Re: FEMA Preparing

Those numbers on FEMA's expectations, I have heard similar ones several times today on FNC, and that the 'Dome is expected to flood.

(edit) The estimate af 50,000 dead comes from a NHC official, based on a landfalling Cat 5 on its current path (said it again on FNC at 12:54am ET)

They're talking massive refugee camps in northern LA, west TX, and surrounding areas, where people may have to live for weeks or even months. The FEMA rep they were interviewing said there are FEMA camps (of sorts) in FL where people are still living from hurricanes some time ago (maybe years, not 100% on that).

And Accuweather is saying on the record that 50-75% of NO will be flooded.
