Nope, not any more. Only do the local stuff now. Besides, I just had double hernia repair so somebody would have to come get me right now. :lol:

I hope you didn't think I was refering to you sticking it out there. I was only refering to the folke that REALLY want to temp fate.

I was there for both Katrina and Rita. Two totally different mind-sets. One was just sitting around waiting for someone to do something while the other ( Texas ) was out there making things happen. If I ever leave Ga. my next stop will be Tx. I like the way you ( the state ) thinks.

LOL...I'm sorta disgusted with the whole deal right now.....they shifted into panic mode this morning..and nobody knows yet where it's landing..though Port of Fourchon looks real good.


If you was down here for Rita...then a belated THANKS Dude!

LOL.....I worked my butt off after Rita...hot miserable work and mosquitoes! We hauled over 800 loads of debris out of 2 plants here, plus continued hauling debris out of the company plants in the NOLA area and in Pascagoula that Katrina damaged...the control room at Pascagoula was rebuilt after Camellia they told me. It was built 24 feet above ground to place it 4 feet hire than the surge from Camellia...the surge from Katrina was 8 feet above the roof of the Control room.


I'm going to stay right here at the house until tomorrow afternoon. Yeah..I'll get ready for the bad..but continue hoping for the good....which means NOLA gets hammered!


Take it easy as you heal the Ridge.

Well you prepared yourself well to ride out a rough time but your smart enough to know when to get out. Wishing you the best!!!

Well, time for me to go have my fun I guess. Never thought I'd be trying to outrun an oncoming hurricane. I'll run west on I-40, I-30 into Dallas, then head due south. It looks like I'll probably be fighting a good bit of the outer bands, but shouldn't get the worst of it.

Time will tell.

I'll post updates when I can.

Safe trip Dude. US59 is the shortest road from Texarkana to laredo....but US59 is going to be hammered the next 2 days with "Panickers" ....so your best to stay north and west. Take I-35 south out of Dallas to San Antonio and Laredo.
