    Quotes from dipshits who won't leave New Orleans

    From CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/weath...ans/index.html

    "The thing is," he continued, "most people don't have cars to leave, don't have money for gas."


    Note - Cars, Buses, Trains and even planes have been provided so everyone can leave. I live in Thailand and even know this.


    "If I left, I'll probably lose my job," said Jeremiah O'Farrell, another dishwasher who is staying put. "I really don't have anywhere to go if I could leave. I could go home, but that doesn't seem like the thing to try. Too far, I guess."


    Note - He is a dishwasher afraid of losing his job.

    "Really, how bad do you think it's gonna get?" he asked. "I've never been through one, and I'm not sure what to believe. You see the national weather people, and they're telling you it's gonna be really bad."

    "Aw, it's gonna turn!"


    Note - I guess this tool didn't hear about Katrina.

    "I mean, look at the local weather guys, they know what they're doing, not those Weather Channel people. The local people say it's gonna move north, and that's enough for me."

    Note - No words to comment on this dumb ass.

    "A woman who would only give her name as Bette, owner of an antiques store in the French Quarter, says outsiders can't understand. "It's hard to explain to someone who's not from here why anyone would choose to stay."

    Note - All I needed to see was that New Orleans was under water the last time this happened. No need to see anything else.

    "When you stand out there by that river and look at that levee," she said, "you are just so blessed to live here. I am in love, and so I make my choice."

    Note - Ummmm, ok.

    This is Darwinism at its best.

        In all fairness, I would probably try to ride it out also. I would have ample food and water though. I can't imagine leaving everything behind to be looted.

            poor people make horrible life decisions. thats why they are poor to begin with.

            oops. i'm sorry. i meant some people are just disadvantaged and don't have the same opportunity as others to succeed and if we only did something to give them a chance, they wouldn't be poor. we're all equal.

            there are many people who need help in NO.

            but there are many that shouldn't be helped at anyone else's expense.

              Don't talk like that about yourself, you really are a good person.

                Make sure you have a gun. Well until fema comes takes your gun, then loots your place themselves.

                  We had a severe typhoon hit us a couple of weeks back...during the middle of this some idiot decided to take his wife to the beach and show off that he could swim in typhoon waters...well within 30 seconds of him hitting the water he got swept away and then the rescue services spent the rest of the day in dangerous waters, risking their own lives for this fool, needless to say they didnt find him. The heard needs to be culled in some way...and people like this moron should be left to their own demise imo

                  If people in NO are given the opportunity to leave and find safe shelter and they decide to stay, even after what happened during Katrina then let themt...but I wish there was a stipulation that if you refused to be evacuated then you're on your own and no help will arrive if you get in trouble.

                      You nailed that on the head.

                        What some of you don't realize it that people living in these areas get 15
                        warnings a year like this. And 10 years go by for a total of 150 warnings and
                        nothing happened. So people become numb to the warnings since they almost
                        never pan out.

                        Now this warning is big enough for the nation to take notice.
                        So many mistakenly believe this is the only warning they've been given since Katrina.

                        Further the big deal that people just can't grasp if that when these storms come
                        they almost never hit the predicted places.

                        Move out of the way : You can move and the storm can move and now you just moved
                        right into it's path.

                        Remember folks; Katrina never hit New Orleans as predicted. It hit Mississippi.

                        If the river had not overflowed then all the people in N.O. would have been fine
                        and the ones that fled to Mississippi would be the only ones who died.

                        We are able to form our logic based on our positions but that is not the position that
                        these people are in.

                        I know this to be true because I ran from a hurricane and went 250 miles away and that's exactly were the fucking storm ended up. I went back after the storm and the storm never even got close to the place I had left.

                        I was still on the freeway when the storm closed in and the sky went
                        black with rain so thick I could hardly see.
                        My thoughts at the time were "I ran away right to my death".

                        You are basically fliping a coin when deciding to leave to the next state.

                        During Katrina, fleeing to Mississippi didn't work; but maybe only the people
                        who lived thru that remember that and everyone else is like in paranoid mode and
                        think they can escape the flame by hiding in the fire.

                        The fire landed in Mississippi.

                          It must be hard to leave your home.
                          Especially knowing that it is most likely going to be trashed when you return and all your shit will get stolen.


                          I dont own anything that i would put before my own life or my family.
                          Items can be replaced. lives and limbs can't.

                              I guess they should all stay then. The mandatory evacuation is a hoax. My bad.

                              YOU MOVE NORTH, AWAY FROM THE WATER WHERE THE HURRICANE WILL BE SO WEAKENED WHEN IT HITS LAND IT WILL NOT CAUSE DAMAGE. NORTH, NORTH, NORTH... AWAY FROM THE WATER, AWAY FROM THE WATER.

                              Not a difficult concept to grasp.

