Scale of Katrina

The news coverage does not do justice to the scale of what has happened.

This website link from the NOAA shows detailed satellite images of the everywhere affected.

Unreal!

Thanks, I've been looking for something like that - now if I can find the Superdome I'll be able to orientate myself on it and find other places.

 

Mate, really dont look there look at some of the southern coast lying regions. Some of them simply arent there anymore. Huge swaithes of land have vanished under water.

Click here and look at the photo - http://ngs.woc.noaa.gov/storms/katrina/24416403.jpg

Then click here and note that the square you clicked on is just under the double line of boxes running under the blue lake which is roughly in the centre of the pic.

Alternatively look at this one and scroll toward the bottom right corner and just in from what looks like a jetty which is sticking out of the sea, there is "HELP" written on the ground. http://ngs.woc.noaa.gov/storms/katrina/24415553.jpg

Bear in mind that map doesnt have all the areas hit by the hurricane on it.

 

Actually ...

... I think this is where you might find the 'Scale of Katrina' ...

RE: Actually ...

Is this a defence mechanism or something? You're becoming really boring and loathsome with your 'comedic slant' on this.

Why not give it a rest and go play with your dick or something. There's a good lad.

Check out the ship on the bottom one!

 

looking at places that arent there might make it tricky for him to see them

 

RE: Actually ...

Why do people take offence to TFP?

Haven't you figured out yet that most of his postings are purely piss-takes, and yet you still seem to have an overload of umbrage.

Deary me, this place gets worse, and more predictable, by the day

 

RE: looking at places that arent there might make it tricky for him to see them

You can see odd bits of land sticking out of the sea.

 

RE: Actually ...

I just ignore him, for the reason that he constantly does it.

 

RE: Actually ...

Oh its a pisstake is it? Oh Im sorry, please continue laughing at his comedy genius.

/sarcasm mode off.

 

RE: Actually ...

Yes, a piss-take.

The man behind TFP will find this a sad situation. But TFP is just a character who lives off umbrage, and you sir are just fueling his existance.

 

RE: Actually ...

The man behind FTP needs help. If this is his 'alter-ego' then id suggest he go finds a councellor.

 

RE: Actually ...

The man behind TFP is a good bloke.

TFP on the other hand is a lovely person.

But by you over-reacting, throwing your teddy outta the pram and giving him the attention and umbrage he looks for, you're not helping the situation.

Maybe that's what you want though...the attention?

 

RE: Actually ...

Jesus Acky, it's a frikkin website, not real life.

 

RE: Actually ...

No, you're right no doubt I am rising to his bait, but Im not the sort of person to sit here whilst he just goes on and on and on in such an insensitive manner. That's just part of who I am, its certainly not for the attention. Id rather he just shut the **** up.

That's my final say - just to keep you happy

 

RE: Actually ...

If you'd ignored his comments he would've shut the **** up.

The Contrast between TFP and the man behind him is massive, don't tar the two with the same brush.

JD is right...this is far from real life.

 

Just admit it ...

... you want to be me.

I bet you keep your husband up all night,
'Acky, stop debating in your sleep again'.

 

has journo hit you yet or are you still waiting?

 

Sorry?

I never knew Journo Tyke had a desire to hit me.

He certainly didn't express this when I was talking to him not 30minutes ago.

Are you sure you didn't dream this?

You're a strange one.
