Title: Hurricane Katrina - May be gone for a while
Post by: Tbone on August 28, 2005, 01:13:53 pm

Hurricane Katrina is up to a category 5. I live maybe an hour from the coast and the center of the storm is coming right through where I live. Power might go out or something like that, so just giving fair warning.

Category 5 is bad, very bad grim. New Or, is expecting 30 feet worth of water in town, and guess what the flood gate are only up to 12 feet. 185+ mph wind, lots and lots of rain. Maybe a few tornados, Lets just say its going to be a bitch. (your name is Katrina?)

yeah. for a little cat1, katrina sure caused quite the hulabaloo down here. me and my best friend were the only 2 blocks that didnt lose power for a good 3 square miles. lost cable and phone tho, so go figure. not alot of water, just pure wind, turned up alot of trees for a cat1. i sure dont want to see her as a cat5 ill tell ya that. she might be worst than andrew.

Just to let everyone know, the hurricane hit land at a Cat4, some of the northern part hit landfall at cat5, but to the record books, it's only a cat4 cane. And most likely the most expensive hurricane to ever hit landfall.

Radom fact, I just saw the street I used to live on in Bilxoi, MS, yea my house is nothing more then a  slab now.

Yeah, the Air Force Exiled me to Biloxi twice, it would wreck my good memories of the place to see it like that.

I think Tbone is farther inland that any of the major damage areas. He got a Cat1/Cat2 storm, but not what the coast got. MS Gov told Bush "not to come".

Hey guys. Just letting you know I'm safe. The eye of Katrina hit my town, Hattiesburg, at category 3 and completely devastated the area. You don't hear about it on the news because they are focusing on the coast. Everything has been destroyed. Literally everything. My dad drove down from Greenville with jugs of gas in his trunk so that I could fill up my car and try to drive out of there and to safety (which is how I am here now).

Rumor has it that Hattiesburg won't have power or water for 4-5 weeks. I drove around (best I could - most roads are completely blocked) and saw that most businesses, houses, apartments, trees, power lines, and street equipment are destroyed. There also isn't power for a 100 mile radius of Hattiesburg. Driving back to Greenville (which is in Northwest MS), I didn't see towns with power until I was very close to home. Please keep your thoughts and prayers with all this people. I'm gonna go turn on the news to find out what happened to everyone else.

I've been keeping track of alot of the news, too. That really sucks for you. At least your safe, I just hope all your friends and family can say the same.

Watched lots of footage on CNN, Fox, and MSNBC last night.  Absolutely crazy.  I've been joking around with my dopey wind song lyrics, but really, I hope everyone is alive and well.

Post by: Fuse on August 31, 2005, 12:55:56 pm

Hey Cory, glad your safe. I wish the same could be said for the towns. It is amazing the devastation I've seen jst watching TV. I can't imagine what it's like being there and having your home, work, and life just obliterated like that.

Again, I'm glad your safe. Good luck with the rebuild, school, and everything else. Do we know anyone else from that area?

Good to here you are safe Tbone, but looking at pictures on the news it seems many people were not so lucky.

When the government tells you to get the hell out, it is a good idea to do just that.

Title: Hurricane Katrina - May be gone for a while
Post by: Tbone on August 31, 2005, 05:05:08 pm

Originally they told us school would be cancelled on Monday and would resume on Tuesday. Now I'm hearing it is postponed until further notice. At the earliest it will be two weeks and it is estimated to be 4-5 weeks. The weird thing is, it is all rumors. You can't get any information in or out of Hattiesburg, so the university has no way of contacting us to tell us what the status is.

I was with a couple of people who had family on the coast and they were freaking out because they couldn't get in touch with anyone. It was really frightening.

I'm headed back to Hattiesburg. From what I understand, my apartments still don't have cable or internet yet, so it may be a few days before you hear from me. Next time I login, however, I should have full access again and will be hoping to try out that Pandora's Box!

Apparently it came on while I was on the road. How's that for timing, biatches? Who wants to do this box thingy?
