I remember that day, it was hectic my brother was panicking. . .my mom saw the news about how Rita was threatening 2 hit us and she looked pretty menacing. We decided 2 go 2 Austin which it would normally take 2 and a half hours. But when my stepdad 2ook us 2 get out of her way, we evacuated 2 Austin it 2ook 11 hours 2 get there, but next time people should wait 4 people 4rm the coast 2 leave then the city that is an hour near the coast. Houston can never survive a cat 3, 4, or 5 hurricane.

17 hours in traffic just to get to San Antonio, 5 hours in line just to get gas (security was present) and a week and a half with no power or water. It sucked really big balls.

I live on the feeder lane of I-59 near downtown, the freeway was so empty i took a bucket of golfballs out and stood on the main lanes driving balls, and laughing at the fools evacuating.

For some odd reason I decided to stick it out in my 1960's built apartment off of Montrose and RichmoProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0 Ave. Power went out for a bit in my section, but messed up a crap load of other units. I was really lucky. Oh man was it crazy%2

I remember those times.
It was kind of fun running around in the streets with no one telling you what to do but it sucked that there was a curfew, I understand people be looting and I know I wouldn't.
Anyways it was great that we got spared but sad that some areas got hit. :(

1:54 right on!

I tried to evacuate, said fuck this, and went home. The traffic was unbelievable. I started drinking, and when I woke up, went cruising a ghost city. 1-10 was littered with abandoned cars for miles.

You know what's gay? When bastards take advantage and steal the neighbor's stuff since they already evacuated and what pisses me off more is that some adults actually join instead of acting like one.

I remember when it became a CAT 5 I got really nervous and started to wonder if staying was the right choice. I prayed my butt off and when that thing shifted course and lost power I was so bloody happy. The wind was still pretty strong. So imagine if Houston got hit directly with a 4 or 3. My house probally would have been gone. Even though nothing happened I'm glad people took it seriously you never know.
