Gustav
 

Attachment 953

The Morton computer model has
the rath of nature smiting my humble abode.

Louisiana is spared according to the Mortunsus
linear degredation cycling anamoly. The rest of
the models appear to disagree with this advanced system.

Looks like I am going to have to evacuate here by tomorrow morning :(
It's going to be a monster from the looks of it!
Took months to recover from Hurricane Rita 3 years ago..Everyone is just now getting back to "normal", and here comes another one :rolleyes:

Houston?

The sweat box of the United States...

Gustav has strengthened even sooner then expected. It is already a category 3. By the time it hits the gulf where the water temps are in the upper 80's it may strengthen even more. I hope everyone is prepared this time.

wrath

only due to anxiety during a hurricane :D

You have a large house

Here comes $6 gas.

its going to turn northeast and hit me..or not.. but if it hits n.o let the bleeding harts start...bush hates black people..with 4 days notice lets see how many dont leave....

G/L Cowgirl...and the rest of the Texans.
Yup it's going to be bad, very bad.

Things are so much better this time now that Blanco is gone and Jindal is Governor. If anyone gets left it's completely 10000% their own fault. They began assisted evacs this am, 700 buses rolling, amtrack, flight, contraflow begins tomorrow, Fema is here, Paulson is VERY GOOD, national guard deployed, Chertoff is here and Nagin is being told what to do by the State and Fed.
No matter where it hits they are much more prepared, already activated and ready to move.
We are on the bad side which will push water up the river, bayous and into the lake no matter where it lands, I'm sure the levees will fail again, but it seems almost everyone is leaving this time. No excuses this time about being poor, elderly or disabled.....the state, fed and local are doing their job this time all over the gulf coast..I think, I know for sure Louisiana and Mississippi. Hope it's the same in Texas as it is here

We'll know in about 24 more hours where it should hit, wherever it is it will be bad. We're staying put, generators ready, lots of fuel and food, worried about the tornados though.
Once again good luck to all in the gulf wherever you end up...and keep you eye on Hanna, that's following the Katrina/Rita path, back to back hurricanes possible.

Oh and Coach I think that will be 7+ for gas.....:p

Well, it has moved more eastward since 6 this morrning...Good thing for me..Bad for the cajuns..As of now I am just going to "sit tight" and make a descion tomorrow.. I hate this "back and forth" crap..Very frustrating to say the least.
Best of luck to anyone close to this thing..It really does look like she's going to kick some a$$....

Thanks for the luck Beth..Back at ya girl :)

Be Safe and Good Luck to all our Gulf coast DTers.:(

anomaly...
also.

you missed one Mrs. Crutchfield.

Oh my God...there's two Thebby's.



Listen Arletta and Franny.


Just don't do anything stupid...OK?

Seems I do that alot huh?

I think right now I am not in any danger..but will know more in the next 24..As of now I am staying and riding it out. The traffic is a mess anyhow and I sure don't want to go sit in that! :p

I guess I said something stupid.

Not that time ;)

Which time?

I'm confused.




I've been typing with FrauJones too much.

Oh ..I get it.








:mad:

:rolleyes:

And here I thought I was the "blonde" one

Kissy Kissy :{>:

People are already leaving Beaumont...

Gonna be massive traffic jams if they call for a manditory evacuation of Houston. Rita caused an evacuation disaster.

It is an absolute nightmare again...I could feel the urgency in the air a little while ago when I went to my Moms..Stores are closed and some gas stations are already out of gas :(
I am still unsure at this point because everyone is headed toward Houston and that is where I would be going..I guess if anything "good" right now is that Beaumont is not going to be hit directly like with Rita 3 yrs ago.
Oh..what to do.. what to do...:confused:

Hopefully you are not to close to the water.

Fill the tub with H2O.
Get the flashlights ready.
Can opener with canned food.

They still are not sure what will happen.
But the winds are God awful high in a very large area.
Thats not good this early.

Most likely you will be fine. If it does go more West...
Yikes.

And I thought you were a brunette...but oh well.







I guess I can do this; my wife won't be back until Monday.



kissykissykissykissy

:{>: :{>:

First Mandatory evacuation of New Orleans.

Hopefully it is organized and people leave.
Its time to move people out from land below sea-level.
For good.
Pure stupidity, they keep building on a delta.

;)

:wf

Here's some money..go buy some more junkers.


:$:

:eek:





































:(

:confused:

Mayor Nagin of New orleans:

The mayor’s warnings were considerably more dramatic than the forecasts issued by the National Hurricane Center, and he may have been trying to shock jaded residents into taking prudent steps. But he said storm surges, particularly on the city’s West Bank, could be twice as high as the neighborhood’s 10-foot levees, and said those choosing to remain in their homes should have an axe to chop through their roof when the floodwaters rise.

The storm, he said, was now 900 miles wide, compared with 400 miles for Katrina. Even the capital of Baton Rouge, 80 miles inland from New Orleans, could experience hurricane force winds of up to 100 m.p.h., he said. But Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center, said he had no idea what the mayor meant by a 900-mile footprint, saying that hurricane force winds do not extend nearly that far.



He has everything under control.
Idiot.

If that were true...Which I know its not ;)

Most of Louisiana's elected officials are :rolleyes:

We are about 20 miles inland here..But the North side of I-10 is the better place to be.. Not really worried about storm surge here..just tornados and 80+ winds...Going to lose power for sure..Just hope not for 6 weeks like last time.. I need my daily D.T fix :D

You may get lots of rain.
They having it sitting on you guys after landfall.
Good luck, stay safe.

Thanks..still sitting here waiting and wondering what the damn thing is going to do.. The traffic is finally starting to ease some compared to yesterday at least...I think by this evening or first thing in th a.m, I will make a dash to Houston if I go.

Thanks for the good wishes and I'll keep whoever gives a sh!t posted :p
