Hurricane Rita - Visible/Infra-Red Satellite Loop

You should see mine!

The exodus of Houston was horrendous, it took 3 days to go 81 miles. At night a sea of red taillights! I was separated from my family, there was no place to escape to because there was no gas! I'm still stuck here, because FEMA would not help me get back to TX. They forced me to leave, family in Chicago was the only place for me to go, my car broke down, tried to return after car was repaired, only to break down again, then back to Chicago. Rita and FEMA ruined our lives, and no one cares! Sux

@jinthral Surely you have recovered from this by now, it's only been 5+ years.

[GermanOperaSinger]

More people were killed evacuating like mad than as a direct result of the actual storm. Just shows how unpredictable the models can be.

Thank God it didn't directly hit Houston, I was scare by looking at the radar when Rita hit as high as 185 mph out in the Gulf of Mexico

[irisom]

Awesome!!! I knew there had to be some intelligent live around here, lol.

[irisom]

No, not "everyone" got scared and evacuated because I stayed for both Ike AND Rita, yet I'm a girl. It gives me the shits how all these "real" XY males, with the audacity to tell me that I will never be a boy since I can never grow a functional penis, got in their little trucks and left like sissy babies going to Mama.

[alexthekit]

I HATE Hurricane Rita. I have to leave Louisiana because of her =[

COMPARING RITA TO KATRINA

who do you think will win the battle???

[Undertaker5712]

Rita because it is more powerful.

but in damage in money definetly Katrina.

[jkingsmill]

This was the one that was supposed to hit Galveston but didn't and caused the massive evacuation chaos. This is why no one left for Ike.

rita lost her eye b4 land fall

[akajinxlawl]

Will never forget the sound that night...

[thegreywolf5]

i live in kaplan louisiana and i hated this hurricane because we got hit at night

[robbshultz]

it does not seem like that long ago. Some people are still recovering and some have not returned. We are near Toledo Bend Lake and the destruction was large even that far inland. People standing in line for hours and hours for generators and fuel even 9 days later

[airdrieball]

mmmm...not the most impressing hurricane 'i've' seen.. not very big or destrucitve either...I should know I was in that..so no1 argue because I know what it was like

[BigQ15]
