Something Awful went temporarily offline in 2005 due to its servers, which were located in New Orleans, being shut down by Hurricane Katrina. Because of this, Something Awful users created a fund to donate, via the Red Cross, money to Hurricane Katrina survivors. Kyanka donated $3,000 of his own money to the fund, and promised free merchandize to anyone who donated over $10. In the half-day of the fund's operation, it raised $27,695 before Paypal shut it down due to suspicion of fraud. After learning that Paypal would only allow the money to be donated to United Way, which users of the site considered rife with corruption, the money was refunded to the donors.

OK I'm packing up. They're flipping the exit ramps to on ramps. Word is spreading because the Coast Guard had an alarming meeting and everyone immediately texted their loved ones. This is what I got:

quote:

Just got out from the call at work. Category I or II, making landfall Saturday, between Nola and Houston. The river is expected to spike at 20’ (including rain/storm surge), the levees are between 20-23’ high and we’re very worried that the river will over top the levees.

The governors office hasn’t talked about this because they’re afraid of “inciting panic”

reminder that you assume levee failure at overtopping, however you do not need to overtop a levee for it to fail
