Maybe she'll suggest that they hold off on the super-duper
re-invacuation of NOLA.
You know of course, that our guy Nagin's made that an important part of his mic time...

So I have a question...when the hurricanes turn and head for the cruise ships used for housing, are they going to leave the people on when they head to sea? Some of those people would have had their first helicopter ride, first airplane ride, and first cruise ship ride in a little over a month?!?

Well, she didn't talk for very long. But she sure as hell looked motivated this time...

Wow, that's a lot more retired names than I thought there would be.
Thank you both for being so fast with the information.

There's a huge amount of dry air over Texas and even over Houston right now. It was nasty hot today, but not humid.
While dry air feeding into a hurricane will weaken it, I'm not sure that's the scenario. That high that is protecting Houston will move NE according nearly all the models. Dry air won't feed into Katrina.
It will get out of her way.

"...motivated..."
GREAT word! Wonder what motivations she's got? She's got more stuff goin' on in her head than a blender at La Paletera.

And charge your cellphone before the storm. It may not do any good if the towers are flattened, but if they're not, having a fully charged phone will be important.
To: scott0347
Yep, take longer w/ the added info ;>)

More excellent suggestions. I just put some Tupperware jugs filled with water in the freezer. Also started putting the ice from the ice maker in garbage bags and storing them in the freezer (might as well put the ice-maker to use). I plan to use it 24x7 between now and Friday. I am thawing some hamburger to make spaghetti to empty the freezer.
This is my first Hurricane after moving to Texas from California so all the advise on this board is welcome. I am out in Cypress so wind and rain are my main concerns. They have the power lines around here buried but the ones outside the community are all above ground and with the construction going on I figure one good tree and zappo no power.

Long day, but I'm back. Was in your fair city most of the day and after the late morning update, there seemed to be little concern.
Your question: The Kenedys, Sharptons, Algore and company seem to want to give all the credit for creating and controlling hurricanes to our President, so I think he would be the one to contact. Do keep in mind that there are many down here still praying for rain and these issues really need to be weighed out and discussed. Maybe we can form a Congressional committee and come up with a compromise or solution.

I bought my hard line phones at Radio Shack for 10 bucks each. Still use them.

Hopin' that Rita's not a wench or a witch with a b. It's time to get provisions ready in case she makes a hard left.
I downloaded google earth. I haven't used it yet but I can see my house from space w/that download.

Yes, the ships would most likely sail with pax aboard. Good observation on all the firsts for the NOLA evacuees.

Like the mayor of Amity island once said. "you say barracuda and people say, 'what, what?' You yell 'shark' and...."
All you got to do now is say "hurricane" around Gov. Blank O and she gets it.
Proof that anyone CAN be taught..

As long as Nagin stays out of Florida, I think I'm good.

I would recommend a Big Berky. I just linked one of the first sites I found that carries them, so shop around. I did and saved close to $40.00
I have owned one of these since the attack on Sept. 11 and I highly recommend it.
