Gulf Coast States
If Gustav comes your way ... where will you evacuate to? It's predicted to be at least a catagory 4!! :eek: We will probably go to Jackson, MS...
update: oops nevermind my husband said no to Jackson. We will be going north east or north west... never straight north. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...00807_5day.gif |
oh yaaaay, another storm!!!
|
I know but this one will be a biggie... the full hurricane strength :(
|
Fairly sure FlaGirl was being sarcastic...

I know that and I said "I know" as in "I know :rolleyes: " but I guess you didnt read it that way. |
How is it that I'm barely hearing about this one and it's full strength, but that when the other one came (Fay), the news wouldn't shut up?

After the debacle that was the Hurricane Rita evacuation, I will never evacuate again.
|
This thread makes me *gasp* glad to live in Ohio (where our only real worries are blinding snowstorms--and you can't evacuate for those).
|
I hope it just goes to Mexico.

:eek: you have to if its coming your way!! Think of Katrina!! We boarded up for Fay just in case and it is a pain in the butt... but really better safe than sorry! My husband just called and he said they are getting ready for it at his work this week... just in case. I just called State Farm to be sure all of our policies are in order... not that it means they will actually pay ... ;) |
Are you right on the coast? I have vague memories of Alicia coming to Houston when I was very little, and our neighbor had a tree through her house- but the rest of us were pretty unscathed. So all the time I lived there, I never got real worried.
Living in Austin, I will probably inherit some evacuees if it comes to that. I was in Houston when Rita came and we left that afternoon and got to Austin without any of the trouble many people had. But when we got to Austin, people were running around buying up water and panicking worse than Houstonians lol. I think once you have been through a few, it is hard to get worked up. Katrina was certainly a reminder though that sometimes there can be massive devastation on coastal towns (and Rita did its damage too, though less publicized.) |
During Alicia I lived in Seabrook, TX…about a block from the water. I was pretty young so I barely remember anything. My most vivid memory is eating breakfast at the Red Cross trailer at City Hall.
I think the only reason I evacuated for Rita was because of all the coverage that Katrina got. Rita sent the city into a panic. Cell service went down and you couldn’t buy gas anywhere and I just got caught up in the panic of wanting to get out of town. I still live about five minutes from the water. |

I really wish my brother hadn't moved to Alabama...
