JimmyF, y'know I respect ya' but the info in that post don't chime with what we watched per procedure. Sounds like something Limbaugh would put out to cover up ass.
Yet Mayfield from the NHC was up busting his ass working as usual for him and got on the air about the same time you've posted the info above. Yes he went overboard to warn people. Those buoys are tough fucking items. They stand up to lots of shit but for one to be destroyed was enough to light a fire under alot of people's asses.
68' waves are not a good sign.
The storm surge at one point was almost 20ft high and travelled 7 miles inland. That's fucking scary beyond. Had it been a tsunami what we know of N'Orleans would be now located in Iowa.
Only official to admit a fuck up was that chick who ordered the evacuation ship pilots to leave before the evacuation could commence.
Why the fuck do you have an evacuation fleet of ships and then tell the pilots to leave because it's dangerous?
We will never hear the end to fucking up in this situation. Yet it clearly shows what many of us have known for a long time, you cannot depend on the politicians to protect you. It's like that old argument about keeping and bearing arms. It's okay if criminals have guns but if you do you go to jail. What asshat retard came up with those laws I don't know but I hope he/she is spinnin' on a pitchfork in the lower east side of Hell.
Nagin's an engineer/communications executive. He's not a tactical expert. None of the people in charge are emergency tactical experts. Not even Brown from FEMA.
What college did Brown graduate from, the 'Simon Bar Sinister School of Physics'??? Who taught him emergency techniques, the 'Sisters of Skeletor Squadron'????
It's called dumb mother fuckers in a mother fucker's job.
