Here's a link to the suggested evacuation area-

If you're north of Houston, or even most of the city center looks clear. I've decided my offices in Pearland (20 miles South) will be ok.

I think Durango is still forecasted to be pretty nice............
The storm is now a CAT 5!!!
Do you have Hurricane Shutters? That is one thing I always see missing from the neighborhoods of other Coastal communities. If you drive around South Florida just prior or after a Hurricane warning Id say 75% of the homes are protected with some kind of Hurricane Shutters or a at a minimum boarded windows. I live ~ 7 miles from the coast and I have 4grand worth of Hurricane shutters. Am I just not seeing them in other coastal areas of the country?rooftest said:

But when one of the volcanoes let loose it will be much cooler than a regular ol' storm.Tenchiro said:

165mph sustained winds, but it may weaken before it makes landfall.
Weakened from 165 - that's like, "Mike Tyson won't hit you quite as hard as he can"
Pray for Texas.

"Officials at the South Texas Project nuclear plant in Bay City, Texas, are preparing to shut the facility down before Rita arrives, a spokesman said.
The plant, which powers 1 million customers, is built on elevated ground 12 miles inland from the Texas coast to withstand storm surges from Category 5 hurricanes. In addition, the two reactor containment buildings are strong enough to withstand a Category 5 storm or a direct impact of a Boeing 767."
At least someone was thinking in advance.

If by "we don't have many large population centers near major fault systems" you mean, "we have many large population centers right on top of major fault systems", then yes that is true.Westy said:The "big one" is going to make NOLA look like Disney World.
