I wonder how many people are drinking Hurricanes right now at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans.0

Downtown new orleans is deserted or boarded up0 -
We wanted to have a party. And the day off. But the Bay Area didn't get much of anything. So sad.
Then again, if it's less than a CAT 3 it's not really worth getting excited about. Tropical Storm for us is basically any normal day in the summer with some extra wind.0 -

Boo that's no fun. We'll have a drink together0 -
Nope, too busy getting prepped for it. I'm in Mobile. :drinker:0

Same here, until this happens:

Where are you located? I'm in Pasco (don't laugh).
Isaac didn't do much around here.. But Debby sure did. Tons of sinkholes north of me and lots of flooding south of me. Nothing that lasted more than a few days and I only had to make one detour to work.. But a lot of places are screwed if something actually hits hard.0 -

Good to know. The French Quarter was not damaged much in Katrina, wonder what happens this time around.0 -

Cat 1-2's aren't anything to laugh at. Hurricane Irene last year made landfall in the Carolinas as a Cat 1, and flooded the entire East Coast all the way up to Canada and cost almost $25 billion in damage. Yes, there's not as much wind, but when 10" of rain falls in a mountainous region (the Berkshires, Vermont, etc) it'll trigger mudslides that will wipe out roads, buildings, and towns that are in it's path...
Isaac isn't going to be strong, but it is forecast to dump about 20" of rain. In New Orleans, that could be a nightmare. Especially when a good 30 minute downpour flooded many streets with water up to my knees cause the pumps can't keep up...0 -

Yep....my DD left the city a few hours ago and last I time I talked to her she was crawling to Baton Rouge. I hope she got there so she could get off the interstate.0 -

FQ should be fine. Bienville (I think that's who decided to build there? I need to ask my mom who's a LA history buff) picked a good place, free from flooding.
I'll be here on the northshore, drinking my crappy beer.0 -
Pffft hurricane. That's not a hurricane.0

Can't believe you people are joking about a hurricane - my best friend is right in the middle of it and no one has heard from her - yeah lets have a party!!0

That's the one reason I don't really want to move to the East coast. As much as I absolutely love it.. I feel that we don't get hit as bad in my area in comparison. But the Gulf of Mexico sucks.0 -

Yay crappy beer! I'll probably be off Wednesday so I'll get to drink my crappy beer tomorrow night.
I'm also amending my previous statement, that are a few insane bars open on Bourbon Street. They are crazy.0 -
