Hurricane Rita

Featured Replies

Well as you all know ( I hope ) Hurricane Rita is making it's way for Texas, and coincidentaly that is where I live, on an island to make matters worse, and should I be scared. Well yeah, just a bit I am, but I'm evacuating off to the inland. Here's a great picture for your viewing pleasure. :)

No that's what people get for moving into empty land hundreds of years ago. You know it was probably empty for a reason. :P

Notoriously Trollish.

Lovely Rita, meter maid...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, from what I've heard, Houston should be fine since it wasn't built underwater. Galvaston, on the other hand...

Things are sick and twisted from too much sun and Nazis.

Sex, meth, and death fetishes, both of them have got these.

When it gets dark I tow your heart away

When I caught a glimpse of Rita

 

 

 

Filling in a ticket in her little white book

 

 

 

In a cap she looked much older

 

 

 

And the bag across her shoulder

 

 

 

Made her look a little like a military man

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish you all good luck, hope it doesn't get too bad this time. :?

Rita is now a category 4 and nothing to sneeze at. I live in Texas too, but about 200 mi. inland. well, how far inland I am really depends on where she strikes and at what angle, but I wont get more than some rain and strong winds, may see a tornado or two. My prayers are with all of you on the coast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would be nice if a mod could clean the spam out of this topic, it's nothing to laugh at.

Yeah, I meant for this to be serious, oh well, in anycase here's the updated location of RITA in the gulf. It is now a cat 4 storm and predicted to elevate into a 5 in the central part of the gulf. Galveston and Port Arthur (Tri-City) area has become a MAJOR danger spot, if any of yall are living there, please evacuate.

good luck to everyone that may get hit, i hope everything works out fine for you, i'd hate to see another new orleans....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also it seems like its gonna hit mexico

I really really really hope the whole of Texas and surrounding areas get through this one.

 

 

 

You're having it tough recently, America, but you'll get through it I'm sure. Along with being the world's only superpower, you're pretty strong people with an even stronger will :)

Yeah, we deffinitly need the prayers. I'm just hopeing some thing doesn't happen elsewhere in the country, like a super earthquake or tidal wave or something. I just hope my friends and members of my family aren't stubborn enough to stay around for this. It's gona be a real harbinger.

that means gas prices are going to go up again, it was kinda nice having it at 2.59. did you say you lived on an island? they were just talking about people on an island moving inland on cnn, something like galveston. well, i hope it doesnt get too bad, and i hope everyone gets through it ok.
