PatsFanTX Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 tx how far inland r u? 18 miles inland from Galveston. This is really getting crazy here. No gas to be found anywhere and the media is all "doom and gloom". People are starting to panic. The path of that hurricane better change or this will be pretty bad.

PatsFanTX Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 You gonna board up the windows tx? I was just watching the news, and they said it could REALLY strength out in the gulf and potentially be a 4 or even 5 hurricane before it makes landfall, saying it could be another Katrina. Not sure where it would hit around you, but definetly stay safe tx. Thanks barton. No sense boarding the windows because I'll be long gone and that's why you pay for insurance.

PatsFanTX Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 good news TX, according to the 11 am advisory, Rita is expected to grow to a cat 3 storm but down grade to a cat 1 before it makes landfall on the central Texas coast...... Hey 13, did that advisory lead with a story that PennyBoy had the strongest arm in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Wow, they say it will be a category 4 by tomorrow. So I go from worrying about missing the Jets game Sunday to worrying if I still have a house Sunday. The Jets better ******* win if I'm homeless. I also want a Troll/TX relief fund to be started by Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just declared a mandatory evacuation for Galveston County (which I live in) beginning at noon. It took me over 2 hours, but I was able to find a hotel room for the family (thank you American Express Travel). This will not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakliusmaximus Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Good luck Tex, Troll and anyone else. I’m going to be sticking it out in Katy since there are no hotel rooms to be had almost anywhere but at least that is a little bit inland and not likely to get hit like Galveston probably would. Just found out that there is no work tomorrow so we can board up the houses and make preparations. This is crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The company I work for has their headquarters in Houston (could explain why it had it third round of reductions a few months back ). Home office operations will be closed tomorrow and Friday. People are getting out of dodge or stocking up on milk and gas, I guess.....anyway, being the selfish woman I can be, I want two free paid days too - think I'll bring it up during the next blizzard. All kidding aside, this is serious business and to TX and Troll, best of luck and be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
