    If I'm not mistaken there are no levies in houston or gavelston, there were levies in New Orleans cause Napolean decided to make a city in a hole, like wtf maybe?

    I'm unna die if Rita cuts North anymore,I live in shreveport, Louisiana. About Iunoo maybe 400 miles from houston, but if it cuts north its headin right for us...

    Mother Nature doesn't want us destructive Homo sapiens on her planet :eek: Good, let's all go to Mars!


    Little kids that read every thread...don't get immature about my Genus species name for human beings <_< It's called "Science".


    It is quite about what's happening, except for the people that refuse to leave, it's their problem if they die, honestly, I'm not being rude, it's just the cold hard truth.

    Yeah, it might die down when it hits the land.. Its heading for houston tx. I got this today from my hosting company.. Thank god they are professional..

    Should the hurricane make a direct path for the upper Texas coast, we will
    operate our core services with a limited staff so that the bulk of our employees
    can be with their families.

    Employees will be on hand to handle emergency repairs and tickets. Routine
    tickets and upgrades will most probably have a delayed response.

    As an extra precaution, we have even sourced an additional rental generator.
    While this unit would not be needed for a brief outage, if we were top
    experience a loss of power lasting several days, we would need to perform normal
    maintenance on our generators, and this would give us a generator to run while
    that maintenance is taking place. Maintenance such as oil changes is required
    under our operating specifications every 100 to 150 hours, meaning that we would
    need to perform maintenance sometime after 4-5 days.

    All total, we have in excess of 10,000 gallons of fuel on site. We have
    guaranteed contracts for fuel delivery and two fuel depots are located within 2
    miles of our facility.

    Our staff is working to ensure an uninterrupted continuity of service.

    We anticipate that the coming storm will have no impact on our operations.
    However, we are prepared to deal with any eventuality.
