Ida hurtled closer to the Gulf Coast on Saturday, a treacherous storm that could lash Louisiana within 24 hours as a Category 4 hurricane – 16 years to the day that Katrina delivered its devastating blow. (Snip) fueled by exceptionally warm waters in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, was expected to quickly intensify Saturday and could make a direct hit on the state Sunday afternoon or evening with possible life-threatening storm surge, fierce flooding and catastrophic 140-mph winds, forecasters warned. “Today is it,” Jamie Rhome, acting deputy director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, said Saturday. “If you’re in coastal Louisiana and Mississippi, you really, really have to get going

By the looks of google maps, with traffic turned on, it seems a lot of people are taking that advice.

New Orleans has another idiot Mayor that has said it is too late to evacuate. This despite having several days to leave. I suppose the yellow buses are still there, unable to be driven anywhere else. NO police cars will be showing up in Houston. A black General will have to be brought in to helicopter them out.

Currently still a tropical storm. All this is PREDICTION. At this point, I don't believe much in anything DM predicts about anything.

We may be getting ready to find out if New Orleans learned anything from the disastrous 2005 Hurricane Katrina. Did the goobermint invest in the "faulty levees" that allegedly contributed to the flooding? Will we see looting? Will LEO's go around and confiscate weapons? Will nursing home residents be condemned to die because nobody cared enough to have them evacuated? Will the Xiden regime be blamed like Bush was?

Let’s see what the Biden response is. Is his FEMA ready? I’m thankful that Trump is not in the firing line to be blamed for this (or he probably will be some how). Feel bad for all the New Orleans and surrounding areas with their low sea levels and Democrat “leadership”

FTA: New Orleans previously issued mandatory evacuations for coastal communities outside the city's levee system, which protects the area from flooding. Here's an idea for the people living in low-lying Louisiana coast, permanently evacuate from the swamp.

The penchant for killing the messenger is not helpful. According to the latest report at the NOAA: ..IDA EXPECTED TO BEGIN RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING SOON... ...PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY SHOULD BE RUSHED TO COMPLETION TODAY IN THE WARNING AREA ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST… _________ This storm was expected to intensify, especially in the area that includes New Orleans. I have a hunch that any naysayers don’t live anywhere near New Orleans...

Checking the temperature in Louisiana, tomorrow it will not be as hot as normal. (I used a weather map for this) However, it will be warmer in Texas and from where the storm is right now, there is still the chance it could turn. Many of them have over the years. Time will tell.

We'll see how accurate their predictions turn out to be. I used to live on the SE coast and have had this whole hurricane watch and warning thing a number of times. Fairly often, the storm is less powerful than predicted, or swerves off in an unexpected direction. The root problem here is having a city which is below the level of the ocean and river in normal conditions, where 100% of all rainfall has to be pumped out of the basin that is a large part of New Orleans, over the levees. A fundamentally unstable situation. Good luck to all, hope nobody is injured or killed. Certainly, leaving while you can is the right thing to do. We'll see if this rapid intensification turns out to be correct or whether the "Fauci method" has infected the weather guessers. The whole rest of the government lying to us for a couple of years makes it easy to doubt any "official information".

I hope someone tells the Black population of New Orleans that a dangerous hurricane is headed their way. That population is still claiming that Bush did not and left them in the dark.

When intellectuals and public figures espouse dangerous ideas, the effects can be catastrophic on society. I have always been a fan of renowned poet Munawwar Rana, but his statement that the Taliban cannot be considered terrorists but can, at best, be called aggressive, is shocking. Allama Iqbal, the famous poet and composer of the evocative “Sare jahan se achcha Hindostan hamara”, promoted the vision for Pakistan. We are still suffering its consequences.That is why, when a Muslim Member of Parliament (MP) allegedly compares the Taliban to India’s freedom fighters, or when a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board praises the Taliban, we must stop to think about

Samples from early Wuhan COVID-19 patients show the presence of genetically modified Henipah virus, an American scientist has found. Henipah was one of the two types of viruses sent to China by Chinese-born scientists from a Canadian laboratory at the centre of a controversy over the firing of the scientists and collaboration with Chinese military researchers. It is not clear whether the virus found in the Chinese samples is related to the virus samples sent by the Canadian lab, which were shipped in late March 2019. The finding was confirmed for The Epoch Times by another qualified scientist.

For nearly two years, Americans have engaged in a great woke experiment of cannibalizing themselves. American civilization has invested massive labor, capital, and time in an effort constantly to flagellate itself for not being perfect. Yet neither America’s resilience nor its resources are infinite. We are now beginning to see the consequences of what happens when premodern tribalism absorbs Americans. There are concrete consequences when ideology governs policy or when we take for granted the basics of life to pursue its trappings. Who cares whether the blow-dried media is woke if it cannot report the truth and keep politicians honest?

The public school system in America is in crisis — the worst crisis since the forced bussing and integration issues of the 1970s. Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate. They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart. This poisonous doubt is having a tangible effect on enrollment. Despite the fact that public education is free, parents are sending their children to private schools with more reliable, more predictable policies. Enrollment in public schools nationwide declined by 3 percent last year. But it was the numbers for kindergarten enrollment
