Hey my family is still not over Katrina and now Rita is moments away from hitting us hard. Please all i can ask is your prayers for me and my family. Thank you.

 

That whole region is definately in my thoughts and prayers.

Stay safe.

 

I'm down here right now too. Right outside of New Orleans.

 

I hear ya guys .. I am here in the Houston area and I am sticking this one out. I think it won't be so bad. But we will see

 

You are making a huge mistake but good luck.

 

good luck man, i would leave if i were you...

 

I think it going to hit NO again..

 

My prayers are definitely with you guys. Hope you guys get through Rita safe and well.

 

It wasn't as bad as I thought. Living in Houston my entire life, I have been through 3 hurricanes (including RIta) and a tropical storm, you tend to look at these storms from a different perspective. Houston and the surrounding areas are actually built for hurricanes, New Orleans and parts of Louisiana are not. I think that was the major difference between the impacts of Katrina and Rita.

 

last night i stayed up till like 3 oclock just reading and watching vid clips of news reports, and footage from katrina and Rita.. and all i can say is that my thoughts are with everyone who has not only been involved with the hurricane attack.. but to everyone who is helping to get the towns back into shape.. i only wished that i could have the power and opportunity to go down there and lend a hand..
