That's it. That is not only the Line of the day on FR (I have seen great ones today btw), that should be a t-shirt.
I must borrow it.
Looked like you could use one.
(Oh, and try Shasta diet Grapefruit)
"AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HURRICANE"
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING OF 15 TO 20 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS"
"RAINFALL TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 25 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE AFTER RITA MOVES INLAND."
Add
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 85 MILES = 170 mile circle of spinning winds of 70mph+
Not much to decipher here, I think.
If you can get some flour and yeast, I can talk ya through your first loaves of homemade bread, but ya have to act fast before the power goes off...
I despise him too, and he did do a darn good job with Ophelia, butttttttt I heard on my local station at noon that folks (Salter Path) are plugging ahead on their own...haven't seen FEMA, piles of debris waiting to be picked up, nobody knows who's coming to get it or when. Not bitchin' mind you, in the least, from what I saw...just saying that's the state of affairs.
A Marine Mom I know in Tx, with a son (unavailable) in Combat Training here, spent two hours on the phone with Red Cross yesterday so that she could get an alternatate number to her son in case the power went out, spoke to a kajillion new volunteers who know nothing about how to contact the military.
Sure! Go ahead. It's not like you are requiring him to starve. Be at peace.
We have bread, but we are selling it by the slice!
Stay safe Xena!
I didn't know Houston was so close to New York.
Actually, it's written in pretty plain English. THEY JUST LIKE TO YELL ON THESE BULLETINS. If you don't let that intimidate you, you should be OK. Basically, they're expectin winds of 150 mph, 8-15 inches of rain with totals of up to 25" depanding on where you are. The storm surge is expected to be 15-20 feet. And it's big. There'll be an update at 4 PM Central time.
Hey, I've got bread! And about 8 lbs of various summer sausages and hard salamis.
I'd like about a half gallon of gasoline for my chain saw. I can see a deal in the making...
Mine were on Edgewood Avenue until 2001. Lots still there now.
Our drink word for Katrina was "bowl". "Soup bowl" was a doubler.
"Likely targets include the national Weather Service for an inaccurate early call, the NHC,..."
I think you will see confirmation of this in future pressers from Blanco.
I wish you had a bread machine!
LOLOL
Yep, it's really easy to get on TV and order an evacuation and then have NO highways with the capacity to handle 1.3 million evacuees. Why contraflow wasn't started last night is a mystery only TX Gov. Rick Perry can solve. I suspect it's because every square inch of highway in Texas now has to have a concrete Mexican truck barrier built in the center and you don't have the flexibility you need in this situation. The people I know who have been on the road for hours and have gone nowhere have decided they are going to turn around and go home. This was such a botched evacuation that it almost makes Gov. Blanko look good.
LOL.........you are having way TOOOO much fun in the storm.
People have bought the last dust bunnies under the shelves. If Xena can find yeast I would suggest brewing beer rather than making bread!
