Rebecca 0 #126 September 21, 2005 QuoteIn your neck of the wood it shouldn't. Yeah, but it's not like I live in a gated community miles and miles from the ghetto. I live across the street from it. You're prob'ly right though. Is anyone else in Houston being expected to concentrate on office work, and just totally too preoccupied to do a damn thing? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

JohnRich 4 #129 September 21, 2005 QuoteA disturbing number of the more accurate predictors (AEMI, AVNI, OFCI) show it going very near or right through Houston. I was on the road today in the NASA area north of Galveston. Short lines at gas stations. Bottled water and canned food selling out. Plywood in the back of pickup trucks everywhere. A few stores boarding up. Signs on stores indicating they're closing. And I-45 northbound is already getting clogged up. Tomorrow should be really fun...

Slappie 9 #130 September 21, 2005 I promise you this isn't New Orleans... Looters will be shot and shot dead here in South Texas. If I don't know you, you make me nervous and you step foot in my house after the storm in a threatening manner. I will shot you, then search your body for ID. End of story. Now if I see you looting my neighbors house, we may have some words then I shot you. If I see you looting a grocery store.. FFA biotches!! May the best man win. In all seriousness.. I don't think looting after the storm is going to be a wide spread problem. Not that it won't happen. But I think it's not the biggest worry we should have.

JohnRich 4 #132 September 21, 2005 QuoteConsidering I'm not trained, licensed or permitted, I'm thinking gun-acquisition is gonna be a low priority on the supplies list. Oh, I'm pretty sure I could take a mutha down, but seeing as how there's these waiting periods and stuff... . This is Texas, still land of the free. You don't need no steenkin' license, permit or waiting period to buy a gun and keep it in your own home. Training, of course, is a good idea. I'd be happy to take you out and let you shoot a few guns to see what you like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #133 September 21, 2005 Latest report on Fox News is that Hurricane Rita is now a Category 5 with 165 mph sustained winds... Holy fuck... Who thought we'd see another one like Katrina so soon?? If Rita hits Galveston/Houston with anything over 135 mph, the area's fucked...

Sopheavy 0 #135 September 21, 2005 I don't know yet if I am staying or leaving. I live about 45 minutes from Galveston and 30 minutes from Spaceland. If I do, I will probably stay with some famiy at the Woodlands but even that is not far. My best friend is moving to San Francisco, she's lucky because her plane is leaving at 5PM today. I feel like going to California. My brother is being stubborn. He is going to ride out the storm with his girlfriend, their four dogs, and two cats!!!! He's not even getting any food or water. He doesn't believe it's going to be so bad.....!!! I just want to slap him!---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the storm.

katiebear21 0 #136 September 21, 2005 Please, please, please, everyone in the area of Hurricane Rita take all the necessary precautions and get out of there. Don't let Katrina have been something that nobody learned anything from. That, and I can't handle hearing about any more bad news from anyone I care about. Check out the storm path.

moodyskydiver 0 #138 September 21, 2005 Well, I live in Huntsville where they have one of the Red Cross hubs set up and people are pouring in already, not to mention we still have tons of Katrina victims still camped out and TCD is supposed to be evacuating over 6,000 inmates from the units down south to the 9 units we have here. I'm not sure if they mentioned it but the shelters are supposed to be allowing pets if that is a problem. I'm supposed to be out of town this weekend for a family thing but if people still need somewhere to stay PM me and I'll see what I can do. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."
