    Hurricane Katrina, anybody affected by it? also..Europe's Weather Disaster?

    I figured a Katrina thread would be dominating the board.

    All I've seen hit Florida was flooding like I couldn't believe. I thought the storm was done but the weather and news and feds are screaming from the rafters that this storm is now a Category 4 and could move to 5 before it hits Lousiana.

    That's some scary shit.

    Somethign this country just don't need.

    Also, wtf happened in Europe? It's like one weather nightmare after another. This shit has been going on for several years now. It's way past getting scary.

                      Okay, scary thing just came over the news. Katrina is now a Category 4 and it's at NIGHT. If it's that fucking strong at night when the sun comes up it could easily kick it up to a 5?

                              As stupid as this may sound and forgive me, but by 7am in the morning it should be a Cat 4 which is as ridiculous as it sounds is a lot less than what a Cat 5 can do.

                              Yes I know a Cat 4 is still a motherfucker to deal with.

                              Problem is the news says the heat of the water in the gulf is like 90degrees! That's some hot natural water! It's just feeding and feeding the storm! If the water is 90degrees on monday morning and the sun comes up 2 hours before it is supposed to hit? A Cat 5 is a strong possibility.

                                      yes and if it happens that way thousand(s) will die.

                                      For those of you who do not know about the "big one" in southeast LA, this is like Cali's 10 earth quake that is going to happen sooner or later.

                                      New Orleans is about to get the eqivulant in devistation to that 10.0 earth quake.

                                              www.directnic.com is in downtown New Orleans.

                                              What happens if they lose their internet connections?

                                              Will all domains registered there eventually stop working?

                                                  Okay thanks for the info Will76 and KRL. I thought I was hearing things!

                                                  This shit looks way more fucked up than I could have imagined. I thought the thing would peter out and just dump some rain. This looks really bad and if I was anywhere near there I would haul ass like there was no tomorrow. Fuck that wait the storm out shit.

                                                  Let's hope a miracle happens and it dies out or something.

                                                      MikeAI said its located in the most secure building in NO and the building is supposed to be able to take a direct hit of a major hurricane.

                                                      However the head of the EOC said NO could be under water for up to 6 months
                                                      and be the most devasting storm ever to hit a major US city since its looking to be a Cat 5 by the time it hits. So I guess it becomes a question of how long the generators can keep on going if no power is restored for quite some time even if the building holds up.

                                                      They're saying now over 100,000 residents don't have the ability to leave as well as tourists still in the city who are clueless.

                                                      Unless this bitch does a last minute turn, I'd say NO is going to get wiped out and will be out of commission for many months.

                                                          Gadzooks, there are warnings all over the fucking radio and web and tv!

                                                          Talking about record tornado spawns!??? Unprecedented flooding???

                                                          If it's a Cat 4 or 5 when at landfall, by the time it rolls up the state and into the valleys it'll dump all kinds of shit.

                                                          Fucking Florida got drenched. People talking about they can't rebuild.

                                                          Real estate? Oil rigs?

                                                              Dies out? The fucker is getting stronger by the minute. The way its looking it might be a Cat 6 on landfall and about 200 mile wide path of complete destruction.

                                                              The bill for this one is going to make Andrew look like small change.

                                                                                      I have my servers on the 4th floor of sturdy building with natural gas generators that kick on automatically. In theory this should work as long as the underground fiber lines stay in tack and the gas doesn't get shut off or lines burst. Who knows though, shit like this has obviously never been tested.

                                                                                          The bill for this one is going to make Andrew look like small change.

BUt even at 145 still have gust to 175. and lots of tornadoes to the NE of where it hits.

Now i dont know how those fiber lines run and how they will make it through thes storm.

                                                                                              I have my servers on the 4th floor of sturdy building with natural gas generators that kick on automatically. In theory this should work as long as the underground fiber lines stay in tack and the gas doesn't get shut off or lines burst. Who knows though, shit like this has obviously never been tested.
                                                                                              Power and connectivity. They will need both for a long time.

                                                                                              What if the domain in question is actually nameservers that 100s of others domains use?

                                                                                              Will the 100s of domains stop working?

                                                                                                  It validates an earlier thread I started last week that the price of oil could hit $100 soon.

                                                                                                              we have the best drainage system in the world, we can pump out 1 inch of rainfall an hour. Some of you don't get 1 inch of rain all month.

                                                                                                              The problem is not the rain though, it's the storm surge. The levees wil not be able to keep the surge out, so image the entire ocean pouring over miles and miles of levees, and then filling up something that is below the normal sea level. you can't keep the gulf water out. when the gulf goes down you still have 20 feet of water sitting there, this will get pumped out but will take months.

This whole thing has taken me by surprise. I'm just asking on GFY because so many of us live in those areas I figure I could get first hand info instead of this half ass news business shit.

                                                                                                                                                                  Of course none of this counts the storm surge - the latest waves in the edge of the storm were just recorded at 55 ft - so those would be on top of a storm surge of 20 ft - sounds like the 5th floor might be a little safer

This business for me is a cakewalk. I now realize I must spend more time and effort on it. If I did that for 6 months I could put away enough dough to roll like a mo' into real estate far, far, easier than the average joe or jane.

Andrew was freaky, saw a big rig/trailer thrown sideways into a building on the base down there. Remember it like it was yesterday, it was nuts.

If this type of shit isn't motivation enough for people to kick their game into overdrive I don't know what is.

I take his word for it as I'm sure he knows his market capacities. Some of our market is getting freaky on the psychological level, but who doesn't know that a large part of trading/investing is based on pscyh...strange really when you look at it...
