Samuel Dravis Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 It seems I might not be seeing as much of Rita as I expected, but I hear Louisiana is not faring well with all the rain they're getting now. Apparently the levees in NO have already broken. I went and helped some evacuees from Houston today, they were quite tired from driving 13+ hours just to get to Austin (normally it takes maybe 4)...

Apparently the levees in NO have already broken. Man that sucks so bad for New Orleans. And apparently for you as well, Dravis; no tarp and rope trick now, eh? All my best to everyone in Rita's path. I'm glad to see that people are more prepared than they were for Katrina. I hope everyone involved comes out of this all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Just talked to IG and supposedly it missed him. However I will leave the rest of the conversation out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Update: Well, it looks like it turned at the last second eastward, we're on the very edge of it. It hasn't been very strong today. Supposedly it's supposed to get worse in the coming hours. Thanks for all the well wishes guys. EDIT: Mike: I'll unblock you when you wise up and stop calling me an idiot.

lukeskywalker1 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well, thats good news IG... hope it doesn't get much stronger than it already is. If anything, it should be weakening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 EDIT: Mike: I'll unblock you when you wise up and stop calling me an idiot. *coughs* Perhaps you shouldn't ask for hurricanes then. Karma is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 CEASE THE COCKKNOCKERY OR HEADS WILL ROLL! Anyway, glad to hear you're doing good IG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well, it looks like it didn't miss us completely after all. We still got some pretty strong winds (though I see no damage), and a little bit of rain. I actually wish we'd have gotten a bit more rain because it is muchly needed in Houston. I am glad of where it hit, in a less populated area, yet we still got some effects so our preperations weren't all worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well, I still got to go to Mexico so HURRAY FOR NON-DAMAGING HURRACAINES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GONNA WIPE OUT THE CITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 What about Rp? He lives near Houston, afaik. Anyway, I just hope that all the swampers who live near Houston lives to tell the tale to their children and grand children. -Clemme Thanks for concern, heh. However, I live in Dallas. We're supposed to get some of it...but in it's weakened state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-64 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Well, Rita has weakened considerably. How are you doing, IG? Good, sorta tired, gotta move everything back to where it was so we can get on with our lives. Which is gonna take awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So you had to evacuate, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So you had to evacuate, then? No, nothing like that, we just had to bring everything inside from our backyard, which includes a trampoline that has to be assembled, and a tree in an incredibly heavy pot that we had to roll on pipes egyptian-style around our house into our garage. Among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
