Yep. Rice U let out today and campus is closed tomorrow and friday. Houston is a mess right now with people running around, we've already packed up our shit and I'm headed to Dallas tomorrow.

Come hang out, ap. Or, if, for some odd reason, you go through Waco, go shop with Amanda.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

I checked this morning and it was a weak Catagory 2. Wow, I never wouldv'e expected it to kick up to a Catagory 5 already. Now I'm going to be glued to this hurricane until it makes landfall.

EDIT:

It's a nicely shaped storm O_o Which means bad news.



Kansas City seems to be in the projected path =O

Yes, this storm is going to tear shit up. It's chilling at 904 mb now which makes it the 5th most powerful storm in history, and it has a temperature differential of 21 degrees celsius. That means that it is incredibly well shaped and will be very resistant to change or weakening due to water temperature.

Below sea level or not, that storm is going to tear people new a**holes. Unless the water is extremely cool along the coast of Texas (which it isn't) that storm is setup to do some of the worst structural damage in history. Realize that Houston is one of the largest cities in the US (#5 or something?).

There is a good chance that it will get even stronger before this weekend.. maybe 180mph? If that sucker gets down to 890 mb, it will be the most powerful on record.

My parents' house is in Katy and there's a chance it might get completely destroyed

With the temperature differential there's a chance it could sustain winds well over 180mph if the conditions are perfect. I really, really hope the pressure doesn't start getting much lower than 904 mb, although the most severe hurricane ever (Gilbert) had a pressure of 888mb.

[talisman]

conditions are reportedly only going to be "perfect" for another day or so... I think this will weaken considerably to a cat 4 (like Katrina) before it makes landfall. If you read weather.com's article on it there's alot more specific details and whatnot.

[jewpinthethird]

Haha. Red states.

Katrina, then this..its been a bad hurricane season this year...
