this is so depressing. my wife, son and i were just in NO a few weeks ago and had a blast. NO was really picking up a movie industry as well. many films were being shot there (that's why we were there) with the great architecture. i really hope Katrina spares the historic buildings and most importantly all life.

Forget about CNN and FOX...they want New Orleans to be under water for 6 months...it's good news for them to cover.This storm no matter if it's 145-155-165 MPH winds, there will be a major storm surge ahead of it...there will be flooding, there will be debris that gets launched around and causes major damage...no matter where it comes ashore.Where is Anderson Cooper?

The Hurrican doc guy on TWC (Dr. Lyons) just said it would only take a cat 3 storm to overtake the levees and cause great damage.

That is not really true a very strong SLOW moving Cat 3 coming up the mouth of the river could top the levves and push water into the city
Maybe I am splitting hairs here but that is what the deal is

I read an article a bit ago about how even NO's ability to sustain a 3 is based on outdated data..I'm trying to remember and locate where I read it.The Hurrican doc guy on TWC (Dr. Lyons) just said it would only take a cat 3 storm to overtake the levees and cause great damage.

that would be horrible to me too. while losing my house would suck, losing the city would be much worse. Yeah, are houses are the "bomb" so to speak. Living in a shotgun style house & never closing a door to a room. Or having the worst exterior for an house you could imagine, but having 12 foot ceilings, and hardwood floors you can see your reflection in.as an architecture student I too am concerned about all the history and great spaces that are potentially going to be washed away.
Nawlins is a cool, cool town with great homes and business inside old homes. Its nothing like the french quarter most of yall see of Nawlins. Its about hoods & snowball stands. Its about how great a use for that old piece of garbage on Tchopotoulis Tip's has become. Its about sitting on your stoop talk "at" your neighbors. Its about blacks & whites living on the same street & going to the same schools, restaurants, and sitting next to each other on the streetcar.
New Orleans isn't anything like the French Quarter. Sure, thats a part of the city. But for anybody in the so called know, its about walking down the middle of maple street with a togo cocktail in your hand on the way to the Leaf to catch some Walter or Rebirth. Stopping by the fly and stumbling onto some friends having a crawfish boil for no other reason than it being a tuesday.
Figuring out what "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" means and living it. Thats New Orleans.

Nice, you wish us luck and then cannot wait to see our homes floating around or just leveled.classy.Let me be the 172nd person to wish our boys from southern LA and AL good luck.

I am seeing a LOT of insensitive remarks in this thread.There have been at least three reported posts.This is not cool, guys - be nice or don't say a damn word.My story is that a friend of mine is supposed to get married in New Orleans, where her entirte family lives, this Labor Day weekend. I was uable to attend, but I got free at the last minute and was supposed to fly down this Friday. She is, essentially, CANCELLING her wedding - 150 person wedding with 100 out of town guests - all of whom are having to cancel their plans. She left for New Orleans Saturday, and is now, essentially, evacuating with her family instead of getting married.I pray that in 2 days we won't be seeing 4 story buildings 2 stories under water. My prayers go out to my friend, her family, and all the residents of So. La.

Not entirely true. There have been three documented cases of class 5 hurricanes to hit US shores - Andrew being the most recent - and sometime around the turn of the century the french quarter was flooded due to a hurricane.IIRC, class 5 hurricane Camille erased a few towns off of the Southern Texas map.
