well.... a hurricane is headed for new orleans (200 mi east of me) its gonna be a category 4...
sometimes hurricanes shift course and the weather ppl dont expect it to.
after monday if im not on for a while thats what happened.
i might evacuate i might not...
****! this sucks
i dont want it to hit here... and i dont want to say "i wish it would hit new orleans" beacuse theyre below sealevel...
this thing's already torn through florida so its either theyre screwed or im screwed...


edit:

the blue dot on the texas coast is where i am. as for me where i live if it hits me im royally f***ed

I was actually very lucky where I was and didn't have any damage to my home or anything. Also didn't have any flooding where I was, so I was very lucky compared to other parts of Miami (mainly north).

dam, that sucks.

[CongressJon]

Ew... Actually, though, hope that it doesn't hit New Orleans. If it were to hit, as a category four... The whole city would be underwater. No joke.

[JGJTan]

My god that sounds scary.

I hope it doesn't effect either town since in both cases it'll be bad. Actually I hope it doesn't hit any town at all. Although I have no idea what a hurricane is like since I don't live in America... we only get floods or earthquakes.

Err... obviously there is some sort of hurricane scale so what is a four like?

Typhoons arn't different terms, they are different storms. They originate in different places and swirl in different ways, like toilet flushes.

we australians are lucky, i dont think weve had any natural disasters since around 1950-ish, or at least thats what ive read.

well, hope everything turns out for the best, and that silly hurricane decides it wants to go away before it hits anything else.

[Ratty]

Yeah, australians dont get much at all

I hope that it doesnt reach you, and that ya dont have to evacuate

CATEGORY 4
Winds: 131 to 155 mph

Damage: Extreme; almost total destruction of doors, windows. Some wall and roof failure. Major damage to lower floors of oceanfront buildings. Evacuations up to 6 miles inland. Pressure 27.17 to 27.90 inches accompanied by a storm surge of 13 to 18 feet.. Hurricanes Andrew, Hugo, and Hazel were Category 4 storms.

Owwie..... Hope it isnt that bad :\

[Jake]

its a 5 now... 155 mi per hour and up.... its 160 now and it still has a day till it hits... i doubt it'll hit me so far its beeen fairly predictable.

we cant earthquakes but we can get hurricanes and tornados.

We had a hurricane in Denmark a few years back. It was really odd, cause my city was right in the eye of the hurricane, where there's nothing. So we had a clear sky with no wind at all, and on the TV you could see pictures from other cities with heavy rain and wind. Odd.

Didn't you have some sandstorm thing in one city sometime? I seem to recall something about it.

[Charlie]

ooo that sounds bad. Yes move to erm.. England hardly anything hits England. Yes but seriously i hope ya gonna be ok. You probably will if it happens often but...

[Darkness]

We don't get much in Cali.... A few earthquakes hit, some volcanoes farther north than me... That kinda stuff.
