God Hates The Gulf Coast....The Official Hurricane Rita Thread
 

You just know there's gonna be 6 threads on this, so I might as well start this so I can merge all of them.

|buddy| would NEVER be this cruel.

Look at this fucker making it way between Florida & Cuba, almost like it's trying to miss them & stay over water in order to pick up a little more steam so that it can pound Houston...yes Houston.

Fuck |hurricane give me |snowman2

I'm guessing that the refugees are hurricane magnets.

And to make it all worse, that bitch Rita still owes me $20 for a map of the Gulf region. |devil|

Seems hurricanes are taking different routes than in the past. They don't usually hit New Orleans and surely not Texas do they? Weird.

Or maybe Rita is chasing the New Orleans folks to Texas? Things that make you go hmmm....

Yeah, Texas gets nailed pretty often, until Katrina, I think the most costly was one that leveled Galveston a long time ago.

But the 3 degree warmer then average water in the gulf is really fueling these things, luckily there’s no such thing as global warming, so these hurricanes don’t get bigger and bigger.

Personally, I think it's El Nino.

with any luck it will skip houston and hit Crawford HEAD on.. see how fast the food gets dropped then.

As a sailor, I have a habit of keeping an eye on the weather. One of my favourite sites is the National Hurricane Center - Tropical Prediction Center at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml

Amazing imagery and you can spend hours looking at everything.

Maybe a higher power is trying to hit Crawford. I would be pissed if someone kept using my name to start wars, ignore people in need and steal from all those that trust.

So what category are they saying it will be when it hits land?

2-3 at least

God hates trailer parks too. :)

No, God REALLY hates trailer parks.

Just his attempt to clean up the gene pool.

I live in a Houston suburb (about 45 min. away from Galveston where the hurricane is predicted to hit) and I can tell you, there's a bit of a panic going on with people trying to buy water, batteries, can foods, etc. I'm not looking forward to this hurricane at all! :(

Don't worry, Dubya may actually cancel fund raisers to save the lives of Texans.

personal i think mother nature is fucked up, snow at countries who never have snow, cold where it shoud be warm and visa versa(did i say that right?) its proofen one thing human kind cant controle is the weather and its sucks huge lately:(

HA!

nah that's because GWB spoke directly to God and told him there was no Global warming..

Mother Earth is now PISSED that she wasn't consulted first.

hahahaha you rock docholly :D

Some religious nut was on TV last night saying that the world will end in 2012.

I can't believe that he is crazy enough to think we all have the long.

Personally I'm getting myself some new sneakers and hopping on the next comet out of here.

I will trade ya 4 d batterys for some banner work

I know for a fact she's pissed cuz it's RAINING in Vegas.. |cool| |cool|

well i can tell the same because its to fucking cold for summer here in holland...i have the heater on now......nice summer....NOT

ah i thought the world would end in 2036 who cares then me .....ahummm 21 years old of age......i wonder why they keep saying that bullshit talk.....oh ofcourse for raising money.well thats the deal here in holland....still why raising money if all will die....... oh ofcourse to live on the moon or something like that:D

bad bad tommy :D

I have a grand unified theory of global warming and such.

Basically, nature is attempting to get more water down to grow more plants to absorb more CO2 to make more oxygen to re-establish the balance on the planet. When that happens, the storms will slow down and things will return to normal.

Until that happens, get use to it.

LOL! As a matter of fact, I spent two hours this morning going from store to store looking for D batteries! Did I also mention I'm 9 months pregnant and NOT looking forward to this hurricane?!

really my wife is due with twins any day now

Nice, local news just said it's now expected to be a Cat 4 by Wednesday night.

South of Houston is the target so far.

Thanks and good luck to you and your wife also.

Twins!? I don't think I could handle that -all though, this will be my 4th baby so....

I have two of these. They take 8 D batteries and run up to 24 hours. Plenty of light and really great for reading by.

Greeny those things are like 7 k

Cleo what i really like about it is if your without power for a long time
you can rechare it from the car and you never have to worry about buying batteries

ladydesigner I will raise my price to 5 d batterys and a bag of ice :-)

Mine was $4K - and if you had it 2 years ago when all out power was off for hours & hours, you'd have been the only asshole on the block watching DVD's :D

Yeah that is what I would like to get next. Besides being expensive they go through something like 4 gallons of propane a hour so I would need to put in a really huge tank since it would be doubtful that I could get it refilled very soon after a hurricane.

My 5500 watt gas generator goes through about 5 gallons of gasoline every 12 hours and last storm I had a had time even finding more gas after 4 days. I did get more fuel this time and now I'm keeping 50 gallons of gas supply. This works real well but isn't enough to run my central A/C.

Tommy that is a nice feature now that you put it that way.

Cloe - don't you have natural gas coming into the house?

We don't have gas pipes where I live, just electric, water and sewerage.

I really would have liked to put a gas stove in when I remolded but it just got too expensive and too much hassle having propane storage and all that.

On the plus side we don't have septic tanks.
