Louisiana has been losing land long before climate change was a thing. it’s bc we caged the mighty mississip. it used to twist and flood and run rampant squirting land into the ocean but in our hubris we chained it in place. now we reap what we have sowed but yeah climate change isn’t helping. lmao. I remember as a kid driving to grand isle and my dad pointing out all the places that used to be land when he was a kid. now you can’t even get to those areas at all. it’s insane

HonorableTB posted:For anyone that doesn't know what this is: the left image is the land mass of Louisiana as defined by the official maps of the state. The right image is the ACTUAL land mass of Louisiana, displaying the land still there that hasn't washed away into the Gulf of Mexico or destroyed by storms. The right image is how much of Louisiana is left on a physical level. The official maps have not been updated since 2000 to avoid panicking people and also because making more updated maps is pointless given the state is falling into the sea at the rate of 1 football field per hour, or roughly 75 kilometers of landmass per year. It's eroding too quickly to map Are they just, never going to update satellite maps or anything? Google Maps still has the whole boot shape

It’s cool that a bunch of people seem to think that preparing for things is impossible. that the only way to respond to an incoming hurricane is to do literally all of the emergency planning and execution in like two days, instead of preparing all that stuff in advance. people can’t even imagine what preparations, things that would enable something like doing a contra flow or getting some busses, would even be. if hundreds of kids died in a school fire and there weren’t fire codes I imagine Americans would loudly argue that getting hundreds or thousands of kids out of a building is just not feasible. it’s just too hard.

They are almost surely lying, the actual truth is something stupid like the police union demanded extra special overtime in disaster declarations and they don’t have the budget to pull this off on a weekend. Government officials who just give up and shrug and tell us everything is too hard rn is a hilarious new development to have to plan around

Katrina weakened to a Cat 3 by landfall, right? Ida powering up as it barrels down on the coastline seems... not ideal.
