Update: Rita

Re: Update: Rita

kaleem,

Best of luck dude. Take no chances, you have girls to raise. Stay in the frikkin house no matter what it sounds like.

Having been though an almost direct hit by a category 2 hurricane, the one thing I can assure you is that the experience is almost surreal. You will see and feel and experience things you have never felt before. It is at once awe inspiring, terrifying, and oddly exciting. At this point it looks like you will be spared the brunt of the storm, so we are all a little relaxed here, and I am sure you feel ready for it. Get the video camera ready, and the digital camera. Collect the newpapers published afterward, and you will have stories to tell your grandkids.

Best of luck, you are in our prayers.

Inshahallah you'll be fine too. :)

PCG: I hope no one is on the road...
OG, I have the video camera all set to go....it seems that we are only going to get the 60 mph winds and 4-8" of rain.
Khushi, pray to Allah...I am not sure what the relationship is between Cat3 hurrican and storm?

Re: Update: Rita

“Yeah, Bob, the wind is pretty gusty here” (weather reporter swaying in the wind with one finger in his ear and the other hand holding his bheega hua mic)

No crap, sherlock, its a hurricane.

Re: Update: Rita

You should have seen CNN and FOX...It was like they were covering the end of the world...

Re: Update: Rita

Yeah, but for some reason it felt like they were creating a hype for no reason. My dad was saying 2 days ago how this is how they prepare people for war - mass evacuation :eek:
