Hopefully everyone has learned their lessons from Katrina and people will evacuate this time and the authorities seem to have started the evacuation earlier this time. The Katrina disaster could have been greatly reduced the first time. Hopefully they apply what they learned from that this time.

I share your hope but am pessimistic on the outcome.  Recent evidence suggests that we are not quick on the uptake when it comes to learning lessons.

The people who will be hurt the most will be the people who have fewer options in their lives due to economics.  I do fear this will be a terrible disaster for the entire area. A lot of people will be unable to get out of harm's way because they do not have the resources.  There will be a big need not only in the immediate aftermath of the storm but there is also a  long term need that will not be met.  How do people relocate their families to an area that is safer and be able to support them, find jobs, new homes, etc?

All of this very true and worth pondering and worth working to change for people who don't have the voice, power, or resources that others do. 

There are those who can leave or change their circumstances but are too stubborn. But there are many others trapped in a cycle  of poverty who just cannot do it and needs help.

One thing to be sure of for those who will be hit by the storm, help will be coming their way.

There are people who always rise to the occasion... people who act out of a sense of compassion rather that fill the world with more verbal vomit.

Any bank that writes a 30 year mortgage in these areas right now should have it's FDIC coverage revoked by the Fed. There is almost zero chance these areas will be habitable in 25 years.  The small chance that does exist is if human beings drastically alter their existing behavior starting no later than immediately, or someone figures out how to control weather within that time frame, otherwise good luck.

It's why insurance in these area cost more than the mortgage.

And that's after heavy government subsidization via FEMA. It's probably time to stop subsidizing it, at least for new loans. I don't want to rip the rug out from under people already grandfathered in but it's time to stop making the problem worse. Yeah, it's gonna screw people and their property values but sorry. Somebody is gonna get caught holding the bag at the end of the day.

It's true. Sea levels are rising. Hurricanes are getting stronger as a whole. That's not debatable. The clock is ticking loudly for New Orleans. For Miami. For Charleston. For the Outer Banks. For pretty much all low lying coastal areas for that matter.

In 10 years if nothing is done I'm not sure what will happen.

Don't live on the coast. Live on the Northshore and further inland from Ponchetrain or the Tchfuncta river...then your safe.

No one should live right along the coast. In the coming years it will not be possible to live on our coastlines anyway.

Prayers to those who do live on the coastline.

I say make them insure themselves. 

Might as well at the cost of current insurance.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
