FLA 'Don't hog all the Storms'

[BayouVenteux]

oh thanks...that would be cool....I'd like to see that again.

I looked for the one I viewed recently that would interest you, which is a CAT 4-5 storm coming in from the SE between Lake Borgne and the Mississippi River Delta...but can't find it in a brief lunch break Google. Here is one that depicts Hurricane Betsy, the modern-day local benchmark storm, and the estimated storm surge and wind field. Wasn't a pretty sight then, in the more rural, less congested, higher elevated Louisiana of 1965...just imagine today.

a note of caution: the high-res version is about 14 mb and a relatively slow-loader.

I dont know how you guys could wish for a storm (especially some of you who wish for Cat 5's of all things) after youve seen images from Andrew's destruction, heard stories about Carla, and seen the death and destruction the Galveston hurricane called. It seems as if you all want to lose your property and put your lives in danger for the sake of experiencing a hurricane.
