My Target was hurt...and I was going to go there tonight to return some stuff.![]()
NW expressway and Rockwell. Had the expressway closed down for a while. Or so my wife says.
I would be a lot more sympathetic of people in hurricanes if they only had like 5 minutes of warning. Can't really complain of being caught unawares when you had days of warning leading up to it. Kind of hard for us to evacuate, and board up the house in time when the siren starts going off.
No kidding? That would be great. It's one long shallow dent that is a little over a foot long on the roof. It would be fantastic if it evens out! My poor car.
Which Target?
Not the one @ May & NW Xpwy right?

Our instructor right now is from the National Weather Service. We were actually talking about this yesterday. Katrina landed exactly where the NWS predicted it would land 3 days prior.heh. a tornado has maybe a 4th of a mile of destruction in maybe a mile path usually dishing out no more than 1 million in damage. getting hit by a nasty one is like hitting jackpot on a slot machine.
Katrina had a 3 state wide path of destruction, dealt over 80 billion in damage, and had winds as strong as the hundreds of tornados it produced. needless to say the house i boarded up wasnt there when i returned.
on top of that, saying that you have a 5 day warning for a hurricane shows that youve never lived on the gulf coast let alone tracked a hurricane. hurricanes, like tornados, have only speculation on where it will end up in 48 hours let alone 5 days so evacuating 3 or 4 times a year everytime theres a hurricane on its way is just dumb.

i'm really not trying to start a pissing match over who's severe weather is worse...that would be, well silly. All i was trying to say is katrina didn't wake anyone up in the middle of the night anawares.
And not to get shtuff rolling hard and heavy but i do recall days leading up to "impact" the talking heads saying "if you are in or near new orleons you need to evacuate."
