If I was gonna be down this way on tuesday, from up there where you are...I would eat the miles and stay on I-30 to Dallas. Talk with your dispatch..they may pay you to skirt around the storm path if you need to.

I "should" be ok from the looks of it. I plan on being in Laredo before 5pm eastern on Tuesday. Looks like I might fight it coming back north/east though.

Latest report is this hurricane is just short of a category 5, so DON"T MESS AROUND if you are in the area it will hit. Get out, Get out!!

The towers may be in emergency use only...or everyone else in the country is trying to call out.... Hopefully your family is already on the move headed north out of there... Best of luck to you!! and your family!!!

I live in SW FL...right where Charley came ashore....been through a few of them...not fun.

Yah, like the dude that did that with a wing chute during Fay....got bounced off the beach like rubber ball, then back up into the air....and crashed into the side of a hotel....he probably thought he was "invincible" too.... If he survives all the broken bones and internal injuries...he will probably have more metal in his body than the 6 million dollar man.....

Some idiots I know stayed in Punta Gorda when Charley came ashore as a 4, and got the crap scared out of them....they saw stuff flying through the air that never should have gotten "airborne"..... Its not the wind that gets you....its all the :dung: in the wind that gets you..... :shock:

It's still looking good for a Port of Fourchon land fall! That means I be in good shape! I will continue to talk with my good friend, and hope he sees things my way....Otherwise I know this chick the otherside of downtown..She is BIGTIME into the "VooDoo" medicine!! :P :P :P

Rob...where is your barge camped out at?? Below Tampa you say?? :wink:

You may think you are ( invincible ) but please don't make those of us who aren't ( rescue workers ) risk our lives when you find out your not.

my only weakness is a hot brunette with green or blue eyes. ladies with jet black hair seem to have the same effect on me, too. then there are the red-heads. the ones with green eyes really get me going. going so much that i cannot think straight!
