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.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
