There are some adrenaline junkies who will stay and stand toe to toe with Mother Nature's Cat Five Hurricane Rita. They will stand tall against the inevitable potentiality, but for those on the Coast, who do this, we wish you well and it was nice knowing you. For those who do not have fortified locations on higher ground, it is best time you be leaving the area. When leaving to a safer location which is East of the area, but you are unsure of the location, you need to ask yourself how did it fair during Hurricane Katrina. For those who think they are safe in North Houston, be advised almost anywhere you go you will get wet? It will be Flooded going East or South unless of course you are willing to drive all the way into Mexico. The storm will eventually catch you if you go North or West, unless you drive past San Antonio and up into the hills, that is not such a bad drive, but traffic, forget you me? If you go, North then it would be best to go all the way to the Northern Dallas suburbs. The traffic will be completely a mess for every hour of normal driving add 8-hours for additional traffic. Speaking of which ever wonder what they are going to do in the other LA when they get the big Earthquake? It will be worse than the 1985 Mexico City quake, which is also now overdo for a seismic event and now they have over 20 million people and a semi-potentially active volcano? The roads in our civilization and ground transportation components simply are not fluid enough for this level of chaos from a Category Five Super Storm like Hurricane Rita. If you lived thru tropical storm Allison then staying put might be a worthy concept depending on how high you are in elevation, however if it got flooded there then, it could easily get flooded now. Additionally if you live within 35 miles of the coast, it would be a very poor choice to stay unless you are will protected in a very strong building. Remember the best time to build an ark? Well, Noah did that before the storm. Think on this. |
