Yea, they don't know crap until it hits the gulf. They (meteorologist) readily admit that.
The guys I knew who majored in meteorology (we called it either pre-Business or pre-Psychology) said meteorology should be called Theoretical Fluid Dynamics...because the math is impossible and nobody knows what is going to happen, regardless.

The problem is people still treat their forecast as the gospel. A couple years ago there was a poll on NOAA's site. It asked if people wanted them to remove the line in the center of the cone since we should be looking a the whole cone. The no's won in a landslide..lol.

It's raining like fuck here (look we get crazy weather too )

The gutter/roof pipe above my door has burst, and so it's like there's a waterfall right outside my back door, good thing it's one of those new secure watertight doors

you would think people would figure out don't build a freakin city below sea level, and then after katrina why would you go back?

Who's the 10% left? Nat. Guard troops and other Gov./Emergency workers?

There could be some patients in hospitals which are far too sick to move. But you'd think they would have been first priority to evacuate safely.

Good to hear. Do you know who is left? Hope it's not the too stubborn to move or potential looters.

Mostly police. (So people don't stay behind to loot before the storm)

Some dumb shit tourist says "I was upset they wouldn't let me stay, I wanted to experience whats its like"
God they should have just left him behind and granted his wish.

It's not gonna directly hit N'Orleans though, I thought it was. It's predicted route is quite far away from New Orleans

same thing happened in katrina. it doesnt matter where it lands, all that matters to NO is storm surge.

Well, that was close. All good, relatively speaking.

But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the levees had not been breached and city pumps were able to keep up with the flooding. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal warned residents it was too early to sound the all-clear because floodwaters could take hours to recede.

"Just because the storm is moving over your area, do not think that the tidal surge impacts are yet over," he said.

A man who would only give his name as Chris, drinks a beer outside a bar
on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter as Hurricane Gustav approaches the
Louisiana area, Monday, Sept. 1, 2008, in New Orleans.
