Will another hurricane hit New Orleans before this season is over? |
|
With the rush of people that want to get back into New Orleans and check out what "stuff" they have left, would it be wise to move back in until the levees are fixed and the people are safe? It is not impossible that another storm could hit the city.

1. I worry about that too. And if not this year, then next year, and the |
|
next. We're in a hot decade for storms and then there's global warming on top of that. :(

2. We are in the cone for TD 18 |
|
Tropical Depression 18, soon to be Tropical Storm Rita, is being forecast to most likely hit Texas but there is certainly no reason to think it couldn't track to the northern edge of its probability cone and get New Orleans again, most likely as a cat 3 storm if it slews north of Cuba.
RITA??? With an R??? And it's only mid-September??????

It was forecast to last longer and produce more storms. My first name is Wanda, and a couple of years ago Wanda was on the list of names for that years storms and I actually laughed about it. :-( I said "Fat chance of that ever happening - if we get into the W's with hurricanes I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the four horsemen of the Apocalypse because if there's that many hurricanes it must be Armageddon".
Damn.

I think though, that the later in the season we go, the storms will veer more to the north along Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. I could be wrong however.

7. sufficient unto the day |

we want to go back & fix our homes
anyone who doesn't want to go back, it's pretty simple, don't go back
let those who want to, do so
another storm could hit tomorrow or a storm of such power might not hit there agn for 30 yrs
