So the Island is under water???

Thanks, but we've taken more than our share this year!! Time for someone else to step in and take a hit! (Sorry)

Wow, nice. I look forward to my great city of new orleans doing you that favor. Or not.

Just found a detailed link about contraflow and New Orleans:

I'm not sure when that particular info was released or how current it is.

More contraflow in Louisiana

Hey Florida, we need to dust off those machines again !!!!

John Gumm just said the FSU S.E. has shifted to Biloxi. He says he thinks the track should be shifted further West of the models. He is a bit nervous.

We are all below sea level but Levee's protect us from Flood Waters. Outside the flood protection levee's all it takes is 1-2 foot above normal tides to flood that area.

TS Zach, was Gumm's comment about the FSU on air or in print, and if in print do you have a link to it???

thanks

Just got off of the phone with a source that is very close to the President of Plaquemines Parish in SE Louisiana. NO EVACUATIONS (BE IT MANDATORY OR VOLUNTARY) ARE SET AT THIS TIME. There is going to be a meeting at 11:00am Monday morning. Nothing will be done until Ivan enters the GOM. Thanks, just wanted to pass that on.

I believe it is on WWL TV's discussion board.

You'll have to register to see it.

Where are you getting thes reports? Ivan is not even made it to the Gulf yet. I agree that the N.O. area needs as much time as possible to evacuate, but this may be jumping the gun a bit.

Let's say that Ivan's NW turn doesn't happen tonight and landfall shifts to New Orleans. It would hit Wednesday afternoon. That means evacuations would have to be COMPLETE by Tuesday, which means getting out as early as tomorrow morning. Wait until 24hrs before landfall (Tuesday) and you'll be in a perpetual parking lot, just waiting to be swept out to sea. No, it's not too early to consider possibly evacuating there. If Ivan's course hasn't changed by morning (and it may be changing now), then Louisiana may be in trouble quite soon.

I believe that the quote about the FSU SE was made a few days ago, not today. Far as I know, only the folks at FSU and the NHC have access to that model.

Just wanted to say that again, because a lot of people were posting at the time that i did it.

[anjou]

Hmm.. I know evacuations are difficult.. but better safe than sorry.

[PTrackerLA]

Just talked to a friend in New Orleans and the checkout lady at wal mart was talking about Ivan possibly hitting new orleans. At least people are becoming aware of the danger.

Rooster-This is not a candidate campaign, it is against one of the proposed constitutional amendments. We have supporters from both camps.

John Gumm claims to have a contact who has access to that model. I trust him.
But to clarify what I said earlier about lower Plaquemines Parish. The person I taked to didn't say that a decision has been made. Yes, they are meeting tomorrow. But he was of the opinion that volountary evacuation probably would be reccomended. It was just his opinion. Sorry if I wasn't clear before.

That's cool. Please don't take my post as an attack on you, i would never do that. I just wanted to make sure for myself. We have a radio tower down that way that I would have to get to if an evacuation happens.

Here's the thread with the Biloxi reference made by Mr Gumm:

I heard that Florida isn't going to vote on machines or punchcards this time.

Instead, they'll vote on twisted pieces of 2x4.
