Hurricane Rita

[linkinpark4life_69]

As many of you know, this storm is following a similar path to Katrina, and even a small brush to New Orleans can put the city underwater again. If many of you don't know by now, the storm has doubled the windspeed since yesterday and as of 10 AM, it is a category 4 storm with weeds in upwards of 140 MPH, (225 kph for those canadians like me). It looks as if the storm will strike Texas. I think this will be a bigger storm than Katrina in my opinion, with winds almost pushing 200 by tomorrow. Any of you watching any of this and what are your opinions. It may not be serious now, but in 3 days, it'll be another major killer.

Its gonna get critical , i live in houston , so i need to evacuate pretty soon.

[Ronin]

yeah, i live in Irving Texas. we are hearing alot about it. its getting kinda freaky. from what i understand, we arn't going to get the hurricane itself as it moves upward, but a LOT of tornados

[Holiday]

Good Luck Guys! I hope you all are safe and sound with minimal proporty damage.







....The end of the world is coming :mellow:








*sigh* there goes gas prices. :( (haha but we already get it cheaper than most other people....still) I filed up my tank yesterday, even though i didn't really have the money to, because I knew it was going to shoot way up.






What are these hurricains doing to our economy?

[lpsk8er]

So many darn hurricanes.

Gas is a $1.15 here now. When Katrina hit, it shot up to $1.48. (These are Canadian prices mind you.)

What the price of gas will be after Rita is beyond me, but I'm betting it will pass the $1.50 level here.

As for this Hurricane, isn't Rita like the 17th one so far this year?

[Todd]

Meh, I'm not going to believe a thing about gas prices until I see it actually happen. After Katrina, everyone was like "OH NOES!!!!1111ONES GAS PRICES ARE GONNA REACH 5 BUCKS A GALLON!!!! MY SUV USES 4 GALLONS FOR EVERY INCH IT MOVES WHAT WILL I DO?????////" and I never saw gas go above $3.29. So yeah, it might be a good idea to fill up now, but don't anticipate very expensive gas.

lol

yeah, but it reached $3.90/gal here. We actually have some of the highest gas prices in the country....it really is a drag. I need a more fuel efficient car, but i don't have the money to get anything else. :(


But, becuase there is going to be even more damage before the past damage has a chance to be fixed.

Everyone should fill up now.

[Weezy]

I hope you the Texas area the best of luck. Just hoping that Rita magically dies out before it hits land. o.O

[Glenn]

I give my best to those who live in Texas and other areas that will possibly be affected. Be safe! ;)

Haha, I live in Reno, NV. We have some of the highest gas prices in the country and there is no reason. The only places higher are some places in CA.


....yeah, it sucks here.

[insanechica007]

yeah, i hope y&#39;all are safe.. ^_^

..gas is only about &#036;2.60 here..in michigan..

[越南]

It just turned to cat. 5 reaching 165 mph.

I hope it slows down a little before it hits shore. :unsure:

[meteoricgirl_kelly]

I live in northwest Louisiana. My dad said that we are gonna get some hell out of Rita. The highest I&#39;ve seen gas in the whole Katrina thing is &#036;2.69. So, I&#39;m glad i don&#39;t drive......yet. :wth: I&#39;d hate to see what the prices are going to be in 2 years.

[越南]

im guessing prices will be around &#036;5 once this is over.

[Tomi]

I hope anyone in Texas learned from Katrina is starting to evacute before they get hit. Doesn&#39;t seem we can handle another major hurricane disaster right now.


Gas prices are expected to go up to &#036;10 this time, everyone fill up every single can you can get your hands on, now&#33; :lol: :lol: :lol:

[The Doctor]

If it&#39;s a category 5, it will die down soon. Category 5&#39;s don&#39;t usually last very long because they are moving SO fast, they start to tear themselves apart from the inside, bringing them down to a 2 or 3. It&#39;s a good thing that it hit 5 this early.

[xero theory]

i know alot of people of already said these but..be safe you guys who life in texas ;)


this shit is crazy there is like so many hurricanes a year..these hurricanes have to stop in the future like bulid a big wall

im so stupid sometimes :D

Hm, what&#39;s a bigger disaster? The hurricane or the wall designed to protect us from it falling on us? :lol:

I must say, that&#39;s quite possibly the dumbest idea I&#39;ve ever read. :lol:

Sorry, but it&#39;s not plausible or sensible. :P

ur hoping for a miracle man......u really are

[linkinpark4life_69]

UPDATE

Hurricane Rita is now the third biggest storm on record, and Katrina isnt even 1st or second. The storm has sustained winds of 175 MPH (280 km/h) and has been a category 5 storm since about 4 this afternoon. I recommend you all go to www.cnn.com and read up on this all. But ya, sorry Texas, you guys are majorly fucked. It will be worse than Katrina.

[The Doctor]

It&#39;s going to die out in a day. That storm is just going to tear itself apart, when it hits mainland it&#39;ll be down to a 2 or 3.

[Boo]

I am really impressed with society and how they are handling things. THey are really prepared. They have rescue people standing by and they have evacuating over 1,000,000 people from Houston already.

[Ztarduzt]

i live in holland, there are no such things as earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes or something here..

but we always have to fight/live with water..

but we&#39;ll survive.. it&#39;s not a life threatening situation ^_^

Duh, over a thousand died after inept government response over Katrina, of course they&#39;re not going to screw up again.

[Ronin]

thanks for keeping us in your hearts. its becoming hectic in my town. gas is staying the same at 3&#036;, but news is becoming more drastic. there has yet been an evacuation sign, so i guess we are sitting it out. thanks again guys for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. rock on.

Possibly. But probably not. You do realize that the gulf of Mexico is hot water, and that it will likely stay around the same strength when it hits? And I live in the Dallas area, and by the time it gets here it&#39;s supposed to be a category one (at least, as of this morning... I understand it&#39;s changed a little bit, so that may be different now).

linkinpark4life_69: No, it will not be worse than Katrina. The local governments already ordered mandatory evacuations and provided transportation for those without it. The federal government also is acting much swifter than with Katrina (obviously, as Mark said). Not to mention the fact that we&#39;re not 20 feet below sea level to begin with -- that may help a tad.

i didnt mean damage wise, but strength wise, but it did drop a little, its a category one, but it mad landfall like 10 hours go

[LProx4life]

that sucks i have my uncle living there

[J-Flex]

whats the problem? USA didn&#39;t give a fuck about envoirment pollution. now they see the consequences of it..

[越南]

ughh .. I just got back from 14 hours of a useless trip halfway across the county. The hurricane turned from a cat 5 to a 2 in less than 2 days.A mild breeze and a few hours of rainfall. It was sooo worth the trip. It sucks to be galveston though , i wonder whats the situation there now.

[Justin]

Some of the levees in New Orleans broke, and part of the city is flooded again.
