...IMO She should have left way earlier without looking back.
Easy for me to say as i am not in her shoes and i have not depended on the gulf for my whole life.
But looking a this video, i felt really sad for her and the many others down there. :boohoo
She looks like a future candidate for suicide . Either self inflicted or "helped by others"

How many others just like her ?

Perceptive observations Goldgonewild. I watched it in High Definition by clicking on the Youtube link and you can almost smell her fear/disbelief. I imagine refugees worldwide finally reach that "let's hit the road" realization and she is close to that point.

After seeing the rains hitting us from Hurricane Alex, I can imagined them carrying oil and chemicals.

We are going to see the repercussions from this disaster for a long time...I personally think this will be a turning point. It will be a reference point in history, before and after...like 9/11.

People in this forum are hooking each other up with housing and help as they flee the Gulf. Very interesting posts some of these people are making. Read their comments and offers of free housing.

Very perceptive Gold. Watching her I saw glimpses of myself, that's kinda friggin' wacked. I know 5 other people here of this mindset and everyday the concern and tension mount, it's visible as hell, especially now that it's been pointed out. I'd say that there's A LOT more like her than we think.

Right now she's smack dab in the middle of it and it's bearing down hard that she HAS to leave. I'm thankful I have a little more time but I know our days are numbered too. I think in ways I'll be glad when it's said and done with, turn the page, new chapter. There sure as hell ain't no fightin' it and bitchin' is a waste of time.

Book, realization is a perfect word, when its time its time and that's just the reality of it all.

Book, the same thing has been going on here at GSUS but behind the scenes. I just wanted to give out credit where credit is due and I think it's really cool that folks are helpin' each other. +K!

Making the realization that you are at a turning point in your life
Acting upon it by suddenly leaving everything you hold dear by moving away for an UNCERTAIN FUTURE .
Swallowing the "red pill" and coming to term that what has been seen can not be unseen.
I will pass the extreme emotions swing, the distress, feeling helpless...

When combined together, you're in for a traumatic experience that leaves deep scars.

I would not necessarily make all refugees on an equal footing. In some countries, a lot of people live in despairs and abject poverty, they have done so for most of their lives ( think Haiti ). they somehow seem to adapt to it, it is all they know. By contrast, a lot of the Gulf coast resident lived "the American dream" the house, new car, big mortgage, a shiny boat, great weather, great beaches. They now lose their jobs, their houses and cars will follow the losses of job and subsistence , the shiny boat is of no use, the weather they now fear, the great beaches that once were and so on, health issues and financial hardship will soon follow. The contrast between the before and after is on a magnitude that seems to be bigger than what i have seen in the past. the contrast i am trying to describe here is still foggy as it is impossible to get a clear picture without seeing the complete extent of the disaster as it is still in progress.

To live your whole life in poverty is hard but imagine living the "dream " and losing everything ( except the mortgage of course...), being attacked on all front (financially, physically, psychologically, environmentally) to possibly lose it all, even your sanity.


Going to make it hard,very hard for people but in this situation its basically going to be a fleeing for your lives option.

Pay attention to the wind patterns; this is a good predictor of who is going to be wearing the gas mask.

Looks like a tropical depression is forming directly over the area, as we speak,,


Invest 95

This area of disturbed weather has the potential for tropical development

as bad as it is, this oil disaster is not going to create a tsunami, unless they try to use nukes to stop it, and even then, i don't think there is any previous history of nukes creating tidal waves.

the oil, the dispersant, and the hurricanes to spread them all around, will do quite enough damage on their own. it's a Yucatan-meteor type die-off event - already quite a worst case scenario - without the mysterious tidal wave she's presenting as a worst case.

it's possible that using the Russian solution (nuclear bomb sealing the well, which worked more than once for the Russians) would precipitate some fault movement, and an earthquake - and then a tsunami - and that may explain the inertness of Obama while he basically does nothing.

Talks about the need for repirators, BP coverup of this and the wildlife damage.

I just looked at this, if any hurricane was to roll thru the gulf right now, the winds are blowing right thru the farm belt.

Storm with strong winds nears Louisiana coast
System could become second Atlantic tropical storm of 2010


MIAMI — A storm packing winds up to 45 mph in the Gulf of Mexico is likely to strengthen into a tropical storm before it tears into coastal Louisiana Monday evening, the National Hurricane Center said.

"Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph (are) possible over the affected area through this evening," the center said in an advisory. "These storms could produce rainfall amounts of one to three inches in a short period of time."

It said the storm, centered Monday afternoon about 50 miles south-southeast of Morgan City, Louisiana, was already packing sustained winds near tropical storm force. The BP well capping operations are located off the Louisiana coast.

There was a "high chance" the system will become the second named storm of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season before it makes landfall in the Terrebonne Parish area near Caillou Bay early Monday evening, the Miami-based hurricane center said.

The storm comes at a time that most of the offshore skimming operations in the Gulf have been halted by choppy seas and high winds.

Last week, the faraway Hurricane Alex idled the skimming fleet off Alabama, Florida and Mississippi with choppy seas and stiff winds. Now they're stymied by a succession of smaller storms that could last well into this week.

Officials have plans for the worst-case scenario: a hurricane barreling up the Gulf toward the spill site. But the less-dramatic weather conditions have been met with a more makeshift response.

Skimming operations across the Gulf have scooped up about 23.5 million gallons of oil-fouled water so far, but officials say it's impossible to know how much crude could have been skimmed in good weather because of the fluctuating number of vessels and other variables.

The storms have not affected drilling work on a relief well that BP says is the best chance for finally plugging the leak. The company expects drilling to be finished by mid-August.

Second system in Gulf
A separate system was also being watched closely. An area in the southeastern Gulf could strengthen into a tropical depression later this week, potentially hampering oil spill cleanup

I wonder how home sales are doing along the gulf coast??

I wonder if people have made up in there minds to stop paying and using that money to prep???

Man that is some hard descions to be making.

You said a mouthful there T!

IDK WTF I'm doing?? Sometimes I have it figured out and then I doubt my last decision, it's a back and forth cluster fvck. This crap has affected my everyday life in every facet, it's really drivin' me friggin' nuts. It has cost me a friend and very possibly a good woman in the process, I'm simply not thinking clearly and I see no way to do so at this time.
