David Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana for a century, storm surges predicted to be over 15ft. Scary times over there right now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It's weakened to Cat 3 almost as soon as it hit, as they do - and is expected to weaken further as it moves inland. Hopefully it does so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I see the next UK hurricane will be Hurricane Gerda. Fingers crossed for the next one, could be Hurricane Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 We were camping in Torquay two days ago, and our tent got destroyed in the wind. A kind Samaritan let us all sleep in their caravan living room for our last night. I wonder if trump will rise to the occasion and swoop in to save Louisiana (like he has with California).

David Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 I guess, but if people avoided all the areas extreme weather hit it would cause over population in over areas. Makes you think though we’re kinda lucky here, we moan about the weather as it’s the British thing todo, and whilst we do get hit with floodings it’s nothing on this level where communities are wiped out. 2020 has been a brutal year for America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
