I\'m no expert, but I know trouble when I see it. Everybody should get out of its path now while you still have a chance. Katrina is looking to be the worst storm in the history of forever, and I advise everyone who haven\'t left to tell everyone else to get out of there, and get out of there themselves. If you or your friends think, \"Oh, it won\'t happen to me,\" well. you\'re damn wrong. Run/drive as fast as you can (within the speed limit) and go to somewhere safe. Remember: you are all targets, and Katrina isn\'t going to make any exceptions.

Dang. When those hurricanes hit last year (I can\'t even remember all the names:P) they hit my house one right after another. My mom\'s house was out of power for like 3.5 weeks. Then the clean up was horrible. We\'re still cutting up dead trees. Hurricanes jsut suck. They suck more than......something that sucks really bad.

Phew... listening to you guys, it feels good for me to know I\'m not livin\' in America... lucky me...
Hope you guys don\'t get in too much trouble with this baby, or following canes.

Woo-hoo, somone has the courage to make a topic about this, My Miamian self is touched by how much you care.

This was a suprising lil\' Hurricane, I didn\'t expect to brake 10 powers lines like cheetos causing my home to be without electricity for the next 2 weeks. So far, I\'m angry, I have to stay at Grandma\'s, It\'s not too bad, but to make up for all the resources my mom and I are taking up we have to do odd jobs for her to keep her remotely happy. As of now, I\'m gonna stay up late, eat Cherrios, and watch TV because Glades Middle School is outta power!

Yeah, it\'s been all over Fox News for quite a while now. I mean, that\'s good. It\'s certainly important.

Anyways, living in South Carolina, we don\'t really get the effects of most disasters... we don\'t really get much of anything, actually. I get 1 snow day a year if I\'m lucky.:lol:

Hey,wait a minute,my cousins name is Katrina.Its sort of funny that it is named that,if they named it that,then the newest hurricane should be called \"Hurricane Imarianna\"Thats her daughters name.I say this because she acts like a little black tornadoe cloud,and destroys anything in her path.Not only dose she do that but she also smacks you in the face too.

If it maintains its current pressure, it will be the most intense named hurricane to impact the United States in recorded history (since the naming of storms began in 1950, and second overall since 1851, when hurricanes began to be recorded), slightly stronger than Hurricane Camille\'s central pressure of 909 mb in 1969 and larger in size. As of 2 PM EDT Katrina has 906 mb. The unnamed Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 that hit the Florida Keys was slightly more powerful, with a minimum central pressure of 892 mb.

Katrina has also drawn comparison to Hurricane Betsy, which in 1965 struck New Orleans after passing over the Florida Keys, causing over $1 billion in damage and resulting in the deaths of 75 people, earning the nickname \"Billion Dollar Betsy\".

Eep....New York is kinda out of the question, right? =P

Wow thanks, I never watch the news or read the paper or go online or watch the Weather Channel.

I don\'t think it would reach me over here in Ohio but, you never know. Isn\'t the storm dying off right about now?

I hope so hope it for you. I\'ve heard that how stronger the hurricane is, the longer they can last, in some cases.
And you never know it with hurricanes. They are as unpredictable as... well, some certain kind of people... I\'d say... erm... you know which kind...

We are getting the rain from it now. It started around 11 something during my Language class. It never stopped! @___@

i agree get out while you still can if you dont your in major trouble in biloxi a mobile a new orleans dont say i didnt warn you cause i did bye bye for no and enjoy hurricane katrina:)

I think that it\'s unfortunate that the effects were this devistating, and also that much of it could have been prevented. George Bush himself said that he was dissappointed at how slow the government was to respond. He didn\'t seem to realise that he is the government, but at least he has the general idea.

The aftermath is devastating... Luckily I was far enough to just get some wind lightning and rain from the hurricane, it wasn\'t too bad for me. I feel bad for the people that lost everything.:cry:

i don\'t mean to advertise but Foamy kicks ass

(completly on topic )

thankfully no one from these boards were harmed yes/no?

Indeed, Foamy kicks said asses.

Luckily, the Superdome has been emptied out....Now they just need to work on everywhere else! =\\

I THINK that I can feal safe in Oregon right?:rolleyes:

I think now all of us US residents know of the aftermath in New Orleans. It\'s said there there is over ten-thousand dead, and many more unaccounted for. I don\'t know about the rest of you, but I feel really stupid- horrible, even, for griping about minor inconveniences after their entire city was wiped out. I almost started crying when I was watching the news. I wish there was some way I could help, but all I can offer is my prayers. Does anyone else have a thought on this?

You can offer money, if you wanted. I\'t\'s not exactly like there aren\'t any charities around and the governmemt aren\'t exactly helping as much as they should be.

If any of you are far away from the action, you can quit griping about gas prices and donate to the Red Cross. =/

Thank you FEMA and government for being so timely and helping your citizens.

I heard the Superdome had alot of dead bodies in it at one point, and smells like a sewer. Why are people still going there..?

Great Idea here!!!
