Hurricane KATRINA from Satellite

hahahaahaha, oh my god, evacuation expensive!? COST DOESNT F***ING MATTER IF YOUR LIFE IS ON THE LINE!!!!!!!!!! AND IT WAS ON THE LINE BECAUSE the retarded mayor made the call too late, and don't even get me started on the governor! u know every year New Orleans sinks lower!

:O it's terrible...

No ZX2, Bush didn't cause Katrina. But he put a man in charge of FEMA based on his party loyalty, not based on his competance at disaster management. Michael Brown was a loyal Republican and lobbyist but he knew nothing about handling disasters. And that became apparent very soon after Katrina struck. Yes, everyone should have left before ths storm. But many had no reliable motor vehicle. Their decision to stay was not wise. But once they were stuck, they needed help and help was slow to come.

The End Nears, Hurricanes can die off if they make landfall. The friction between their winds and the land surface slows down their circulation. A hurricane needs constant access to warm ocean water. Also, high altitude winds can tear the upper part of the storm away. This is called wind shear. For a storm to grow and stay strong it needs to be over warm ocean water and have little or no wind shear. If that is not the case, the storm will die.

And that's exactly what the Army Corps Of Engineers was SUPPOSED to do but didn't. So your answer to this problem is for us to just abandon New Orleans? Because the Corps didn't do it's job? That sounds pretty "learning disabled" to me. These storms are quite fickle and everyone here has a story of evacuating for past storms that never amounted to anything. Evacuation is expensive. So, they took their chances and stayed and that turned out not to be a good idea.

See, The Netherlands know how to protect themselves and they hone the technology to fit their needs. New Orleans, pshh, pumps and levees for a Cat 2!?!?!?!? COME ON!!! Maintain them! Replace them! DO NOT JUST LEAVE THEM THE WAY THEY ARE!!!!! You have to be retarded to think a 200 mile wide Cat 5 hurricane wont destroy those floodwalls built for a cat 2-3!!!! And it sat there in the Gulf for a couple days!!! MORE THAN ENOUGH TOME TO EVACUATE!!!

Trainman, you're part of the "Blame The Victim" crowd. Did you realize that large sections of The Netherlands lie below sea level? And that country protects those areas with pumps, dikes and floodgates. They are quite competent at that and it works. And what wonderful place in the U.S. do you live in? No natural disasters ever occur there?

character or not its not worth it to protect a city built on swamplands and delta mud!

New Orleans has been here since the mid 1700s and it deserves to be protected. Also, only parts of the city are truly below sea level. Most lies right at a little above sea level. At any rate, it's an architectural gem, not composed of houses that were thrown up in a couple of days, out of vinyl & pressboard and connected to strip shopping centers by freeways. It's a REAL city made up of real houses with real window shutters in REAL neighborhoods that are walkable. It also has real character.

NEWSFLASH! THEY ARENT BELOW SEA LEVEL! they may flood but the water flow downstream to the Gulf. Those states are above sea level. New Orleans? BELOW SEA LEVEL. And yes i have

O_O

So I guess IOWA & MISSOURI shouldn't be there either? Have you ever even BEEN to New Orleans?

your a horible person to talk ill of dead kids and old people.

this is ridiculous! the city shouldnt even be there! Its BELOW SEA LEVEL! Its sad those people died, but that only happened because A.they were too stupid to leave B. they "had no way to evacuate", which is bull, and C. the mayor gave the call to evacuate 24 HOURS BEFORE A HURRICANE 200 MILES WIDE HIT THE CITY. And the same retarded people are "building it back up" in the same damn area that flooded!!They're the ones who are gonna blame others when the same area floods again!!

like i said your the stupid one! wow... what kind of person talks bad about the dead?
children and elderly people drowned!

Sad,scary COOL!

George Bush caused it with his hurricane machine. Right libs?

I'm pretty sure they could have left if they wanted. The could have got a ride with someone. THEY just figured if it got bad someone would come get THEM since THEY "paid their taxes."

u want something like that to happen again?

that hurricane is cool.. wish to see that again =)

need i remind you that the city wasn't evacuated until 24 HOURS BEFOREa KATRINA HIT by the retarded mayor!?!?!? And just so you know there were over a hundred buses sitting next to the superdome, not to mention the citys own buses, that people could have left on. But no, lets crowd inside the superdome and our homes and be flooded by a 30 ft storm surge in a city thats BELOW SEA LEVEL...yea they're REAL SMART

wow your the stupid one! since i live in the city of new orleans i know that must people dont have cars and use public transportation so if you didnt own a car YOU WERE STUCK OUT!!

seriously how to hurricanes like...how do i say...like....disappear....or like die off? please smaert dudes help thanks!
