Hurricane RITA has turned to be a Category 4 and is heading for Gulf Coast

upgraded to category 4 already...i live in Texas and now watching where it is going.God bless Texas.

My god, this thing is growing fast. This time yesterday it was ust upgraded to a Cat. 1. It was only a 3 when I woke up (5 hrs ago?)
I've lived through Juan and White Juan, and pity anyone who must deal with this horor

Dude the Gulf Coast is having shit for luck.  Someone down there must have pissed off God.  :/

* Pr0xY prays for their safety....

Ah man this is bad...I hope it doesn't cause major damage.

Good luck to all locations effected. And we'll all hope and pray for the best.

That sucks.....im waiting for something to happen over here now....

dont you guys think by now the people who live down there dont have the urge to move??? i mean comon, 4-5 hurricanes average every year, many people lost many belongings, i dont understand why people stil live there. because its there home? been there for so long they dont wanna move? i understand that, but i mean dont they see the danger that is coming?

anyway rita is heading to texas, and new orleans will get some of it, but like 75mm of rain, that is alot for new orleans....

cuba really got hit hard, so did florida.

Thats really upsetting i serpose were really lucky not haveing natural desasters like that over here in England...

well as you know, hurricane Rita is coming for the Houston area,  which I am in...its pretty exciting ...but can be scarey.  I live north of houston so my house wont get total destruction like galveston might get...there are other members of this communtiy that live in this area so i hope we will all be safe so pray for us and all those who are going to be included in the hurricane's path.  the last time we got a hurricane like this was before i was born in 1984, hurricane alysha,  with was acarey for my parents and 2 older sisters so i havnt been through a hurricane like this one will be but only through small hurricanes so im sure the power will go off.

I told you the world is falling apart.

Everyone remember that i said, the world will in 2012.  Don't ask about it!!!

This is bad.

Its a catagory five hurricane now.

All the Louisianna huricane victims came to Houston and now there is an even worse Hurricane coming to Houston! Sucks for them.

Here in Conroe we are expected to get 90miles-per-hour winds. Hopefully alot of fun will be had, but then on the other side we could get screwed. We are going to go cannooing down the street when it floods

Rita has been recorded as the third most intense huricane to hit the U.S.

1.3million people on the move throughout Texas, and that number is expected to double as today goes by.

And expert, I HIGHTLY doubt that this huricane will increase gas by ~$3.00. When Katrina hit, the national average went up some $.60 cents I do believe.

Not again.....the oil prices!!!

I was checking news in middle east sites and they have quotes that this is due to the bad deeds of US in Iraq

I stay neutral

Because we are really messing up the environment with pollution and all the other nonsence crap, and global warming, there are going to be a lot more hurricanes every year, which really sucks for carribean residents and southern usa.

Well, according to CNN, The storm surge has potential to completly put Galveston under water. Galveston is really just an island really close to land, and is quite close to sea level

See?



Galveston may not even exist after the storm if Rita blows this sand bar away.

---

Doesn't matter. The waves and surge will wash this town away, even if the eye passes a hundred miles away

ya i know the radius of the storm is like 170 miles or somthing like that

Galveston will still be there There is a like a 15 ft. conrete sea wall, and all the building are on stilts.  Galveston learned their lesson from the 1900 hurricane.

The gas prices were already predicted to be $5 to $6 by the end of this year anyway. Texas is the biggest producer of oil in the USA (behind Alaska but they are like not even near the USA), this hurricane seriously cant be good for gas prices.

The entire world should just cancel out all debt to each other.

---

Gas stations all over Ottawa (Canada) are FILLED up with cars, going all the way to the roads. Gas is at 97.5 and no one is takin any chances, theyr all filling up before it hits $2.00 per Litre....which is going to be Horrible.

the hurricane is almost here! and its lowered to a cat 4 and is almost down to a cat 3 the windows of it are currently 135 mph

Yeah that will suck for everyone on the southern part of the United States.  I'm glad Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan gets there gas from Canada. 

Actually, some states are under investigation now after raising their gas prices during Hurricane Katrina.  The hurricane should have had no effect on gas prices for the northern part of the US, since there was no hurricane in Canada .  I hate when they price gouge it for BS reasons. :/

ok well the first bands of rita are here ...i wish the hurricane would be stronger though.  we tylerG and his brother all set our computers in our houses downstairs so the computers dont get ruined so it pretty cool, we are going to be on all night until the power goes out which i hope it does!

You want it to be stronger? What? Why? Are you crazy? Did you smoke crack before you thought of that? You better be kidding. I just talked to my friend who lives about a hour away from the coast, and she said there expecting it to be a cat 2 when it gets to her place, and it's soposed to drop ~35in of rain. But yet, you want it to be stronger? How naive.

Because its something out of the ordinary. Its weird, but its kind of exciting that something is finally happening here in conroe. They built us up for a catagory five hurricane coming right for us and we were all kind of excited and then they said it wasnt coming for us and it was a catagory two. I mean, however terrible it might be, it is indeed exciting.

---

agreed

found out that all the hard stuff is supposed to hit at 3 am

New Orleons flooded again
