Katrina is hitting south Fl

My cuz just called me from there she is in south beach...she said its pretty bad.

Thanks

Does this mean that the rest of the country gets to pay increased insurance premiums so that the residents of south Florida can rebuild in a KNOWN HURRICANE ZONE for the 847th time within the past 10 years alone?????????

 

40 minutes ago it was dam scarey, lights are flickering but still on

I can usually see for dozens of miles from here. Now I can barely see the ground.

Its scarey, I imagine the guys out there in the Coast Guard, must be in for quite a ride

Sorry to hear --2 dead

 

Good thinking, Dude if what I saw last night was a Cat 1 I want no part of a Cat 5

Last night in the middle of the Hurricane I opened my sliding door to my terrace to close the last little bit of the Hurricane blinds & I could feel the suction of the storm, I was worried 1 of my cats might get sucked out so I shut it quick & put a big azz vise on it so it wouldnt open

Last night was basically like looking into a cold wet windy HELLL, no kidding

Some scientist was saying they should stop calling the Cat 1 a minor Hurricane because theres no such thing

Heres my idea for renaming Hurricane categories

Cat 1- Really Bad Hurricane

Cat 2- Really Really Bad Hurricane

Cat 3- Hiroshima

Cat 4- Nagasaki

Cat 5- Run for your freaking life

 

Actually, insurance premiums are levelled out across the states because of natural disasters like this. Even in El Paso, Texas, far away from such a beached disaster, pays up a premium for just being within so much reach of the hurricaine to level out the costs to a reasonable amount.

 

Man, these guys REALLY don't have much of a way to predict the paths of these monsters. Just the other day it looked like it was going up the Eastern seaboard. But NO! Wrong!

Let's see if us in New Orleans can dodge yet another bullet. Especially because it might become a Cat 4. I hate this crap every year...although I didn't hate it when I 'evacuated' to Vegas just a month after turning 21 a few years ago

Well, I got back from Costa Rica today and found my neighborhood TOTALLY FUC KED UP!

I'm pissed!

 

Cat 5 this AM! How'd that happen? Anybody in NO?

 

Man! Fox News is the best. From behind, they have been honing in for the last twenty minutes (off and on) on a tall, leggy blond with huge tits loading a flat bed truck.

 

brb...i need to go see this!

 

The HYW management in 'Nawlins is insane! I'm watching stopped traffic with three cars avery 30 seconds coming the other way! Why don't they open the other side of the HWY to the same exit direction? There is some seriously poor planning in this city!

 

LOL. This is the improved plan because there were big problems with traffic last time.

 

Are you still there? Why?

 

Be careful Louisana guys, this is gonna be a big one. DOnt try and be a hero, just get out of dodge.

 

I'm not in the city. I'm pretty far north of the lake.

 

Its goin to be hitting near my house in a couple of hours. We evacuated to Georgia. My prayers go out to everyone.

 

10:25PM PST: I just heard that 'Nawlins told all their EMT people to get their butts in a shelter. I guess there will be no hero's on the street during the storm.

 

Anyone on the street will simply perish. No questions asked.

Initially evacuated to Mississippi last night to watch where this was headed. Today evacuated to Ft. Worth, TX
