Re: Did you notice the storm surge prediction for Gustav?

Quote:

For a bit more information on a Hurricane with a track similar to Gustav's track.
Google Hurricane Betsy-1965 or Hurricane Pam, which was an exercise run against a hypothetical Hurricane called Pam.
Both Betsy and Pam had a SE to NW track near New Orleans.
Betsy left New Orleans in a huge mess. That's why the Levee System was built. At least one of the reasons.



I study the hydrology of MS River and it's tributaries up to Memphis. I'm familiar with the oil/gas structure
of the area as well as Chemical Alley stretching 30 miles to the West.

If CAT 4 Gustav dumps 26" North of Houma as it surges into Lake Pontchartrain, fill up your tanks.

Gas will be $5 by the next week.
