MikeAI, don't go to NO

ViVa La Panama......


Glad to hear everyone from here is safe, I hope all goes well.

Just went to CNN. This below sounds like someone writing a Hollywood disaster flic and went ridculously overboard to the unbelievable! It's not though. This is real stuff, sadly.


Some 25 feet of standing water is expected in many parts of the city -- almost twice the height of the average home -- and computer models suggest that more than 80 percent of buildings would be badly damaged or destroyed, he said.

Floodwaters from the east will carry toxic waste from the "Industrial Canal" area, nicknamed after the chemical plants there. From the west, floodwaters would flow through the Norco Destrehan Industrial Complex, which includes refineries and chemical plants, said van Heerden, who has studied computer models about the impact of a strong hurricane for four years.

"These chemical plants are going to start flying apart, just as the other buildings do," he predicted. "So, we have the potential for release of benzene, hydrochloric acid, chlorine and so on."

In New Orleans, which lies below sea level, gas and diesel tanks are all located above ground for the same reason that bodies are buried above ground. In the event of a flood, "those tanks will start to float, shear their couplings, and we'll have the release of these rather volatile compounds," van Heerden added.

Because gasoline floats on water, "we could end up with some pretty severe and large -- area-wise -- fires."

"So, we're looking at a bowl full of highly contaminated water with contaminated air flowing around and, literally, very few places for anybody to go where they'll be safe."

He went further.

"So, imagine you're the poor person who decides not to evacuate: Your house will disintegrate around you. The best you'll be able to do is hang on to a light pole, and while you're hanging on, the fire ants from all the mounds -- of which there is two per yard on average -- will clamber up that same pole. And, eventually, the fire ants will win."

Wow! Looks a lot better than it could have been though. Any word from Billy and how his house managed? How about your cars?

[Mike AI]

Have not heard from Billy.

I have no idea about any of our property/cars.

Entergy claims all power is out, and may take 30-45 days to get power back up.

Yeah, I was looking at what it did to Biloxi My son was there in tech school when Ivan went through and they thought there was going to be a direct hit until the last minute. Mother Nature can be quite surprising! Glad everyone's OK in NOLA.

First floor of the Beau Rivage is flooded. No idea how the casino barges faired, but they should've just broken loose and floated as needed.

The FFN's are sad at the thought of what probably happened to the buffet.

[grimm]

there is a lot of repair work to be done. no way back in for a while. argh, this sucks. and it could have been WORSE

[Sharpie]

So what about all the hype & pics that Fox news is airing? Is this just a section of the city, or most of it? They are talking about it being inhabitable now that new water is flowing in. No business, food, or services, etc

Are you on higher ground that was spared & that continues to function? .

Some governement guy (sorry, dont remember exactly, was a senator or mayor or something) said "This is our tsunami"

I mean, fuck, its a big tragedy for the south and everything, but he has got to be kidding. Get your head out of your ass...

Yup the ole head in the ass is big in the southern states ( hence why they all voted for bush)

yes, I agree this is a tragedy, but 65 dead hardly compars to the tsunami death toll.

although before anybody gets their panties in a wad, i do not think any death is acceptable without it being considered a tradgedy .

[Nickatilynx]

Another Senator compared 9/11 to the blitz.

It was a disaster and a tradegy but it wasn't happening every night for a couple of years

[Nickatilynx]

I believe the average death toll in Iraq is around 40 per day...

joesho, put your useless ass to bed. and put your useless partners who bare all expense to bed. you are tied, you are talkng old shit, and you have no idea of what it is like to go through a hurricane and flood. as far as this goes, you can go fcuk yourself. eat shit, do not use the catastrophe in the SE to promote your business.. this would make you the lowest of the low.. a hurricane of this magnatude hits panama and it is GONE GONE GONE. so shove it up your ass.. you should be praying for the people, not harking your chump ass shit in the face of it. be shamed!

[Nickatilynx]

Holy shit , I'm watching the extent of the damage on CNN for the first time today.

