But it's a whole different weather vibe than a hurricane. It's a different temperature and everything.
It's still got water in it. I don't see how they can possibly be different.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think what we need is a movie where people run from a hurricane. It's the only way to solve this.

You can't make a good snowfort in a hurricane.

There is a bodysurfing tradeoff.

What is even happening?
Frost is much colder. It's much slower. It's lower down. Do we need to send you back to Michigan for a refresher course on frost, ita?
Partly for selfish reasons because I will never get a chance to visit NO as it was
Like you Maria, I'm mostly just horrified and heartbroken because of the tragedy, but I have to admit, there's a small bit of "I'll never get to see it" in there, too. A lot of people I've talked with though, those who've been there, and those who haven't, feel the same.

The closest I've come to bodysurfing is a bellyflop. Burrowing is much easier.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Still, it's bad enough that it is archived on the interbunny. I don't need my failed attempts at race sluttage shown on basic cable.
ftr, I don't need any potentially successful ones shown either. I'm demure that way.
Ah, so THAT'S the way you are demure.
Watching the news. I don't think people 'stealing' groceries should be called looters.

I agree, Trudy. And at this point, with all that water, and no electricity, the people taking things like groceries are performing a salvage job, more than anything else.

Me either. It's not like they can buy food anywhere.

2:07 P.M. - (AP) -- A top casino executive is calling on the Mississippi Legislature to enact emergency legislation to keep the state's coast gaming industry alive.
Treasure Bay Casino President and CEO Bernie Burkholder says most of the casino hotels on the coast survived Hurricane Katrina, but several gambling barges suffered extensive damage. He says it could take several years to rebuild.
