Warrior General Games

First he messes up my LSU game by making it at the crack of dawn.. then i have to evacuate.. bastard!

Stay safe! Those of us in Houston are watching Gustav too!

My mom is in a beach house about 10 miles south of Galveston. Hope everyone and their families take proper precautions and stay out of harm's way.

Hope you guys are all alright

We're lucky - Our natural hazards are minimal risk. Guess that's what we get for being on a nice little island!

stay safe.

I slept through an earthquake once.
Good luck guys >_>

My family is evacuating from Mandeville. Hope everybody is safe.

good luck to you all, stay safe.

Keep safe...

i spoke to one of my boys still in N.O. a couple of hours ago. this cat survived hurricane katrina, being stuck in his attic for 3 days (some house I wouldve been staying in but i moved to las vegas at the last minute). he told me he's not leaving. he really wants to but his family is being stubborn and wants to stay, and he doesn't want to abandon his family. here's to hoping everything turns out ok...

Katrina was so bad last time because people had the "not moving" attitude. When will they learn? Nature stops for no man.

The Hattiesburg Hangovers are keeping a close eye on Gustav as well. we don't need another big Hurricane, Katrina was hell.

Best of luck to everyone, especially those just south of us.

safe and sound in pensacola florida...

good luck to everyone

Katrina was so bad because we trusted the local and federal government to build us levees for protection. The lesson learned...The government sucks at building levees, and the ones they just built are gonna come tumbling down and everyone knows it, therefore every one is going to evacuate.

Seems not everyone has left.

Agreed that your government is utterly inadequate (but who elected them?).

The problem isn't solely that the increased rainfall and winds cause damage, but that the storm surge floods the seafront AND the river, and the rainfall allows the river to flood upsteam, creating a pileup of floodwater downstream, and this essentially wouldn't give many levées much chance. There's literally nowhere for the water to go but laterally. Building on a floodplain FTL.

Things like this issue are something that I'd like to do for a living actually, because it's interesting and helps people.

Best of luck to those of you with property there. At least you're safe yourselves, if not your belongings, too.