                              When a tornado warning is issued, you take refuge in your basement, UNDERGROUND if you are smart enough to have a cellar or basement to take shelter in. If not, you go to the bathroom where the plumbing *should* hold together and help keep you safe. You DO NOT walk outside or sit in the living room to wait it out. Nor do you drive up the street and sit in the living room of another house. You take the proper steps and go to a proper shelter. Anyone who leaves one coastal area during a hurricane to take shelter in another coastal area, is an idiot.

                                    I hope they do a follow up with a "Where Are They Now" segment. It would be great to see them admit how dumb they are.

                                      This is such silly logic. Putting your family in the car and running north with 2 million other people is putting your life in danger.

                                      Also, the odds of dying in a hurricane are shit. Katrina the hurricane didn't kill that many people, the levees breaking did.

                                            YOU MOVE NORTH, AWAY FROM THE WATER WHERE THE HURRICANE WILL BE SO WEAKENED WHEN IT HITS LAND IT WILL NOT CAUSE DAMAGE. NORTH, NORTH, NORTH... AWAY FROM THE WATER, AWAY FROM THE WATER.

                                            Not a difficult concept to grasp.
                                            Too bad it's so difficult to grasp that the storm is hundreds of miles wide and
                                            actually bigger than the state of louisiana and it fucking always move NORTH!!

                                            I guess New York is in the south :

                                            Looks like they got fucked up hard being in the north where the storm was weaker.

                                            Try moving west by 500 miles to truely get clear.
                                            And then again, the only reason the storm is near america is because it has been
                                            on a North-West path since it started in the tropics.

                                            That's why people always pray that the storm turns east because it aint going to
                                            stop going north.

                                            Size
                                            One measure of the size of a tropical cyclone is determined by measuring the distance from its center of circulation to its outermost closed isobar, also known as its ROCI. If the radius is less than two degrees of latitude or 222 kilometres (138 mi), then the cyclone is "very small" or a "midget". Radii between 3 and 6 latitude degrees or 333 kilometres (207 mi) to 666 kilometres (414 mi) are considered "average sized". "Very large" tropical cyclones have a radius of greater than 8 degrees or 888 kilometres (552 mi).[13] Use of this measure has objectively determined that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific ocean are the largest on earth on average, with Atlantic tropical cyclones roughly half their size.[14] Other methods of determining a tropical cyclone's size include measuring the radius of gale force winds and measuring the radius at which its relative vorticity field decreases to 1×10-5 s-1 from its center.






                                            When a tornado warning is issued, you take refuge in your basement, UNDERGROUND if you are smart enough to have a cellar or basement to take shelter in.

                                            I'm looking at your underground shelter. How's the air down there?

                                                Did you figure that out all on your own?

                                                NO SHIT it moves north. But it slowly dies the further on land it goes. Duh. If you are in New Orleans, move north. If you are in New York, move west. Simple. My point was you didn't see houses flooded to the rooftops in Arkansas after Katrina. You didn't even have to go that far to escape the severe damage of it. I think people can deal with a little rain and wind if they move north (or away from the water) a little bit.

                                                Using New York is an example is also foolish. It's on the water too. The east coast can get hit just the same as the gulf. If you were in New York, again, move away from the water in the other direction. Again, a very simple concept.

                                                I've lived through TWO hurricanes, TWO tornados and ONE major typhoon. Common sense got me through all of them.

                                                  I can only assume that's why he left. well, that and the # of tranny hookers available for a low price in thailand.

                                                  but not sure why he continues to lambast the states and the people that choose to live here. why not let it go.

                                                    Yes the same levees they were told would break during every single hurricane warning for the last many years. Again, hurricanes aren't extraordinarily dangerous and people that live where they hit are used to them. Many people that live in and around NO don't have to worry about the flooding even if they break again.

                                                      You brought up the tornado and I'm just pointing out that if a tornado hit some
                                                      levees or a dam you'd get that result in the picture.


                                                      Also, tornadoes often occur with other storms :

                                                      http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/...=related_story


                                                      You still can't grasp the fact that Katrina never hit New Orleans.

                                                      You still want to blame all the death's in N.O. on the hurricane and refuse to blame
                                                      the deaths on the broken levees.

                                                        Sure, any place can get hit. However, you go with the best available information at the time. And the best available information right now suggests that New Oeleans is not a safe place.

                                                          So true!!

                                                          The people affected by the flood lived in the most undesirable areas in
                                                          N.O. The areas are undesireable because they are low land and can flood.

                                                          The reason we saw so many black people in flooding is because that's who
                                                          is forced by finances to live there.

                                                          The people in those areas have home mortgages of $150 a month.
                                                          And the reason it's $150 is because after 20 years they got home equity
                                                          loans to buy used cars so the mortgage rose from the original $99 a month.

                                                          This is hard to phathom for people who pay $2200 a month for their place, but this
                                                          is how poor people survive.

                                                          with high fees, pull tooth rather than fix...etc..." and then pray that the slightest
                                                          fuck up never occurs. Because when it does, they are thru.

                                                            I think this is the first post of yours I've ever agreed with.

                                                            Seriously though...after what happened with Katrina, these people are insane to hang around and try to wait it out.

                                                              You assume that they will live though this.
