Well.. its looking like we might get nailed with this one. Looks like shes going to go straight thru Houston and then straight north. This Hurricane takes up the whole freakin map on the weather channel.

A monster.

Now shes fluctuating between a catagory 4 and 5. When they showed her projected path it went STRAIGHT into Shreveport. Fortunately for us, by the time she gets here she should only be a cat 1 or 2. All of the evacuees that were in Houston have now been moved to Arkansas. They arent even coming here because well still be in the strong part of the storm path.

Oh well..

On a funnier note, did anyone notice the hillarious Louis Farrakhan *sp* state that "The Federal Government purposely flooded New Orleans in order to kill the black community"

Fecking Brilliant..

Bush does have a hotline to God though - he could easily organise a hurricane.

Gotta love Farrakhan. I used to get the Nation's paper from students at Winston State when I lived in North Carolina.

The articles went like this:

"Black People need their own country! No whites allowed!"

"White men try to keep us down!"

"What the f*** is up with Michael Jackson?"

If you look at the map on that page... I'm about on the grid line just west of the first letter D on the graph if you follow the line in from the gulf.

We picked up water and batteries yesterday so we should be dandy.

Bloody hell guys!

I'll be thinking of you chaps, hope it all works out ok for you.

wound up not being so bad. Only one death due to a tornado. I know thats still one too many.. but ALOT less than Katrina. We lucked out and got the "best case scenario" here in the "Port City". Rita was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it got here. Knocked the power out at work. My bastard of a KM told me "Yeah were gonna be open come on in." So I drove in the high winds to find the power was off. Spent 3 hours icing everything down in the walk in cooler.

Oh yeah. Im now OFFICIALLY back online. Got my shiny new cable modem today.

Happy days Rib!

Celebrate it with throwing a barbeque, and then invite us symbolically. We want details on the tasty stuff. Mmm, spicy sauce.

That may be quoteworthy...

Glad to hear you're okay.

Is your city still full with refugees, or can they return to New Orleans now? The media coverage sort of stopped, and I have no idea what the situation is at the moment.
