Hurricane Ida battered Cuba on Friday before it started to make its way into the Gulf of Mexico in a beeline toward Louisiana, where it's expected to hit as a Category 4 storm on the anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina.
The storm hit Cuba with roof-ripping force and sustained winds of up to 80 miles per hour on Friday, prompting evacuations of flood-prone New Orleans neighborhoods and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

WNU editor my thoughts exactly! Big trouble on the horizon
If you've lived on the coast you know not believe anything until you see it, this has occasionally ended in tragedy, but the far greater majority are usually much less than predicted.

For it to be an honest comparison, New Orleans would have to flood. But fairness is not often an issue in politics.
The Hurricane might be less bad than Katrina and the Left will say there was less suffering due to their efforts.
Correct
As a leftie I hope for the best but note that when chips are down suddenly big bad federal gov needed expected and most welcome

You talking about truth! You wouldn't know it if it bit you in the butt shill. As a curiosity why do you have such a fixation on "girlie boys"?
"As a leftie I hope for the best" hahahahaha, you must be joking, lololololololo!
Best coverage is the Weather Channel, excellent at scaring the sh** out of people. Not a bad idea on this one. get away from the coast.
Wouldn't surprise me. From what I've been reading they're predictably blaming it all on climate change and the end of the world...
