    I know that it lowered to Category 3(I know it because I've been watching the Weather Channel all day) and it's going to have a direct hit on Port Arthur, Texas. Poor people there, they're right in the middle of it. :(

    The names are automatically picked from the beginning of the hurricane season. For example: Let's say Hurricane Dan just faded and then a Tropical Depression forms. Then the tropical depression strengthens and then it becomes a tropical storm. If Dan was used already, then they would go to the next name on the list. If it's Ethan, then they'll call the tropical storm Tropical Storn Ethan.

    That's how the names work.

    It's now a category 1, Houston is devastated. I wish luck to you, thanhthuy, and to all the people that have been evacuated.

    The mayor says there have been isolated incidents of misconduct.

    Let's just hope everything's going fine...

    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?
