"Five people in the lunchroom yelled A$$hole in unison at the TV when he asked that question."

Tell them they didn't yell loud enough.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU! : )

Well, looking back we could not have gone back home in an hour and half had there been contraflo on Hwy 59. We bitched for 24 hours why they didn't open the other side (although we would have made it to my sister's house in half the time). We could never have turned around and made it back so easily.

[LdSentinal]

Agreed. Why watch the Liberal media blame Bush for everything when you can watch TWC and see Stephanie Abrams's and her wet shirt.

[kassie]

We're watching the local news. They have N.O. film showing right now.

I-45 is moving at posted speed limits. Contraflow is no longer in place.

About 18 hours before landfall; not shabby at all despite what the presstitutes will say.

[abb]

Well, then....all we need is a little cold rain...

[hummingbird]

Do you guys flood? What kind of temps does Michigan run in the fall?

[Howlin]

We're watching the local news. They have N.O. film showing right now.

*Sigh*

[jpsb]

Blowing pretty good on Galveston Bay, seas 5ft, wind topicial storm force out of the north. Just closed the bar, very few beer drinkers left here. Will post until I move to the more secure house, watching news and waiting until near hurricane force winds begin.

Thanks for that radar...I am in Louisiana...just SE of Lafayette. Needless to say, we're sweating out Rita. I've been lurking since Katrina and I've decided to join in.

ping to 158

[Lanza]

Yeah, Monday Bastardi had me thinking there would be no Houston Texas left. I was scared to death (of course I may still be since we are staying- I will let you know after the hurricane).

I slept through a category 3. I hope I do the same with this one.

[Lemondropkid31]

Is it going both ways now? I hope!!!

"About 18 hours before landfall; not shabby at all despite what the presstitutes will say."

They'll probably continue to show traffic pics from yesterday morning.

[sheikdetailfeather]

That reporter also asked President Bush "I mean..what can you do?" (I don't know who the reporter was).

[Lanza]

It depends on what TV station you are watching.

[hummingbird]

Same here...when this is all over, Honore should be made press secretary and make his first, and last, call to whoever that *ss was who showed such disrespect.

[BurbankKarl]

that whole area was destroyed...it is near where the barge is sitting...

[Tennessee_Bob]

Whoa - now there's a flashback.

[steveegg]

Believe it or not, I saw a hurricane evac route sign where I live. Where do I live? In West Michigan along the lakeshore. LOL.

Huricane Evac or Nuclear Evac? Well, you are on the windward side of the lake, so....
