AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2005 Hurricane Katrina is heading straight for New Orleans Louisiana, and I'm from a town very close to New Orleans Louisiana. If it goes badly, my house could be lost, and yes, this sucks. Look on the bright side though, I have my new computer with me . I evacuated to a cousin's house in Houston Texas. Wish me luck and hope that the house isnt gone when I return on Tuesday or maybe on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Senna 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2005 Duh, it's freakin cold as hell up there. anyway I got news that its shifted a bit to the east, but the winds are heavyer. Conversation between my dad and myself:Me: Dad, if there are going to be 150+mph winds, there's gonna be glass all over the place. we should put our plywood up over the windows. Dad: Son, if there are 150+mph winds, there's not even gonna be a house here. I've evacuated from hurricanes before. 1992: Andrew 1998: Georges 2003: Lily 2004: Ivan 2005: Almost went for Dennis, left for Katrina BTW: I have my dad's old (1930's) Indianapolis 500 programs as well as most of my die-cast collection in a car at the airport parking lot, floor 4 (in America the ground floor is the first floor). I have my models and F1 die-cast with me in Houston Texas. Wish me luck. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the hurricanes: I had damage from Andrew in 1992 because the wind blew something off the roof, nothing more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

funkejay 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2005 Just remember, stuff can be replaced. The most important thing is that you had enough warning that you and your family could get out of the storm's path, and are no longer at risk. Instead, pity those too stupid or ill to leave. The most recent estimates put the number of those still inside the city at 300K. I don't know how much the rest of you know about New Orleans, but it ain't like Miami or Jacksonville, The Big Easy is going to be one messed up city when this is done. The news reports make it sound pretty grim. Good luck guys, let's hope some twist of fate spares you the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2005 Like I said, at least I got my new computer lol. The hurricane's made landfall from what I've heard, and is moving through quickly. School's closed, which is a bummer because there is school on the week of the Indianapolis 500 and the make up days will go past that. Oh well, fly up Friday, Fly down Sunday night.
