TheMadDoofer Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 My town (Galveston) just announced that they might have to evacuate (voluntarily) by tomorrow for Hurricane/Tropical Whatever Rita! The storm, by the way, is still east of Florida, and won't be here until at [/i]least[/i] Friday. It's not even a real hurricane yet, it's not even in the Gulf Coast (which usually sends it spinning into somewhere like Honduras), and everyone is already packing up! Now, I know Katrina was horrible, and that not taking precautions could lead to disaster, but come on! Isn't this a bit overreactive? (No school tomorrow though - finally get to play Wow again)
swphreak Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Heh... I've been living in Florida for over 10 years, and we've never evacuated. The only time we came close, was about 2 or 3 years ago when a hurricane came close to shores, and school was cancelled for about 2 or 3 days. That was fun.
TheMadDoofer Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 I hope that's how it turns out for me.
IG-64 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Heard about that, I live in Houston and am watching this pretty closely. We're starting to think of our gameplan just in case something big really happens.
Sabretooth Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Woah... America's getting bombarded by not nuclear bombs, not Nazi bombers, but by Hurricanes! Looks like the "Day after Tommorrow" was right after all! Run for the hills! Run for the hills!
BongoBob Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Why IG? You guys live hundreds of miles away from it don't ya
Prime Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Woah... America's getting bombarded by not nuclear bombs, not Nazi bombers, but by Hurricanes! Looks like the "Day after Tommorrow" was right after all! Run for the hills! Run for the hills! Clearly terrorists have gotten a hold of a weather machine.
IG-64 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Why IG? You guys live hundreds of miles away from it don't ya Actually my house is about 60 miles inland, and downtown houston is about 45 miles inland. And now they're starting to say it'll be a category 4 or 5 hurricane. >_>
TheMadDoofer Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, I'm probably going to evacuate now - I keep checking the web and every picture has the little line showing the path of the hurricane going RIGHT OVER Galveston, which is only about 18miles long. Hmmph. Luckily I live about 30 miles inland, so my house should be fine, but I'm leaving just the same.
acdcfanbill Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 silly me, at first i read your town name as Galvatron and wanted to move there
IG-64 Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 We're gonna ride it out, we're not in the evac zone but we're still pretty close. We got stocked up on drinks, and other supplies. The electricity should be out longer than normal because all of houston's help is over at new orleans. So, after saturday, I probably won't be on for awhile. I'm sure you all care so much.
CapNColostomy Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 silly me, at first i read your town name as Galvatron and wanted to move there Haha! Hell yeah, I'm movin' to Galvatron! "Galvatron, oh Galvatron, I still hear your sea winds blowin' I still see her dark eyes glowin' She was 21 when I left Galvatron Galvatron, oh Galvatron, I still hear your sea waves crashing While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun and dream of Galvatron" Oh yeah, hope you guys turn up safe. Get ya ass ta Mars.
MTV2 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 i would never leave my house if a hurricane came....even though i live in Vancouver, BC, Canada
