Anyone else on the Gulf coast? I'm in Louisiana. Supposed to be hardcore flooding. Already stocked up on supplies. I say as faithful newgrounds users, @tomfulp should let us LA/TX folks come stay with him. We can help with housework and the kids!
I had to stay in a shelter after Rita. Hurricanes make me anxious.

Maybe if we build a massive wall along the gulf we can keep the hurricanes from entering the country, though I'm sure some are good people.
Seriously though, good luck to those in the path; hopefully it won't be too crazy.

I expect our watches and warnings to be issued this weekend.
I'm actually planning a vacation to Florida on Labor Day weekend. We'll see what happens!

I guess you have blizzards. If you need somewhere to go come January, holla.

And the Gulf of Mexico can pay for the wall!

The only thing I have to worry about on the west coast are earthquakes. Most of them are small tremors you don't really notice, but there a few that can definitely be felt.

Just admit you're from Detroit.
It's okay.

It'll be good for you though. You can chill Que Sera, Sera style, which is a great way to deal with a hurricane.
I have good insurance, but I don't want to leave my house during a hurricane, because my cats.
I love my cats.

I lived out west in the 80s. I was very young, but I remember that real bad one. All the overpasses collapsed.

i mean, we get typhoons here in taiwan, but the mountains around hsinchu break up all of them before they can hit us here on the west coast
I didn't know you were in Taiwan, neat! Where are you originally from?

Well played Sek. This is indeed exactly what I was talking about.
There are also many people who "aren't from Memphis" who nevertheless manage to spend all their time here.

I'm a sucker for snow. I know you guys hate shoveling it, but I never get to see it and I love it.
I might come up there, for a blizzard
Anyway, our governor has declared a state of emergency and apparently Texas doesn't do contraflow on the interstate , because my friends trying to evacuate are stuck in gridlock.
And Funk thinks hurricanes are racist or something, you guys lost me there.

There's usually only a handful of summer days here that break the 90 degree barrier.
I read about places having 110+ degree days and I wonder how people can stand it.
Yeah it was upper 90s when I left work every day this week. Combined with the insane humidity, it was awful.

This is going to be historic flooding.

Maybe they'll go back to nawleans where they belong and Houston won't be a trashy city anymore
Oh no
New Orleans is still full of them.
And my city, a lot came here too.
But we could have an entire separate thread about Katrina/New Orleans/how all that pisses me off.

I lived though. Can't complain.

It appears it's going to stall, and rain on you forever, and flooding is the big deal.
How has it been where you live during other hurricanes?

I actually just shared this on my FB.
I have a lot of friends in that area who are not taking it seriously at all.
We have the science and technology available to warn you that you can expect 20-30 inches of rain, and you won't leave???

well it made land as a cat 4 oh man

Looking better for Louisiana in terms of not much wind headed this way, but still flooding and tornado risk.
Looking worse for Texas, in terms of days of heavy rain.
