well it's out of south Florida hairs but it may hit up in the panhandle, go through Georgia or Alabama perhaps..we shall see. it's up to category 2 w/ the warm temperatures in the gulf of Mexico.

any teams that in the projected path and every family too.. i pray you all keep safe... these storms are no joke..

4 people died down south i read b/c they were out and about. stay inside it may be a low category but does a lot of damaged.. over 1 million people out of power still....

just a quickie update for anyone who isn't paying attention to this storm...

5 people are still missing as well.

I wish all of the people on the panhandle and the rest of the gulf coast well as Hurricane Katrina approches.

wow, has anyone else noticed how the whole earth is having weird weather. I mean its not only places like US, but Durham region, and Markham (next to toronto) had floods, and heavy winds...(it's pretty uncommon here, I dont think that we've had floods here)

also, while I was in Mumbai (aka Bombay, India), it was monsoon season. that means that there is the occational small flood....this time it poured about 1 metre in a day! that set a new world record. Luckily for me, my friends and family didn't get affected much in that flood, except my cousin, who decided to walk through that for about 5 hours(getting home from college) but he's safe...but, LOT of people died though, and now there's lots of water-bourne diseases getting people, and killing people too. It's really sad if you think about all the helpless people dying from drowning, and diseases.


These are just a couple of examples of the odd weather going on around the globe, theres probably a lot more going on that I don't know about.

I talked to my parents on friday afternoon, eye went right over our house. He said that no one in the neighborhood was prepared becuase all the tv/paper/hurricane center said that it wouldnt be much of a storm. The power was still out and had been since 4pm on thursday. We fared well but friends further south lost thier roof and have a foot of water in thier house.

new update: 7 people are dead now

and one person is suffering due to lack of power and hence he is not on cd -- please send your prayers to arefin bari. quote: "i need my powerrrrrrrrr backkkkkkkkkkk and i miss chiefdelphiiiiiiii"

i actually got power back 2 hours ago, finally. and there are still people who don't have power =(

[Arefin Bari]

Next time... I am going to take a gun and go out there after the hurricane. I have been sweating way too much since thursday night.

... but... I am back.

I missed Chiefdelphi.

As far as I know everyone around is safe.

175 mph winds with dropping pressure. I believe that speaks for itself.

For those in the New Orleans area and/or others in the path of this storm, stay safe and get out before its too late. Good luck.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends to the south.

[Arefin Bari]

Just a headup to everyone.... please be prepared forehand. You are not going to like it when you don't have any supplies after the hurricane makes all it's damages. I am a victim and I know how it feels like. Put shutters up now, if possible get a backup generator for your house. It really helps.

Our prayers are with you.

Yes this hurricane is huge. Hurricane Andrew (which i was in when i was 4) was only 140 mph -- and this is 175 mph -- no joke. we have damage all over our complex due to the tropical storm winds ... about 1/9 of what it is now. well maybe a bit stronger.

Please everyone take care and prepare. Batteries, generators, WATER, radios, edible food, charge your phones -- don't overlook anything. i'm wondering what New Orleans is going to do -- the city's below sea level as it is.

Our prayers ARE with you --

I totally second Neha's comments. Though I have never been in a hurricane myself, I know the damage and devastation that they can cause. President Bush called the Governor of Louisiana this morning and requested that everyone be evacuated from at least the New Orleans area.

This one is huge and there is nothing stopping it.
