Good Lord...its just been upgraded to a Category 5.

if it hasnt changed direction, getting this strong now is kinda a good thing...it's rare for a storm to sustain a category 5 strength.

it will probably hit land a high 3 or low 4.

still thats nothing to take lightly. but unless it drops to a 4 then comes back up to a 5 (rare) then this is a better than worse case scenerio

I'm keeping an eye on it...Waco is a good distance from Galveston...bout 2 1/2-3 hours.  But someone really has it in for those New Orleans folk.  They are being chased out of Texas.

All we need to do is bring some honkin' big icebergs into the gulf, and let them melt and cool the waters.  Then turn on the big-ass fans and blow those sumbitches neutral.

Thank you.  My genius is never-ending.

Native Americans are laughing their asses off at this. "Yeah, we've heard that one before. Let's see how you fargers like it for a change!"

Hahaha...i worked the front desk at the station today.  I had an old senile come in with an illustration and narrative about how to stop the Hurricane.  He wanted the phone number to the DoD to submit his stuff.  He wants the Prez to drop 200-300 bombs in the Hurrcane to disrupt the rotationg and force it to dissipate.  I tried not to laugh at the poor old guy, but it was tough.  He even asked me three times if he sounded crazy.  Poor old dude!

Galveston might get wiped out again. I don't think they have an accurate idea of where this one is going to land yet but they're clearing people out of Houston area.

Another problem is that if New Orleans even gets like 3-4 inches of rain, it will break the levees again. And on its current path, 3-4 inches is about what NO will get.

Yeah, it just turned more to the north.  Now it's headed directly at Houston.  Here comes all the Houston trash...straight up I-45.
