I'm back now lol

H-town got lucky. It didn't got hit straight on, it was suppoused to hit us though. We dodged a bullet lol

I pretty much took my valuables with me to my uncle's home. The "hurricane" hit around Saturday around midnight.

All we got was hard winds, and rain. No fatalities so far. The roof tiles in my apartments were blown off, and a tree got ripped apart.

It was crazy on Thursday though. Gas ran out really quickly, and all Kroger, HEB, and Randalls stores ran out of food. I spent two hours on traffic on what was suppoused to be a quick ten minute drive to my uncle's.

I got freaked out really, I was pretty scared that we'd all get the same thing as those poor Katrina victims. I sure as hell didn't fancy the idea of moving to a shelter.

Anyway, at my uncle's I just spent nice time with my cousins and stayed with them for three nights lol. Our power went out for a couple of hours, not much. I've had the TV and radio on for updates. And yes, I got so freaked out when it went up to category 5. lol We had to board up our windows and duct tape them.

I'm counting my blessings, man. H-town's freakin lucky to not get hit by that hurricane.

Oh, and btw, please listen to Akio123 guys. :3 This was a pretty serious matter, and most of us people got scared especially about what happened with Katrina. Let's not make jokes about this pretty please >>;

Well we did have warnings from Sylvia Browne, some kind of psychic. She predicted this like 2 yrs ago. Becuase of the polar tilt we just had, and global warming, we're gonna have very strong tropical storms.

She says california will have volcano eruptions. Since I'm in idaho, I'd probably get the ash, I don't think I'm that close to get lava. Ash can be just as bad though, with the weight making roofs collaspe. I guess that means I'd need to sweep the roof off regulary. California already had a small earthquake.

The only worst thing that can happen is Yellow Stone park erupting, that one would be a super eruption, it'd make ash cover the whole north hemisphere.

Good thing the people of Texas was smart to evacuate, even though those routes and highways were JAMMED. Rita was kinda weird, it became a category 3? I didn't watch the news yet, but is there another hurricane in the line forming? Or is this the last?


=3 My new siggy!!! I worked so hard on it too, it wasn't that hard but it took some work, those who steal it will have lots of trouble!

Man, Rita was something...

No hurricane force winds and stuff like that...my area was bombarded with tornadoes. I swear, the tornado siren was on for about four hours straight Saturday...>_>

My area was lucky. Belzoni, a town about 50 miles near here, wasn't. One person was killed and most of the town was destroyed...

Wow...yeah I live Corpus Christi, Texas...and at first it was going to hit where I was...so I had to get away. I evacuated to Hye, Texas a hour away from Austin. It was sooo scary. >< Luckly it didn't hit over there. But I feel sorry for Northeastern Texas and Southwestern Texas. ;; I hope everyone will be alright.
