I would think that the 'old city' around Le Quartier Français will remain unscathed as it has done for a a couple of centuries, as it was built when people were more careful about floods and tides. However, the rest of the urban sprawl built in the same way as a lot of New York and New Jersey without regard to natural forces, is likely to be underwater again. Heavy storm rains draining into Pontchartrain from the North could easily be a threat as well. One thing that many people outside of LA probably don't understand is that if $14.5 billion was budgeted for flood protection, all New Orleans got was a rubber ducky to play with when it floods. The corruption runs deep. This is the land of Edwin Edwards and William 'Cold Cash' Jefferson. That money is in in the pockets of corrupt democrats from Louisiana to Washington D.C. You can bet that when another storm strikes, well funded Dems will be screaming climate change from the rooftops of their high and dry posh mansions. The media will eat it up.

Just thought I would make a quick post to bring this back to the top... Has anyone heard from Kevin at all on why he removed the link? I did not see a post from him on this...

Missouriboy,
Do you think that the "Englishmen" responsible for allowing the new "Normans" to establish a beachhead are self aware enough to understand what is in store for them down the road? Me neither. They will keep bleating about Globul Warming to the end. The worst part is that they think they will be in charge in the end, not first in line for a "haircut", you know, just a little off the top.

In a nation where everyone appears to be armed things could turn very nasty very quickly? As ever it will be the armed forces that sort things out but is that how the U.S. wishes to be viewed on the world stage? He's off to seek absolution from the pope and then retire to Scotland 'till it all blows over ( if Assange can do it he can!) Yea... No. Yes, it is true that almost every one Right of center is armed. I don't have any statistics on this, just personal experience. In my experience every single adult (Male AND Female) that is family or friend owns a firearm. Yes things could get nasty, but I doubt it will happen in the way you envision. In my immediate family there is over 60 years of combined active duty time. Army, Navy, Air Force. (No Marines interestingly.) None of us would ever follow an order to suppress American Citizens. This is not the purpose of the Armed Forces. There is a law on the books... The Posse Comitatus Act. Look it up. If it ever comes down to it, IHMO most of the folks that the government would like to suppress are IN the military, so good luck with that. Anyway, again in my opinion, what is more likely to happen is that the 90+% liberal inner city folk will riot, and loot, and burn... and generally pee in the yard, very few of the rest of us will take notice, except to make sure that we avoid the inner city. Yes it will look bad on the news, but IMHO the people doing this have never contributed to the nation, and are in fact parasites. I just don't see the "unrest" moving out of areas under Democrat control. There are too many logistical and territorial reasons for this. I do wonder what will happen when the people trapped in the city manage to destroy enough infrastructure that survival becomes difficult. You can't use your EBT card at the grocery store you looted and burned the night before.

The thing is, there has not been a crime. There are no victims. There is no there, there.
On the other hand...
The evidence of collusion is Between CNN and the Clinton campaign is incontrovertible. (Donna Brazile) The Clinton family foundation received millions of dollars in bribes from foreign governments. Most notably Russia. Hilary Clinton set up a private email server to conduct government business. Each classified email that passed through the server is a felony. She and the aids that enabled her are guilty of thousands of individual acts that directly violate federal code. Publicly available information proves this beyond any possible reasonable doubt.
What has the mainstream media and democrats had to say about this?

Ice conditions on the Tanana River as of April 28th, 2017 are as follows:
Due to conditions of the ice on the Tanana River (where the Tripod is located) the last ice measurement was taken on April 24th, 2017 when the ice was 29.7 inches thick.
The Clock is being hooked up today, and we will have watchman keeping an eye on the ice 24 hours a day going forward until the Tanana River breaks up and the Tripod moves!
The main channel of the Nenana River has opened up and is cutting a channel from the mouth of the Nenana River into the Tanana River's south bank about 1/4 mile down stream from the Tripod. That Channel is now open 3 to 4 miles along the south bank of the Tanana River. About one mile up river from the Tripod on the Tanana River, there is a main channel of open water along the south bank, ending about 1/2 of a mile up river from the Tripod. The weather forecast for the next 8 days is calling for mid 50's in the daytime with 32 to 37 degrees in the evening. With the afternoon's warm up there is standing (surface) water on the banks of the river.There are also visible dark spots on the ice, indicating the ice is rotting. Some of these dark spots show surface water as well. It is possible that the Tanana River ice could move out within the next 3 to 5 days.
Good Luck to you all!
We will update this page Daily until the Tanana River Ice breaks up.

Yes, I think Friday the 5th has a real good chance, warm with rain forecast in the area(Thurs 4 May). This means lots of runoff. I doubt it will go before then...

Sorry Sig,
Been busy... If it is not too terribly late I would like to get down on this.
Since it is the hottest year evah! I would like to go with something a little later, seeing as how everyone knows that there is more ice when it is hotter.

As the solar minimum approaches, I hope Kevin puts the spotless day count back up on the main page. It was handy last time. (Hint :-))
If I recall correctly, Leif has not put out an official Max SSN number prediction/projection for cycle 25, but he has stated that the polar field strength has sufficient strength for a moderate cycle. I checked his site, but I didn't see a reference, so I could be mistaken. On the other hand, if memory serves... It seems that most cycles in the past have tended to trail off gradually as they come to a close. Cycle 24 seems like it might be tailing off faster then what we have seen in the past, but only time will tell. The current bout of spotless days could just be a wiggle.
