Hurricane Katrina
 

Sh*t, hope none of you are in New Orleans now, I'm surprised there hasnt been a thread about this already.

It sucks cause all these oil thingos are getting closed down.

and my brother works at one.

so he has to leave and go there for awhile.

hes gone right now :(

ouch sorry to hear that. yeah, we have some really good friends of the family down there right now, hopefully they got out ok.

goddamn, im prayin' fo' all those ppl. & places that are feelin' Katrina, i hate hurricanes

i hear 45% of US fuel comes from that area so gas(petrol for the Euros) is scheduled to rise 20 cents this week. :(

sounds fairly intense... wouldn't wanna be in that fucker's way...

I don't know about overseas, but all the morning news shows are constantly covering it.

i heard that the water pumps are pitiful in New Orleans and that the flooding has potential to reach 25 feet, which could submerge the city.

we had some stuff bout it over here but not really big... they did say it was like the biggest for quite a long time though....

I just got back fromm down there a couple weeks ago. We were dropping off my sister who started college a week before they had to get evacuate. So my sister and her room mate who is from New York just went with some guy they met and took off to central Louisiana. Being down there before I can only imagine what the place is going to look like when its all flooded. All of the major highways are baisically bridges tjhat are only like 20ft above water so the roads will probobly be trashed.
