Some of us know that there is a Hurricane season, some of us don't. But from last season to now there has been tons of pollutions, TONS and guess what it is not stopping, It just gets worse and worse. Saving energy and beign conserative saves you money, makes prices cheaper, it is the right thing to do and you do not hurt anybody by doing it.

Are you wearing pacholli right now? I hear you though, hippy.

I wish a massive hurricane with wipe out DC. Evacate all the common people, leave high ranking officals to see what a hurricane's like from inside of the storm wall.

My worst fear is that the southern part of the USA becomes unhabitable. With global warming God knows

how many hurricanes this proportion people will get over the years. It is truly unprecedented.

Good luck to everyone out there that may be affected.

We have two faction members (that I know of) that are either worried or moving out until this 'blows over' so to speak.

Dont they pay YOU to live in alaska?

I'm in San Antonio, and the weather gurus are saying that by the time Rita reaches us, she'll still be a cat 3 hurricane. Here's the major difference, though... Corpus Christi all the way up through Galviston is above sea level. New Orleans was not. We've had cat 5's before, but not in a long while. We're stocking up on supplies just in case the electricity goes out, but other than that, we should be fine. The biggest worry isn't the hurricaine itself, but the tornados that will spawn off of it.

I hate tornados.

Yeah I miss Anchorage, been
awhile since I lived there or Eagle River....anyways. My thoughts and
prayers are with all of those about to be affected, and continue to be
with those that have been. Not sure if this matters or not, but my Dad
always told me "Storm can't last forever, you was here before it you
will be here after it." I live by those words, (among others) hope you
will all be alright.

Note to WG: Yeah you get paid to live there, get money from the oil up
there. Good thing is when you are in the armed forces you still get to
claim Alaska as your home state, and thus continue to get that check
every year no matter where in the world you are.

On behalf of the Shades of Grey,

I would like to tell everyone (anyone) in the path of Hurricane Rita to
be careful, take care of yourselves, and that you are in our prayers
for a safe return to your home and belongings (should you leave) or a
safe stay at home if you don't. From the looks of it, this one is
going to be worse than Katrina, and we want to see you all come back.

And for those of you that are still recooperating from Katrina, hold on
even tighter. Hopefully this won't touch much of the already
devistated parts of the south; Lord knows it can't handle another one
right now.

Again, take care, and you're in our prayers,

Esky et al.

Muhahaha we just got let out of school early! I don't think its going to be bad for me, my brick home will hold up good here on the edge of the storm...worst thing I'm worried about is my tree falling into my house O_O. Good luck to everyone and be safe.

Actually Alaska is a beautiful place, I went on a cruise up the Iceberg Straight and it was amazing.

My prayers are with the people of Texas AND the thousands of people displaced from Katrina who now have to move again. I now live in Northern VA but was born and raised in N.O. LA. My friends and family are so spread out it's ridiculous. Be safe everyone and take the necessary precautions. This storm is not to be F'd with. Property and posseions mean nothing compared to losing your life. I pray that everyone evacuates the areas in the path. Good luck and God Bless.

I live in Killeen,Tx about a 2hr drive from San Antonio and last night when i went into work(walmart)

we were completly out of batteries,flashlights,water and most of our can goods were gone. so im not as

bad off as some people are but we will get the high winds and massive thunderstorms that propel from Rita.

we have already discussed the plans of gathering all the customers and associates in case of a tornado or high winds at work. so its pretty serious when we are out of water now and our trucks are coming from as far south as New Braunsfels

A little quote from The Crow "It can't rain all the time"

Jeez.. I hope everyone is safe who are along the path of Hurricane Rita! My thoughts are with you all.

I hope everyone is safe.

my thoughts are with you all.

I've now designated this the official discussion thread for Hurricane Rita. Let's keep the discussion friendly in respect for all those being affected by the impending storm.

Pardon me if I'm a bit distracted today. My brother and his family are evacuating Houston today and I'm a bit concerned.

All our thoughts here are with those currently in the path of Hurricane Rita, especially those already impacted by Hurricane Katrina.
