Hurricane Rita prediction

[Richard]

One thing no was has brought up is everyone trying to go back at once and probally no gas when you get there. My son lives in Galveston and is with us right now in Dallas and he says to beat the rush he needs to leave right after Rita comes ashore and slows a little. He drives an H2 also. I told him make sure you take an extra 20 gallons of gas. Any sugestons??????????

Watch and see, as this Hurricane comes and goes, there will be destruction, and some loss of life, but overall you will see Texas do very well with preparing for it, and reacting to it. Texas will also do a good job of working with the Federal Government to help people and get life back to normal in a hurry. You won't see people all stuck at a convention center or the Astrodome crying, why are they leaving us here to die. You won't see thousands of people stuck on their rooftops, and you won't see a bunch of people blaming the government for one reason or another. This hurricane is stronger than Katrina, but Texas is about to show the country that Katrinas devestation was caused by a major lack of prepardness, lack of planning, and lack of competent leadership in LA to help deal with the situation.

LMAO...that's what my brother in law in Corpus Christi is hoping for....said he and my sister are going to Whistler, Canada for a boat convention and hope the storm shutters on their home are intact when they return. BTW - your avatar is classic!

They actually had a TX official - I think it might have been Dewhurst - comment on the looting thing on Fox. They asked him if law enforcement was prepared to handle what they saw in NO...he told them he wasn't concerned, Texans are licensed to carry weapons and it's legal to use deadly force to defend life or property. There won't BE a looting problem.

Gotta love this state!

Wait. Does that mean I cannot loot and shoot at the rescue workers? Damn...so much for my new 50" Toshiba flatscreen and a tub of Heineken.
