7 years to the day from when Katrina fucked up NO looks like Isaac is going to hit them pretty much dead on.

I think mother nature is sick of your hubris in building a below sea level city. Wonder how many people will ignore the evacuation warnings this time.
@ the graphic!
I guess it’s all because we support Israel… (I can’t wait for Blue Eyed Devil to read this)
yea…i have been tracking this…i leave for a cruise out of Tampa next Sunday…i should be all good
It is a common misconception… Katrina never hit New Orleans. They just got screwed from the aftermath of it. It hit Waveland and Bay St. Louis east of NO.
Maybe not a direct hit, but watch this:
I would definitely call that hitting New Orleans.
WOW^
Thats sick!
“Great,this is all I need before election time”.
Ya the defnitley got hit with their share but the serious damage was done east. A lot of the NO damage was due to the storm surge.
Building a city below sea level is right on par with building one next to a dormant volcano (like Mt. Vesuvius for instance). Should never have been built the first time or rebuilt after that. Maybe this time they will get the hint, friggin idiots.
Well should I cancel our trip to Mobile for labor day weekend? LoL
Not if it’s an airboat trip.
Was hoping it would take out the Republican convention in Tampa 
Last minute direction change anyone?
I have a few friends down that way, either way it’s not good. I think all eyes are going to be on the levee system that was rebuilt.
Yeah, the new system is supposed to be good for a direct hit from a cat 3 storm, and this one is only expected to be a 1. The big question is how much rain can it withstand. What I read this morning was that the storm is slowing down and now they’re talking about 20" of rain being possible.
If any city in the US needs a bath, it’s NO.
Not looking good for them this morning. Isaac has pretty much stalled and they’re saying it’s going to take 12+ hours just to go the 70 miles from New Orleans to Baton Rouge.

See 14 billion wasn’t enough
Should have spent 30
This isn’t even that bad of a storm…I’m still going to Orange Beach / Gulf Shores (Alabama) on Friday.
