Very scary storm at this point. Dr. Lyons, reknowned Hurricane expert, was just on TWC and he said that Rita is an F-3 Tornado/Category 5 Hurricane. That is a monster storm the power of a major tornado, 360 miles wide, and a Category 5. :bang:

I've never heard them categorize a Hurricane in terms of tornado strength.

He said that anyone on the western Louisiana gulfcoast and all along the gulfcoast of Texas should watch this storm closely and evacuate the area. He said that it may weaken to Cat 4 or so but may not. :bang:

We pray for everyone in this storms path. All stay safe.

Poor guy! Glad to hear at least they gave him a free hotel room! Might have been for the best....it's cleared up here this morning..overcast but no rain, so he should have smooth sailing (flying!).

Poor guy my foot! He had chances to rectify the situation, but gave up way too easily in our book. He did make it back to campus around 11 this morning. We did have a great visit...he really came home to see Molly...so cute!

Must be CIA. If he ever makes it to Columbia, tell him to bring us back some Muzo Mine Emeralds, but not in any Bricks since the border guards are supposedly all Aliens and can use their tentacles to sniff them out. :razz:
