Could be bad news for alot of us across the south.

Maybe it will die out but if it makes it into the warm waters of the Gulf could spell bad news for Gulf Coast.....

They don't expect it to die out.

Isn't that thing supposed to be a Cat 4 or 5 by the time it hits us? I read that it's only going to strengthen between the Caribbean and us.

gheez , i work in construction so i am outside on jobsites . ive already been rained out enough . hopefully it will go somewhere else cause all this rain hasnt been good for me the past couple days .

good possibility josh....we won't know for sure till after the weekend.

hope everybody's OK - but this will probably give me an opportunity to go play in the mud with my new toy!!!
Dang I thought I had a pic on my laptop - guess not - I'll correct this when I get home...

Man, that thing looks like it could hit Louisiana head on.

Wouldn't be surprised if it hit Louisiana

Let's pray it changes courses like they sometimes do. It's never a good time for a major hurricane to hit the US, but particularly not in this economy when people are not as able to donate to the cause.

Well i know we are getting ahead of ourselves but if it is a major hurricane and will make landfall in the gulf... Please any of our posters on the coast take heed and evacuate if the order comes... Katrina took many lives because people didn't or couldn't evacuate....

Well I guess gas will go back to $4 a gallon when this thing hits the Gulf.

Naw, they've already conditioned us to $4. They will use this as an excuse to take it at least $4.25.

Looks like people are taking this serious...

In the last hour 4 reservations from people along the coast planning to evacuate inland

Here is Smurfette - she'll make a good rescue vehicle should the need arise. Hopefully it won't and we'll just get to go play in the mud...
