82 5A State Champs

I still think it's too late for it. What they're gonna end up with is 250,000+ people on the road, going the same direction at the same time, and all having fuel issues.....just like with Rita! No thanks! I'm staying at the house. I figure I'm safer here than out on the roads.

I would imagine that BISD would soon follow suit.

I just dont understand why they would wait so long to issue that! ???

They're not stupid, they just waited too long to give the evacuation order.

I wanna know the genious (sp) who sent the freaking buses to south texas. ....with the rest of the available funding!!! It's my understanding that there will be no evacuations provided by local governments either. Basically, we're on our own!!

Then settle down a bit, please. At this point, unless you want to spend the next 20 hours or so in a car trying to evacuate, there's probably not a whole lot we can do except prepare ourselves for a long couple of days.

geez kicker, you sound like you are really stressed. Are you a public official?

And this is suppose to be a Cat "what" when it makes landfall? 4?

Good points and very well said!

Well FINALLY!!! Somebody bent over and pulled their head out of their.........never mind!

To jump on the bandwagon and cancel school till this thing passes!

Yeah, I noticed the state of LA got themselves a new governor since Katrina, too! Funny how those things seem to happen.

Awe come on, man! Haven't you heard the sound of dragging feet?

It's a little odd that more people here are more worked up about this than people in Galveston... Thats cause we took a direct hit from Rita. We are a little gun shy!

See 3 posts above!

WE TOD ID! ;D

one karma point for you! ;D

most of the models on www.stormpulse.com show that thing making landfall in the neighborhood of Corpus Christi, Port O'Connor, and Galveston. Hopefully it will not move much further north than projected.

yes Yoda!

Well, I think they realized that they've messed up with the evacuations over the past couple of weeks. They pulled the trigger too soon with Gustav, and nothing happened. And now they've waited too long to order it for our area. This late in the game, if they ordered an evac then it would just make a bad situation on the roadways, worse. The best option, IMO, is for people to just stay put. HAve you noticed that BISD has not cancelled school, either?

Well, if we are left in a bind then you can thank your elected leaders for that!

Thank You!!! If he keeps it up, I'm just gonna start deleting his posts!

I do understand the good side and the bad side of a storm, buddy! I was simply saying to calm down. We will most likely not see the kind of damage that Rita created if it makes landfall in Freeport. Making comments like the one's you made only make alot of people more ancy.
