dang.... all the problems in New Orleans and other areas.....

Well folks, New Orleans is now under water. Again. Last I heard two levees broke, and  flooding was at about six feet. But they had sand bags all ready to go and were just waiting for the winds to die down.
And I also saw that Galveston's historic district was on fire. It's a shame, being that the buildings were constructed after a hurricane in 1900 wiped the town off the map. But the good news is that the hurricane was downgraded to a cat 3. And wind gusts in the Louisianna area were about 45-50 miles per hour. But the rain was heavy.
All in all, keep the folks in the Gilf coast in your prayers, and hope that those affected are able to get their lives back to normal.

There is a pretty big fault line near us :)

ITs not too active.... but.... it has been predicted slip a few times causing big earthquakes.


†B†V† :hat
 
Egads. Fault lines. :sick
Here in Tucson, we have one fault line. And not a peep from it since the early 1800s. And teh last earthquake created Sabino Canyon. And you can probably imagine how violent that quake was if it created a canyon. If it quakes again, Tucson is a gonner.
 
Worst we get up here in NY is bad snowstorms, but then you just stay inside untill it dies down.

Except of course, the houses I live in. We have to go outside and take a hammer to the gutter if the freeze up.

:lol

Normally the less active ones strike hardest.... if I am right. Only because they do not slip all the time.... and when the do THEY REALLY SLIP :lol

Bv :hat
 
Yeah, I live in the next valley over. I am pretty much shielded by the Tucson mountains. That means if a quake happens, I'll have to just tap my house and it will collapse instead of the quake knocking it down. :D

Yuck. You couldn't pay me to live in the New England area. I can't handle big cities, and forget about snow. I am a desert rat through and through. And Arizona fits the bill perfectly. the weather is hot and the food is hot. 8)

Ha, I live near the San Andreas fault, so if the big one hits all of Los Angeles and pretty much most of California is screwed.

Then I suggest buying a boat. :D

I live about 10 miles from Albany, in the suburbs. I went to NYC once, and I'm afraid its just to massive for me as well. I started freaking out when we had a green light, and cars were stopped at the intersection in front of us, going -->
 
Well, I'd get sick if I went to NYC. I live just outside of Tucson, Az, in between Tucson and Three Points, Az. Three points is so small it has yet to be incorporated, and consists of a few hundred residents, a saloon, grocery store and one gas station. Oh yeah, and an Ace Hardware store. Tucson has anywhere between 250,000 and 700,000 residents, spread out within a few hundred square miles. The population swells during the winter, when the snowbirds and college students come to town.
BTW, people from Minnesota do not know how to drive. 25 miles per hour in the left hand lane on the interstate with their turn signals on is not a good idea.

Then we'll trade. You get the last half of the hurricane season and we'll take the sunshine!!
 
Well, here too. At least the hurricanes after Katrina are either going out in the Atlantic, or they are big sissy hurricanes when they make landfall.
 
well that is good

even if they are big sissy hurricanes they would still destroy new orleans and places if they got hit by them
