Ivan Makes Everyone Nervous.
Its a long shot that New Orleans is going to receive the full fury of Ivan, yet the New Orleans Emerergency folks have 10,000 body bags "just in case".Walter Maestri, an emergency manager in New Orleans, America's most vulnerable metropolitan area, has 10,000 body bags ready in case a major hurricane hits. As Hurricane Ivan's expected path shifted uncomfortably close to the low-lying urban soup bowl, Maestri said Tuesday he might need a lot more.
If a strong Category 4 storm such as Ivan made a direct hit, he warned, 50,000 people could drown, and the city could cease to exist.
Galveston is evan a further longshot, Northstar describes a nasty scenerio of A Major hurricane comming up Galveston Bay. I think he understates it. OUr thoughts and prayers are with the people in front of this monster.
