You don't have to live somewhere to know the weather.
I'm guessing late September Texas and Lousiana will be hit by a CAT 4. Katrina hit as a CAT 3. o.o
Katrina hit as a cat 4. The reason it was so devastating was because:
A: The city was already below sea level
B: The levees all broke and flooded the city
C: New Orleans has some very poor areas already
I've lived in Houston for thirteen years, the last major, major storm to hit here was (I think)Tropical Storm Allison. We got severe flooding on the freeways, but my area wasn't affected, but when I was going to summer school, my teacher told us how she got stuck in her house because of the flooding. Houston rarely gets devastations like the southeast does, but we do get frequent bad weather. Like tornadoes, for instance.
PS: No, we did NOT get Rita, either. Even though my area evacuated like mad, I played outside with my friends during the WORST of the storm. It was really windy, and fun. We didn't get anything severe.
My family lived in New Orleans for over five years, but they'd only seen Hurricane Andrew.(I was one, so I don't remember)
Well they're predicting a 47% chance of a major hurricane {Cat 3 or higher} striking the gulf coast from the panhandle westwerd.
It's really strange how whenever big hurricanes start chugging our way, they suddenly turn and hit, like, the South of Texas, or the East.
I feel sorry for anyone living in the East. :(
BRING ON THE NEXT HURRICANE SEASON! X3 Being in Florida, we get about two every year; I'm actually kind of anxious.
I like hurricanes, also. I can do fun things in them. Like go outside.
I've played outside for Ivan, Rita, and Allison. I'm not scared to play when the wind kicks up...
Only if I get hit by lightning. Then I'd stop.
And if there are water snakes. Then I'd take out the shovel.
Anyway, hurricane season for Houston sucks, we never get any bad weather.
Oh well.
