Oh crap.

Last time i saw the news she was a Cat 2

And she was headed for Galveston Texas

But damn. I hope N.O. doesn't get slammed

 

[Small_Fryz]

its cat 2 now, but once in gulf expected to rev up to a cat 4 or even cat 5

 

[Andrew R]

NO just can't catch a break here.


Sounds bad. Very bad.

Another $3.00 gas jump.

Soon America will be paying $4 or $5 a gallon for gas.

Go away you damned hurricanes!

$3.009, try $3.509. It jumped to $3.509 for reg. unleaded when the hurricane hit New Orleans. Too bad Wisconsin has the highest gasoline tax in the nation. It dropped a lot today. Now gas is $2.699 a gallon for reg. unleaded.

Our state government is trying to remove the state law that requires gas station owner to mark up their gas at least 20% so we don't have to pay so much. It isn't going very well, so it will probably stay a law.

Our gas prices will continue to rise. These hurricanes are just excuses. 9 of the 11 oil refineries in the New Orleans areas are operating again.

It's appearently going to hit Houston....

 

[EvilToast]

so much for te rise of new orleans.

Mother Nature seems to have a grudge on someone who moved from the superdome to the astrodome.

 

[ND4SPD]

My god...That sucks. Hope this one is weaker.

George Bush doesn't care about black people.







Kanye West is on my list of people who should stop talking.

 

[EvilToast]

lmao that was stupid what he said specially now that a 2nd hurricane is about to own NO. lol bush must have pissed off some greek gods or something.

 

[Ram-Rod]

Dude, im dead in the center of this hurricans path. Right now, i'd forget about Nawlins, and worry about the Houston - Galveston - Courpos Christy area. My home is dead center of the projected path. And I ant leaving.

 

[Small_Fryz]

you better leave

Its not worth the risk, but hey if you want to die than go right ahead and stay.

 

[Ram-Rod]

Hear me right, im not tring to get the GTP top headline and stay like Kent did (not saying he new the attention he would be getting he wanted to get) but IAM staying, I AM NOT leaving and I AM NOT LEAVING THE CITY I WAS BORN IN.

 

[Omnis]

If it hits cat 5, you'd better leave.

I went through andrew and a bunch of other canes. Trust me.

 

[Ram-Rod]

Nah, i still would'nt, im loyal to Houston.

 

[VenomFX220]

Depending on the situation, I might leave, but at the moment I'm staying put "come hell or high water".

 

[Ram-Rod]

👍 , Im guess you surpport me 👍 . Also this, said by me, on monday, "Ill only CONSIER getting in my car if i decied its hell on water."

 

[Omnis]

Your car won't function in high water.

If you decide to stay, then prepare...and don't be a moron. I can't believe it when I see imbecile parents and their kids frolicking through the standing water.

 

[Ram-Rod]

Ill tell ya, I am at least prepared. The only real work needed to be done is boarding up and other stuff in that category.

 

[Small_Fryz]

i love your loyalty mate, but you are a bit stubborn. Its not worth fighting mother nature. you will lose.

but if you want to stay and risk dieing then so be it. After having 6 open heart surgeories id never gamble my life like you are planning to do.

 

[Omnis]

well, it's a good thing you're not below sea level. Haha.

Be prepared for tons of tornados (the keys got a lot of them) and at least 3 feet of flood water in your house.

Wow, sorry to hear that, Smalls. But you're right. There's no sense arguing with him, though.

 

[FoolKiller]

On a good note, Galveston is prepared much better than NO. I saw a video of buses lined up and ready with bus drivers at a moments notice. They are also allowing people to take their pets so as to avoid them staying behind for Fluffy.

There may be a lot of damage but the death toll will most likely be much lower here because they have a fully working and implemented evacuation plan.




Hey Small_Fryz, you've had six? I thought my two were big.

 

[Lee]

Eeeeek not another.. jesus.

I can only imagine what going through a hurricane is like, Ram Rod if you don't mind me saying, its your decition but the smart money is moving out of its path, especially after what Katrina done with New Orleans.

If you decide to stay i wish you good luck.
