ldub23 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Reminds me of the 1992 season and Andrew. It was a 1 storm season. Right now we have 2 other tropical systems and they are both in horrid conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the US had another devastating hurricane that year: Iniki. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Haven't heard anything from my friend in Metairie. I haven't been able to follow this much today but from what I can tell, although it's probably not going great there, the worst conditions are a bit west of there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport is west of there(at least 5 miles) and they have been getting gusts recently up to 90 mph so probably not quite as bad there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, if worst comes to worst, the marine life/and fauna will be stressed and need food sources too-think of the wildlife and the animals! Think of the shrimp!

turtlehurricane Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 This is just like Katrina. At first everyone thought New Orleans was spared, but then towns next to New Orleans began to flood, levees began to break everywhere, and then New Orleans itself flooded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking electrical transmission towers, not broadcast towers. I spent 2 weeks in a Holiday Inn in the French Quarter in 2000, I worked in New Iberia but was covering for an engineer going on vacation whose then died. I worked in an office in the Shell building. I was working for Halliburton then. My last trip to NOLA was pre-Katrina with my wife for a casino/drinking long weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianc33710 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I spent a lot of time & had a lot of fun with friends who loved on the west side of the New Orleans metro -- Destrehan, Norco & LaPlace etc. My buddy from there now lives closer to Jacksonville, FL but he says he still has family that didn't/couldn't evacuate. I pray they are all OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
