Big A$$ Hurricane is gonna destroy Texas! Rejoice!

[Jam930]

Seems it moved eat just before hitting New Orleans so they didn't get a direct hit...
but it was still really bad.

Flying debris, flooded houses. Many of the big buildings' glass windows shattered, raining glass onto the street.

370,000 homes there without power.
An area east of downtown was flooded 8 feet deep and rising a foot per hour.

Crazy.

Don't lie, everyone knows that George W. Bush doesnt believe in things like Hurricanes and Global Warming.

Why should anyone? Everyone knows that they're just a conspiracy dreamed up by Ralph Nader to hurt businesses and make him look good.

What's with all the bushwhacking?

[stretchypanda]

I can't get ahold of my parents.

They live in Jackson, MS, and are pretty much inland enough to not have to worry about hurricanes, but are still in danger of rain, hurricane-force winds, or tornados.

Last time I talked to my mom she said the power had been out almost all day, with it the landline phone, and while we were on our cell phones the call dropped and then when I tried to call back I got an "All circuits are busy now" message. I got ahold of her about 45 minutes later, but then tried to call about two hours after THAT and got the same message.

Now, I'm pretty sure this just means the cell phone towers are down, because people are having some trouble calling me, but I am thisclose to panicking.

=(

He's the president... and the trend is to dis the president, whoever he may be.

Patriotism at its best.

[falconsfan14]

Georgia is being crushed by tornado's, but thats nothing compared to whats happening to the people that are in the path of that hurricane, hope everyone will be ok. T.T

[Jam930]

Day after tomorrow.

[plasmix]

lol u guys r queird

[stretchypanda]

Okay. The storm ripped shingles off our house, knocked out power to damn near the whole state, tore down tree limbs and whole trees, but everyone is okay. A tree fell on the electric fence my dad just built, so once again our horses are confined to a small grazing area until the debris can be cleared and the fence repaired.

Thank you, Shox, for the IM.

[golee-o]

WOW i just got powerback at my house no damage but i saw on the news and damn! we can only pray for all who need help

[dontcareaboutmyid]

You wanna know the worst thing? Bush was at his Texas Ranch ON VACATION!!!!1

PRESIDENTS SHOULD NOT GET VACATION!!!!

And as I know that's not going to change (unless i get into office, oh will thay be the day) he could at least have the decency to realize that a hurricane of lvl5 magnitude is approaching america and mobilize the national guard, the army, or have them completly ready to move out as to help with clean up, because that's all you can do with a storm like this.

It just had to miss texas.... Hopefully with the hurricane traveling across the east, his plane will be caught up in it and asplode or something.

[talisman]

dude fuck that I'd take a vacation if I were president. You'd go crazy otherwise.

btw I voted for Kerry, I'm just saying, I think we can be bipartisan about vacations.

oh and I was a little disappointed by this hurricane. I would have rather it spared the poor mississippians and hit New Orleans squarely. And that it hadn't weakened to a cat 4 when it made landfall.

Mississippi is the fattest state in the country. Alabama is second, and Louisianna is fourth. Hell, this hurricane is like something straight out of the Bible. God's just getting wiping out the area which has the highest concentration of fat people in the United States.

New Orleans is gone. Pretty much, I guess they issued a Marshall Law. Meaning everyone has to evacuate from New Orleans now.

[gowereinside]

Yeah if you look at the news everything is destroyed or damaged they still dont know how many people have died and how many are traped in there homes!

If i were the major i would of made the evacuation notice much sooner so they could of went door to door like they did for the people on the coast before Ivan

[Rebirth0]

Wow, I've been talking to my aunt, which lives a little west of Mobile Alamaba, so she got hit pretty hard.

It could be two months before New Orleans has power restored...
