**totalkos** · 08-29-2008, 02:24 PM

i heard today that if it doesnt change it course, it could hit oklahoma as a hurricane!!!!!

**txz28** · 08-29-2008, 06:59 PM

yeppers now they are talkin once it hits the deep "trench" in the gulf that it could hit like katrina did then curve around into east Texas and sit there regaining back to huricane status or it could hit houston or just east of houston and then the other one i saw should it hiting down near victoria Texas the thing is they dont know the only thing they do know is its goin to hit as one bad ass storm and the stage is set for that bitch hana to follow in right behind it

so long story short i'm makein the wife take our son and my mother up to my sis place and i am goin to ride the storm out ready for anyone thinkin about a five finger discount

Hurricanes HA! I laugh at hurricanes! Or at least laughed at hurricanes untill one tore up all my shit!

If the NO gets hit again the gov't needs to declare the entire area a beach or destroy the leeves and make a new bay! Seems like a waste of time, money and life to keep rebuilding a city in such a vulnerable location especially after what we've seen!

I hear people all the time around florida say well it's better them than us! Which is somewhat true depending on what side of the ball your on!
Someone/area going to get slammed it's just a matter of who!

Good Luck to all in the path!

lol i used to say the samething tell i got 18 inches of water in the house lol and no shit about NO they force people here in Texas to sale their shit if it gets flooded out to many times its called the "federal buy out program" why dont they just do the same with NO

**nitrox28** · 08-29-2008, 07:15 PM

I hope it takes out the ghetto again. That made for some great television!

**chuck4345** · 08-29-2008, 07:21 PM

lived in florida most of my life never evacuated sissy asses (

of course i was above sea level)

**totalkos** · 08-29-2008, 07:54 PM

Yeah i dont like most of new orleans either. Where i live (slidell) i live above sea level.

i was here for katrina no prob. The only reason im evacuating is because of my SS and i do NOT feel like sitting in the sweltering heat for 2 or 3 weeks like after katrina. F THAT!

So i opted the early vacation route!

**Tide** · 08-29-2008, 08:16 PM

Eh, I might leave (Mobile), though it depends on where it's actually projected to make landfall. I'm not scared of the hurricane, I just hate being without power/internet/TV. So I'll probably just take the family and head to my parents house in NE Alabama.

**B34M3R** · 08-29-2008, 08:55 PM

I will never evacuate for ANYTHING smaller then a cat 4 eye hit, unless I'm in a flood zone. Which I'm never going to live in anyway. I've been way too many of these things to care about the winds unless its a real juggernaut. The most dangerous shit is the water, and honestly you should already know if you need to GTFO because of that.

**2002 WS6 KILLS** · 08-30-2008, 03:04 AM

If you even consider staying, especially if you are in a vulnerable area to begin with, you are a fool! Didn't anyone learn anything from Katrina?? Then, when the S*IT hits the fan and you realize you're in trouble, you expect firefighters, police, coast guard, or national guard to come save your stupid A*S?? What a joke!! Get out now!!

**txz28** · 08-30-2008, 03:09 AM

no we are from TEXAS and dont need your countrys help and i'm stayin behind to keep all those "brotheras" from NO that never left the houston area after that God send of a storm katrina hit , dont try and take anything from my family and if they try well anyone know what swiss cheese looks like thats how they are goin to look

**Sarge** · 08-30-2008, 03:24 AM

HHHmmmmm....must get Beer/Marlboro's/Beef Jerky. Lots of all three.

It's all good i'm sure Negin can do this again...

Just sit tight it will pass.

**Too Fast** · 08-30-2008, 04:07 AM

My brother lives in NO, he is evacuating all the way to..............................the north side of Lake Ponchatrain! I told him he is foolish to take his wife and 4 kids and camp there in his 30 foot RV. I sure as hell would be up in northern LA at the least.

**txz28** · 08-30-2008, 04:13 AM

that aint no lie that lake/bay is big enough to help keep any storm strong to screw shit up all the way up to Ar

**Too Fast** · 08-30-2008, 04:20 AM

Ponchatrain emptied into NO last time when the levies failed with Katrina, eh?

**Tobynine9** · 08-30-2008, 05:05 AM

Last I read, the flood line from a Cat-5 going direct over Houston would only go as far North as 290 and 610. I'm well enough NW of there that the only thing I'd have to worry about are the unevacuated coming my way looking for food and shelter.

I've got enough stores of crap to last a while w/o formal utilty services
