Oooo good luck Kelly!

If the hurricane makes landfall at a cat 4/5, im in a part of SE houston that will have to be evacuated... My mom is freaking out about me staying here. Im not worried about flooding (2nd floor apartment), but more so of the wind damage. So ill be headed to my mom's over off 290 sometime tomorrow.

I'm thinking about you guys, if you can leave, do it... if not, like poor Tweety, just stay as safe as you can! And think positive, Rita might still take a turn up this way!

For anyone thinking about riding this storm out, forget it and leave.

As of 10pm, Rita is now the third strongest storm ever recorded and it has two more days to gain strength before making landfall.

This storm is stronger than Katrina. Winds are 175mph and pressure has fallen to 897 millibars and its only gonna get stronger.

Tweety, got the garage ready for our cars to get to know each other and got the beer and rum ready. :beerchug: Going tonight to fill up all the vehicles...predictions now is that gas could get as high as $5/gallon, and get munchies in case the power goes out. I am 35 miles outside of Austin and they are predicting that we will get Cat. 1/2 winds with maybe 2-6 inches of rain. Who knows, but we will be prepared! Going to be crazy, but we will at least be safe and Tweety's car and mine will be safe in the garage. :thumpupn:

Good for you Stang Girl, thats a lot better than her staying down there trying to ride that thing out. Sounds like a Party in Bastrop!

Tweety's husband and my wonderful other half grew up together so it should be somewhat fun listening to stories about when they were kids...You know, gotta look out for your friends and family. We would do anything for them... :thumpupn:

Mark and Keli (Tweety) will be on there way shortly, I have talked with them twice on the phone today, Mark is a childhood friend of mine, since we were knee-high to a weed.
Them and another friend and his spouse will be staying with Stang Girl and I till this blows over, I will prolly also go and help them both asses the damages as soon as thier ready to head back home, and allow them to hang out till they get rebuilt and on thier feet.

Please keep them and everyone else in your prayers as they will need it.

JeffGlad to hear it. I was worried about Tweety and everyone out that way. I gave Tweety this website address that we (the Air Force) use to track the hurricanes: http://www.boatus.com/hurricanes/tracking.asp it is a pretty good site. So hopefully it will help some of you. Do not take chances you life is more important.

I work for a Ford custom fabrication/performance shop here north of Austin, and since we're expecting high winds we're preparing by moving all the Mustangs in the shop and stacking them on lifts and below them, although I still have to make the trip one more time tomorrow to put in a stall converter for a boosted Mach 1 and finallize battoning the hatches down.