OMG!!

1 m homeless.

Vast areas of NO destroyed.

This really is tragic

My sincerest best wishes to those with friends and family there.

IO wonder how many decided to ride it out because of the media hype that has surrounded the last 20 storms?

The TV station that cried wolf?

Ok here we go.....

1 i have been through 5 huricanes
David Puerto Rico
Federico Puerto Rico
Hugo Puerto Rico
Andrew Miami
Georges Puerto Rico
And i can tell you this. blame it on poor consturction. houses in USA are not made for hurricanes and builders have fucked a lot of people up the ass just like what happened in miami. All hurricanes i went through in P.R. never hurt my dad's house (yes i was still not married and young) Andrew we were lucky we were facing south otherwise our appartment in Kendal would have died.

Storm serge there is no way to beat that. Just talking about winds

2. Panama can not get hit by hurricanes because of its position but yes if a hurrricane came through we would be fucked cause they build just as shitty as USA.

3. No we dont want to promote our biz don't know where you got that from. I was the one that commented that things are not what you see on TV (USA TV) they always portray anything outside USA as a jungle and trust me I was wrong when I got here. This is way beyond the fact. I feel sorry for NO and Missippi and Alabama I have been to all those states.

4. the comment is just because you see it on TV and have not visited doesn't mean the place is a shithole.

AGAIN my heart and best wishes goes to everyone. I know what a hurricane is and trust me a lot of the casualties are caused by missinformation and not believing it will come through.

anyone that went through andrew and saw this storm will tell you.
get the fuck out and stay safe then come back and look at damages.

anyways

cya

[Mike AI]

I am dissappointed in Joesho and Inabon.

Funny Oprano was down the other day and it is hosted in Panama.

Directnic has not gone down even through a national crisis.

Bottom feeders who are trying to get businss by scaring people about DirectNIC and ZIPA are nothing but scum!

We are not going anywhere - and I promise you we have long memories - for both those who worked against us, and for friends who SUPPORT us!

ermn were did the idea of us promoting biz come from? dont get it.

anyways yeah good thing you guys were up. thats top notch.

we had fiber (ask technick he saw the pics LOL) cut just as bad i guess we still have to work that. but all good

again best of luck the idea here was not promote was point out the fact that not everything is a jungle.


take care mike.

[sharky]

Inabon,

This is not a time to start the US bashing shit saying Panama is better and can't get hit with a hurricane.
I too was surprised by yours and Joes comments.

[Nickatilynx]

I don't think thats what they were doing.

I know both the guys and they aren't like that at all.

For a start they are borh Americans..

MikeAi
Yeah that's why I like the Uinted States, its not some third world shithole!



but anyways it is getting old the important thing here is recovery.

been through andrew and whoever went through andrew knows recovery is the important thing.

take care shark.

[JoesHO]

Mike what the hell are you talking about? we NEVER mentioned any business YOU said panama was a shithole, and we laughed

in fact I just sent 28 domains to YOUR company directnic to be registered.

you were the ONLY ONE to bash anything here

remember whatever you want I dont give a fuck , but if you sling shit then dont cry when someone else says something you dont like

We are and have been praying for peopl in the tradgedy Grimm.

I am not interested in pissing with you , or Mike we did not say anything about our business, or yours . we are not and have not tried in anyway to gain business by this tradgedy in fact we announced long ago we are not even accepting any NEW adult hosting busines. the margins are too thin and we have bigger fish to fry with other projects.

we wish you well, and if there is ANYTHING we could do to help all you need to do is say the word.

in fact as i said before we just registered a few domains there last week.
and if you remember correctly my useless ass was telling people to look at zipa for hosting a few weeks ago, when we announced that we are not taking any new adult hosting.

we can argue about livabilty in Pnama or my history with storms and who bares what another day if you want to.

But for now we wish all of you well, and DO understand your plight at the moment. so I will say it again, IF THERE IS ANYTHING we can do to help any of you please let us know . on a personal level or business level it does not matter.
