NOLA didn’t even get contraflow going the fucking idiots
I guess he keeps driving back and forth to where the flooding starts
I was looking at my Windy app radar. It looked like it was moving W-NW at the time, and I thought it would take its time making land fall as opposed to a more perpendicular trajectory

Looks like all of my med school friends that are critical care specialties are out of Nola now. Won’t have anything on how they’re doing icu stuff directly. Only second hand or fb stuff. Everyone else was nonessential and got the fuck out

I absolutely love storms. Then again I live in CA and have never had to deal with a really bad one. I remember my ex went to FL for work and a really bad storm hit and she got mad at me because I told her I was all excited and asking for video and stuff lol.
Isn’t the survival rate for hurricanes something like 99.9%? What’s everyone worried about?

I kinda wondered what it would be like in like a clear circle thing with tons of oxygen/water/food that floats and is made out of bullet proof glass or something impenetrable and just set it in the edge of where a hurricane is supposed to hit. Really surprised nobody has done that and live streamed it. Must be too dangerous/dumb lol.

A lighthouse?
Some kind of customized Zorb ball would be just the ticket.
Looks like the grass (as sod) was just planted, so perhaps the tree was as well, which would make it a lot easier to blow over imo without all the roots stretching out all over.
Maybe, although news reports have the wind speed at landfall in Louisiana at 150+ mph, which is more than enough to uproot mature trees.
Sure, but look how there are no roots extending beyond the main root ball. Never seen a mature tree uprooted that looked anything like that, and the obvious fairly new sod makes it more likely to be a recently planted tree imo.

Is it from landscaping fabric?

It can’t be recently planted, It’s like 80 feet tall. Some trees just have shallow root systems.

I would say more like 40 feet tall.
This thing is still a Category 3? And not moving very quickly at all?
This is really bad.
