Talk about hyping a hurricane up. About the worst you’ll get out of this is the storm surge. 75 MPH winds are 10 MPH less that your average 85 MPH cat “C” roof wind loads. Derp.

Gus did you click on the link I posted above

Is not the wind, it is the water and we are talking about South LA here, not NOLA
Nobody is making a comparison of the widespread damage/loss of life as Katrina.
But for some areas in South LA it is as bad with flooding.
