Expected to hit Saturday

And headed strait for Houston

   

Shit.

   

At this rate, they're going to run out of names for the year.

   

Not again!

   

She's going to be big.... that name carries a lot of weight (pun intended)

   

Between her and the hurricane, I'll take the hurricane.

   

We pay close attention to these things down here

I would hope so. In which part of Florida do you lve Toro? The Panhandle or the wang?

   

In the panhandle.

   

Good to know. I hope people in the Keys got out in time.

   

Seems to be okay. Key West was spared a direct hit. Some water was over Hwy 1 though. There have been times where much of the Keys have been completely underwater. Key West is only 5 feet above sea level at its highest point.

   

Thank you.

Looks like Jova will be a near miss

   

Just a thought.. those who were evacuated from New Orleans (a good portion of them) and the surrounding areas were placed in Texas..

now wtf.. they are really lucky.. fate finds you it seems to me..

Hurricane Rita turned into a beast and it's heading right into Texas, again, leave or you're on your own.

Yeah sure, Texas doesn't have the same conditions as New Orleans, it isn't as likely to flood as bad as New Orleans but the winds are quite strong..

Any thoughts?

   

Katrina's highest wind speeds were 285 km/h

Rita's are right now at 265km/h and it might keep growing.

   

This is a poll i found on CNN's site.. quite deceiving..



If you were living in the projected path of Hurricane Rita, would you evacuate?

Yes 90% 128371 votes
No 10% 14742 votes

Total: 143113 votes

So 10% of the people would not evacuate.. what is wrong with their minds!? I know that they may have some stuff for which they have worked all their lives but what is better.. loosing it or loosing the entire life you dedicated to earning the money and the effort to buy/build that stuff...
