the fact that it's also technically below sea level doesn't really have a good effect either.....i really feel bad for the people living there....
i didn't know it was a category 5.....  hock:

mandatory evacuation, that's pretty serious stuff....
kinda crazy to think this hurricane was just a minor tropical storm at first, then a cat. 3, then overnight a cat. 5! apparently its the 4th lowest pressure ever recorded in the US hock:

phew... better them than me... i just got back from jacksonville, where this hell of a storm was supposed to hit in the initial estimates. new orleans is screwed if this hits hard. not only will it flood like something bad, but a lot of the historical building will be ripped apart. from what i've heard they will not rebuild if this does take the city out. :o

they were also talking about heavy concern for the Super Dome in NO, most of the people are staying there in refuge and they say it's never been predicted to withstand category 5 hurricane winds......
i really hope the surge and winds will be less than predicted, kinda scary... hock:

Sounds like it's time for a Hurricane Party as any proper NO'er would do.
No, but really, hopefully this won't hit too hard. It's always better to do something like evacuate now and be overly cautious than be there if it becomes the worst of predictions. A dead French Quarter wouldn't kill the Mardi Gras spirit, anyways... it's not about the buildings 
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Well as much as i'd like for a nice tropical storm to wash all the piss, shit and vomit out of the streets of that shithole, a big hurricane is going to put a serious hurting on those old buildings.

The hurricane-40oz party kicked ass though! Watching the storm all morning....it's supposed to be a tropical storm when it passes through Kentucky..... hock:
