Our area is far enough away from the coast that we probably won't see much from this but this is still somewhat scary...

It was upgraded to Cat 4 at like 11:00 last night, IIRC. They said the conditions are right for it to get to cat 5 but its not expected to get to cat 5, just enough to stay cat 4(maybe). |

Galveston is screwed, Houston is goin to be hit hard (all the astrodome guys have been evacuated to arkansas) Our game has been scheduled to thursday @ night, classes canceled for friday. just one thing i dont get, is how i am getting mixed reports in. I hear that it is going to be hitting us (college station) with 120+ mph winds on saturday night, and i've also heard the probability of it actually making this far is less than 50%, and these are all from the newspaper/dean of the college. Fattino, can i come live with you over the weekend? |

well, today it took me 45minutes to pump about 10 gallons worth o gas in my lil 88 supra, gas was 2.79, which is cheap considering the circumstances and demand. They have changed I-45 to a 4 lane highway, making it only drivable going south to north. My university isnt in the direct path of the storm, but we will get some wind/rain/etc but classes are scheduled to be held on monday as scheduled, but getting back to college station is going to be a pain in the ass. so should i stay, or should i go? |

I would probably stay. If I remember correctly, College Station / Bryan, Texas isn't too close to the coast. It's like an hour or two from Austin, right? Anyway, I'd probably just chill there. Up to you, though. |

I live in Plano which is like 20 mins from Dallas. I'm kind of looking forward to the stormy weather here. But I hope everyone that's in the path will be safe, Take shelter if you can't leave. |

it looks like it will be hitting beaumont or lake charles head on, but houston will still get hit hard with the arms of the hurricane. and new orleans has 3 more levee breaks and is reflooding, according to the news, so that really sucks. gl to whoever is in that whole area. |
