I doubt you're going to get much of anything if she hits so far Northeast of you. Just sit back, relax, have a couple drinks, and make sure you're prepared for the power to go out.

The weather channel showed a shot from a subscription website that shows a graphic of all air traffic. The traffic over Texas was nuts...mostly private with a few commercials in the air.

Yep I live about 135 miles from where Katrena made land fall, 11 days w/out phone or power. Still no one has come by from insurance co. Look at some of my other post. Might be enlighten for some. So kick back and have a beer!

I talked to Fred ( plthijinx ) about 11am , he is fine , has power , water , and a hang over , but no Net connection .

plthijinx · 09-24-2005, 03:09 PM

Howdy Y'all! yeah xob the air traffic was NUTZ!
no damage, like zip said, just no net connection. i'm next door at NBN's house. he, however lost his back fence and will post a pic sometime today i think.
i wound up taking Mike and Karen from the flight school in at my house. i let them have my bedroom and i passed out (literally) on my lazy boy. funny as hell though, mike had to tow our tool truck with his trailer and fuel truck. i'll let the following pics tell the story. i did have a poker/hurricane party and won $45.

plthijinx · 09-24-2005, 03:15 PM

remember the guy i talked about that was with scinto the night he shot himself? here he is (2nd photo) i wouldn't allow him in my house. trust me on this one. it takes alot for me to not be hospitable, but i won't let someone in my home that i even think would steal from me.
