Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 It is incredible to me, that level of complacency from some of our citizens, even in the light of Katrina.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Wes, Your hotel manager is uninformed. We have plenty of motel rooms available right here in Albany and several Bed and Breakfasts. And you can watch the deer and the antelope play.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 2200 hours: San news reported that ALL hotels/motels in the city of San are full. Also, a severe shortage of bottled water, batteries, flashlights and gas cans. A lot of people in San have never been through anything like this before. Listening to the news, I'm thinking to myself about the kids' toys, etc on the deck in the backyard, just like we always tell people the unsecured items in cars can become missiles when slamming on the brakes, this stuff on your back porch will be the same way. Even here in San they are telling us to expect winds of up to 70+ MPH. Please everyone be careful. Everyone prepare.... Cristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 and I were out and about town (Tyler) tonight. There are lines 3 & 4 cars deep at every gas station that has gas. Some are already sold out. Wal-Mart is a mad house (well more so than usual). There are no " D " Cell batteries anywhere to be found. Gasoline cans are gone, flashlights, candles, non-perishable foods are all very low supply. We have friends that were in , MS when Katrina came in. It's amazing at the similarities in the relationships between New Orleans / as Houston / Tyler. They were without power about a week in and the water was not safe to drink for much longer. I agree the complacency with this storm is amazing. My brother, sister-in-law, & nephew are in Orange and are only planning to go as far north as Newton (if needed). They are not making any other preparations at all. I have cousins in Houston and they have no plans to leave. According to NOAA http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastint.shtml the most intense (lowest pressure) recorded during a hurricane to hit the US was an unnamed storm in 1935 over the Florida Keys. It registered at 892mb with peak winds of 165mph. As of 21:30 CST Rita was at 897, with sustained winds of 170mph ranking it #2 all time. Our thoughts and prayers are with those that are on and along the coast, but many more of us may need it before this one is said and done.
