GUSTAV: Massive Evil Hurricane of Death! Panic!

[Uncle Fester]

We should start an AW pool on where Gustav is gonna hit.

My spidey-sense is it's gonna hit Nawlins, but "only" as a strong Cat 1.

That's a thoroughly "but what the fuck do I know?" guesstimate, but I'm basing it on two things:

1. The models have swung west and east but always seem to settle out somewhere around the Ponchatrain.

2. It's statistically unlikely NO would get another hit from another Cat-3+ storm like Katrina. Katrina was a 396-year-storm (i.e., you'd expect a storm like that once in 400 years...no kidding, that's how people who figure these things, figure these things).

That being said, any kind of hurricane hit is going to fuck the Big Easy up pretty good.

Dude, just out of curiosity - were you a Meterology major? You seem to know more about this crap than most...

There's a new one in the Atlantic now too...

I'm not afraid of Hanna. I will call it "Tropical Storm Doggie" seeing as how our Dog's name is Hanna, and Doggie isn't very scary a name.

Nope, but I do disaster-prep for NASC and I have a house on the water in Florida. So you kinda become a hurricane expert the same way mailmen become experts on dog bites.

Careful, I've never met a Hanna that wasn't a conniving bitch.

Or, just call it Hurricane Hanna "Montana" and then you can be happy because it'll sing to you as it smashes your house and makes all your preteen daughters go apeshit for it's autograph.

just preteens? Hell, i will take that to add it to my special "collection" that i have for her. She is the greatest thing ever.

We need her for the next year's harvest... Britney provided well, but Hanna's will be much better.

"You don't understand, I just came over here with this six pack of zima and a box of condoms to tell her she shouldn't be talking to people on the internet, it's dangerous..."

Wow...I think it's somehow ironically appropriate that this thread about hurricanes took a sudden, unexpected turn at the last moment..

I hope this thing gets near Baton Rouge by Saturday. It'd favor my ASU Mountaineers in Death Valley.

It's really amazing the number of threads that come back to Chris Hanson.

What about a Hurricane Ditka?

Ditka would flood anything east of the Mississippi
