Do you think New York would secretly get a little thrill out of us getting Katrina'd?

So in any of the areas are the animals acting strange or migrating? That would be one of the most telling signs!

I'm sorry, but I don't trust levees build by The Army Corps of Engineers. Read the book Cadillac Desert and you will soon see just how dismal their record has been, particularly in California.

We had a tropical storm come in when we lived in Houston in the late 80's. It dropped 11" of rain on us, went up to East Texas, turned around, came back to Houston, and dropped another 12". Was that Allison?

"Might also mention the loaded firearm per house ratio is about 5:1."

Asked hubby if he's comfortable with the number of firearms we have. He pointed out that we have 1 for each member of the family. I pointed out that each member of the family has 2 hands. :)

FOX news still hyping the demise of Houston.

I had to turn off Hannity because of the same thing.

would likely have the track a bit more to the east again and landfall actually inside Louisiana... looked to be Cameron Parish.

The models have a consistent left bias for the GOM storms, with Katrina being the exception.

Hard to one hand a .308, but my wife mentioned something similar the other day.

I was just reading in the paper where the rigs (all/some?) are built for 70' waves.

Apparently CNN didn't get the message--don't get stuck on stupid.

I have no reason to distrust them - but my point was that it was built to Cat 3, and this thing right now is a tad bigger.

I will look at Cadillac book sometime, tho.

I think you are just being modest. Google may provide the background but it is you who adapts it for the benefit of all of us in Hurricane Alley. Apparently, your employer appreciates your skills too. :)

NO.

But my liberal neighbors will be happy if the storm guts Halliburton or KBR HQ.

The London papers with a guy on the scene blogging now say 17 hour drive to Dallas from Houston.

I know my in-laws got up at 3:00 AM and had driven from Humble to Livingston (55 miles) as of 2:00 PM, so 17 hours sounds pretty good.

Nasa ship Liberty Star is reporting 50+ mph winds at her position....

That's little more than an Ocean tug. Betting this isn't the most comfortable ride about now!
