If a major hurricane is scheduled for landing somewhere...
- Thread starter Xenomorph
- Start date
But in that scenario, I don't know if it would play too much into SEC games because most are far enough away from the coast.
/we all know this can change drastically.
I have to think it would effect not only ours, but also LSU, Auburn, to some extent OM and obviously USM. Because if you're somebody thinking about heading north with the family 24 hours later, I doubt a football game would be very important in the financial scheme of things.
it is going to hit somewhere. And whereever it hits, Entergy people will be there restoring power, whether it hits their area or not. So, that's really not that amazing that they would do that.
I'll never forget getting my electric bill for August 2005, the month Katrina hit. I was without power in my home for a week. And yet my bill was higher than in was in July. All because of a "fuel adjustment".
on 55 and 59 starting saturday. Times Picayune and Baton Rouge Advocate websites havent reported that..im thinking its a rumor...
Lets put it this way. If anything looks like its within say 75 miles of NO/Biloxi by tomorrow afternoon (as in forecast) all hell well break loose on the Coast. It is starting too already.
The only point it makes is they do expect something and they are preparing - as they usually do. </p>
of gas as high as it is. People don't want to have to drive all the way to Memphis & beyond. It is gonna be one big mess. Glad as hell I don't have tickets to a game down that way.
to USM's home opener that probably won't be used (in response to the original question). I'll be planning where my wife and dog will be going, battening things down at the house, and getting ready to go in to work, where I will be till it's passed.</p>
I did notice that on Weather Underground that 4 of the 7 computer models they have now have it west of the mouth of the Mississippi as of 2pm edt. Good ol GFDL though was still right on target to S. Ms.</p>

New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin, who was a key speaker Wednesday morning at the Democratic National Convention, has decided to return to New Orleans immediately to closely monitor Hurricane Gustav.
</p>
Gustav, which has hit the southwest coast of Haiti and is threatening Cuba, appears to be on a likely course toward the U.S. Gulf region. The area, which will mark its third anniversary of the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on August 29, is still in the recovery stages.
"While it is too early to tell exactly where Gustav will hit and how strong it will be, I'm deeply concerned about the emotional and psychological effect on our citizens," said Nagin.
"Although we have made strong strides in rebuilding our infrastructure, the levees have not been fully repaired and we have an $800 million budget gap to complete our sewage and water systems," Mayor Nagin continued.
The city of New Orleans has been lobbying the federal government for this funding to revitalize the area for three years and has received less than 50 percent of FEMA funding needed to repair or rebuild key public facilities. In May of this year, the City of New Orleans received notification that it will finally receive Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) that was promised by the federal government.
The Mayor is urging New Orleans city residents to visit www.cityofNO.com for updated hurricane information. New Orleans citizens can also register for the City assisted evacuation plan by calling 311, 504-658-2299 or 877-286-6431. Hearing impaired can call 800-981-6622. The 311 helpline offers assistance in both Spanish and Vietnamese.</p>
