SOMEONE MAIL ME A GUN!!!! (joke) - Although I wish I did have one in case! *Heading to Daddy's gun cabinet tonight* that would be a felony.

Rebecca 0 #77 September 20, 2005 Quote>what, about 6, no make that 9 cases of Newcastle, 15 bags of ice, blender . . . Sounds like you'll need my solar powered blender if the hurricane really hits there. Gah! Crap! I knew there was something amiss there... Oh well, scratch the mix - we'll just shoot what tequila we can and keep the rest for sterilization. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

gemini 0 #89 September 21, 2005 Uh oh, not good news. Here's the latest projected tracks. An earlier turn to the North is not good for Houston. 8 models showing landfall between Matagorda and Galveston. Note that there are more showing a Beumont - New Orleans landfall now too.

gemini 0 #91 September 21, 2005 As of 6 AM this morning the models are beginning to concentrate on Matagorda as the more likely landfall. Houston & Spaceland will be on the dirty side of the storm if this is accurate. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valcore 0 #92 September 21, 2005 You know what I found out is really fun in a Hurricane. I did this in Opelia, but take an old parachute that you don't use any more and have no hope in ever selling. Find an area with wet grass, and go to town. It's like a high speed slip and slide. The most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I'm from the government and I'm here to help’. ~Ronald Reagan 30,000,000 legal firearm owners killed no one yesterday.

Rebecca 0 #97 September 21, 2005 Kroger was insane last night. No water, virtually no canned food but Spam, lines out the door... I think I left them about 12 bottles of Newcastle. The rest went home with me. So, TG, do you have a generator? I was thinking about trying to get one just to keep the 'fridge going. Any tips for riding it out? Doesn't look like we're going anywhere.

(I live in the Heights, btw) *** Start filling jugs with water and freezing them... keep the fridge cold for a while with the power out...and it's extra drinking water if needed. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
