GUSTAV: Massive Evil Hurricane of Death! Panic!
- Thread starter Uncle Fester
- Start date
THE CONSENSUS HAS BARELY BUDGED AND THE
NEW OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE.
SINCE TRACK FORECASTS ARE ALWAYS SUBJECT TO LARGE ERRORS AT 3-5
DAYS...AND ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE NOTABLE MODEL SPREAD OVER THE GULF
OF MEXICO...IT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHERE AND
WHEN GUSTAV WILL MAKE FINAL LANDFALL. IN FACT...TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT THE UNCERTAINTIES IN TRACK...INTENSITY...AND SIZE
FORECASTS...THE CHANCES OF HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS WITHIN THE NEXT
FIVE DAYS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AT EACH INDIVIDUAL LOCATION FROM
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE COAST WESTWARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE COASTLINE
OF LOUISIANA.
looks like its time to evac damn it

I had wondered this so I thought I would ask you. Who makes the final call on the hurricane conditions? I figured that base weather would make a recommendation and then the base CO makes the final call and all the tenet commands would have to follow suit.
I also assume that the commodore of the wing gets to make the call on when to evacuate the planes.
Edit: I say finial, you say final.
From my understanding it's the Base CO's call.
Base CO makes the call on conditions. Evacs are usually ordered based on what the local county does (but it's still the base CO's call).
Gettin' paid is a whole can of worms. For NASP, if you're south of Hwy 98, and a mandatory evac is ordered, you'll get per diem and mileage. Otherwise, no soup for you.
Sucks if you live on the north side of 98, but they had to draw a line somewhere.
Cock block!
Update... Look out Mayor Nagen.
Come on yellow....

So basically you are saying that you only need to evac to a point north of Hwy 98 and the people north of 98 don't need to leave?

I was thinking the dame thing... Does that make me a bad person?
Please no. There's already massive spool up for a SAR effort. I would just like to sleep in my own bed for more than one weekend at a time.
No, I'm saying if you live south of 98 and have to evacuate, you'll get paid. If you live north of 98, you won't.
i really dont feel like leaving this weekend, but after staying for katrina, ill gladly leave
Having been well north of 98 for Ivan (NAS Whiting) and MILES inland for Katrina (Meridian, where it STILL was a Cat 2), just get the hell out of Dodge as soon as your command lets you go. The only difference is south of 98 you run the risk of no kidding drowning should you stay. Garcon point was under chest-deep water when Ivan went through. So barring the fact that north of it you're less likely to actually die, you still have to put up with the fact that you will have no power, no A/C, no refrigeration and possibly be playing host to more species of mold and fungus than you knew existed. Riding out a hurricane Cat 2 or greater SUCKS. Avoid at all costs.
