Administrators Naomi Posted August 28, 2005 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2005 Dear Ones, The citizens of New Orleans, LA (USA) are potentially facing a grave hurricane (Katrina). I know that I am not the only one who has friends and close associates in the area. The hurricanes are coming often and deadly, let's not become complacent. Please them in your prayers.

Dr. Shane Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 New Orleans actually sits below sea level. While dikes and pumps have been constructed to protect the city, a direct hit will be disasterous when it hits. With huricanes it isn't a matter of "if" but rather "when". We should keep all of them in our prayers. Let's pray the people that need to leave do so and emergency teams can do their job well. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Dr. Shane Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 It seems some prayers were heard. Katrina Costly, but Not As Big As Expected </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> the storm actually turned out to be much less powerful than predicted. Meteorologists say a puff of dry air coming out of the Midwest weakened Katrina just before it reached land, transforming a Category 5 monster into a less-threatening Category 3 storm. The last-minute gust also pushed Katrina slightly to the east of its Big Easy-bound trajectory, sparing New Orleans a direct hit _ though not horrendous harm. "It was kind of an amazing sequence of events," said Peter Black, a meteorologist at the Hurricane Research Division of the federal government's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> But the catastrophic sequence of events that appeared highly likely on Sunday afternoon _ a Category 5 hurricane washing over the Big Easy's ramparts and filling it like a bowl _ did not come to pass. Instead, a different scenario unfolded. Several levees failed on Tuesday, unleashing floods that placed the city of 480,000 in peril long after Hurricane Katrina had dissipated. <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> It is believed the maximum sustained winds in New Orleans were 100 mph. If the storm had not dropped from a cat. 5 to a cat. 4 before landfall and had not turned east, much more damage would have occured in New Orleans - the entire roof of the Superdome may well have been tore off exposing the nearly 10,000 inside to hurican rains for 12 hours. In Mississippi the winds lifted shipping containers (nearly the size of semi-truck trailers) filled with frozen chicken and tossed them about like loose timbers. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
