Probably start busing people to Texas like happened during Katrina.
Should fly plane loads of them to California and Portland, Oregon from Naval Air Station, New Orleans.Last edited: Aug 28, 2021

According to the media the next hurricane is always going to be the worst one ever......
Gotta sell those clicks...Trucker61016, Aamcotrans, bzinger and 5 others Thank this. -
Stats are nothing compared to Katrina, but they're saying the slight direction difference "could" hit New Orleans with more water. Seems to be much ado about nothing.
But hey, whatever takes Afghanistan out of the spotlight.Trucker61016, Aamcotrans, Dave_in_AZ and 7 others Thank this. -
Looks ominous.

Portland, Oregon Mayor Wheeler told citizens to prepare in case Hurricane Ida changes direction and goes through the Panama Canal and then up the coast and hits Portland.LameMule, Aamcotrans, Hammer166 and 6 others Thank this. -
Weather nerd here. Primary concerns are as follows:
1: Ida will track over the hottest/most energetic part of the ocean just before landfall. That (heat) will pump energy into the storm.
2: With a slight E zag, it now looks like an eyewall (where the most destructive winds are) will hit New Orleans. Big problems for the power grid. Big.
3: Levees have been upgraded; but (referencing above power issues) the pumps are the failure point, and one that is a continuing issue to this day.
Im not predicting anything, but the pieces are there to legitimize some of the reporting.MTN Boomer, bzinger, God prefers Diesels and 7 others Thank this. -
Bunch of people in Austin panicked several years ago. They heard hurricane was gonna impact Austin, at most all we’d get is a little rain and wind , and bought up all tge tp, Bread and milk in town. True story.
