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.
Reminds me how I was expecting Frances to pass by where I was, and the silly just went the other way...
Ever since Andrew, I've felt interest in hurricanes, although it's sad how they destroy everything...
Oh, well, it's like that with hurricanes... You can't really tell if they're going to keep strong or get weaker.
One thing that disgusted me about the local news was a phrase a reporter said:
We'll keep you up to date about Hurricane Rita. We sent people to the US to keep you informed in what promises to be a disaster of a big scale.
WTF? Promises? I was half-expecting the woman to say: "you'll see people being blown away, buildings ripped off, destruction everywhere, etc."
