This is certainly not good news for those Katrina refugees housed in Houston....or anyone for that matter.

If this for some reason stears north and hits NOLA, I think God is telling us something. And I'm not religious.

Please spare Key West. Please spare Key West. Please spare Key West . . .

I've been waiting here long enough... another delay is not what I need...

Nagin suspends New Orleans re-entry due to new storm

 

[NavyOCS]

Of course I leave for TBS and another wave producing storm enters the Gulf. Geese...

 

[jamnww]

I was just thinking that if Rita steers a little east of its current projected coarse and hits just WEST of N.O. then maybe we shouldn't rebuild...

Oh yeah, and I just heard that the leeves in N.O. are still so fragile that they will only survive less than a 6' storm surge...he11 they had more than that in the Bahamas when it moved through...

Maybe we'll get double use out of these masterful animations.

No sh!t Rita is "on the prowl" ... my ex-wife, a.k.a. Rita née the "DARK SIDE" is ALWAYS on the prowl .... for more $$$$$, that is ..... . :icon_woma

Damnit! A4s owes me a beer! Damn post making me spray mine out my nostrils...

 

[gregsivers]

Yeah looks like I left Corpus just in time. And A-4's post is f-ing hilarious.

Navy Region South just ordered the evacuation for NASCC, K-ville, and NS Ingleside. All the counties north of Nueces (Corpus Christi) already have maditory evacuations. Not sure what the city is waiting for, but the wife and I are headed to Dallas. (we have family there) No hotels south of Austin are avalible.

I'm sure most of you know this already but it's now a Cat 5 hurricane with a predicted landfall on Friday evening between Galveston and Houston. Forecasters predict it will degrade to Cat 4 status before then...

 

[Jolly Roger]

Yep, I am getting ready to put my rudder to it and creep out of town. Hopefully, this late not many people have the same idea as I do and traffic won't be as bad as it was earlier.
