deep lake? There are 144 hopefully functional bathrooms. That's like 700 people per bathroom if everyone needs just one visit (good luck with that), and god let that be 144 bathrooms with multiple toilets, not just 144 toilets total. I've never been happier with our little 30-second-long earthquakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest parallax Report post Posted August 29, 2005 I think this thread won't be any fun 10 hours from now. (and that will certainly keep me from making bad "katrina and te waves" jokes) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SermonOfMockery Report post Posted August 29, 2005 i don't think this is funny at all and i'm really upset and scared for all the people in the area (thank god i don't have anyone down there). i hope it turns out better than it's looking right now.

Guest milksac Report post Posted August 29, 2005 Our prayers go out to Amydot, mograph member located in lower Alabama. We hope Amy evacuated or at least she's in a safe place right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest F to the Soong Report post Posted August 29, 2005 this took a turn for the worse... good luck to everybody and all the familes that are stuck in new orleans and surounding areas, never expected this, never really expected it to hit miami as hard as it did.

Guest clintvideo Report post Posted August 30, 2005 Hurricanes are actually quite nice for North Dakota (and the upper Midwest in general). They push warm air northward, typically with lots of moisture for precipitation. Helps keep that nasty metric Canadian air where it belongs, eh.

Guest milksac Report post Posted August 30, 2005 Unbelieveable!!! Over 50 people are dead and the numbers will continue to rise. And you're happy to have a few days of warm rainy weather? Clintvideo - the cold you're feeling is coming from within. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest govinda Report post Posted August 30, 2005 This song goes through my mind every time I turn on the news (pre-Zep original by Kansas Joe McCoy--just saw it on digby.blogspot.com and found I'm not the only one who can't get it out of my head): If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break And all these people have no place to stay Now look here mama what am I to do I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to I works on the levee mama both night and day I ain't got nobody, keep the water away Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose I works on the levee, mama both night and day I works so hard, to keep the water away I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me I'm goin' back to my used to be I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sao_Bento Report post Posted August 30, 2005 That's funny because at this very moment, supposedly, someone here is trying to clear that song for use on a "pod" about NOLA's levees. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest govinda Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Since I already ripped off half the post at Digby, here's the rest, about a woman who talks to a New Orleans fortune-teller Sunday. "I called Mama Marisol, got her on her cell phone. She had her crystal ball in the front seat, and she was 'leavin-leavin, cher.' Heading up Basin Street past St. Louis 1, she saw all the skeletons sitting on top of their tombs, rolling their bones and readin' em, shakin' their heads at her. This won't end well."
