LUFAN Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I agree Coop is the man. I also agree that we need to take a chill pill or crack open a cold one and relax a bit. We have no control over where it is going to go. It is not up to us where this storm is going to go... We can only do what we can to minimize the effects. No matter what someone is going to get drilled by this big bad storm. If it is not us we need to remember how lucky we are and we need to try to help those folks in any way we can. And if it does turn our way I would hope that they would reach their hands out to us to help pick us up off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvc184 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Again...... If meteorologists knew when, where and how strong a storm was going to be when it hit, there would be no debate. There are no computer models, hunches, guesses or anything else that can tell when, where and how hard a hurricane is going to strike. Educated guesses can be made on current data but even that is subject to change ever couple of hours. This is not an exact science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand the good side and the bad side of a storm, buddy! I was simply saying to calm down. We will most likely not see the kind of damage that Rita created if it makes landfall in Freeport. Making comments like the one's you made only make alot of people more ancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUFAN Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Well thanks for you concern baseball, but we need to take a calm look at our situation with the most up to date information that we have. We will have 2 or more updates before morning to make a more educated guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUFAN Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I agree coop. But the question is can they do it quick enough. They had lines of Charter buses drive by my job today. Hopefully they can turn some of those to our area. They are saying Houston may only get 200 buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82 5A State Champs Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 so they want people to stay in 96-110 mph I just don't get it.... Well, I think they realized that they've messed up with the evacuations over the past couple of weeks. They pulled the trigger too soon with Gustav, and nothing happened. And now they've waited too long to order it for our area. This late in the game, if they ordered an evac then it would just make a bad situation on the roadways, worse. The best option, IMO, is for people to just stay put. HAve you noticed that BISD has not cancelled school, either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
