HURRICANES/////They are a bad a// SOB. I'm from Galveston County, Crystal Beach. I worked Katrina in Gulfport, Ms.; I also worked in Beuamont , Texas during Hurricane Rita.. Then Hurricane Ike took my hometown out with a 17-24 foot water surge. It took 85% of the homes on the beach. TWC Said that Katrina was a cat#5, but 75miles out got downgraded to a cat#3. Everybody saw what it did to New orleans. Then Rita came into the Golden Triangle[Beuamont/Port Arther area] I worked there for 9 months. Two months without a shi??er or electricity. Rita didn't bring a storm surge. She brought tornadoes, about 175 of them; They ripped thru SE Texas with no mercy. My company/Firm had crews working storm damage as far north as DeQueen, Ark. which is appprox. 375 miles from the coast. I was in Oklahoma when Ike hit.. It took my hometown out;;; 85% of homes washed away.. The Goverment said it was only a cat#2. They wrote us off like a bad dream.. Anyways back to the point;;;If you find yourself in a hurricane situation;;;Just leave,get out,get your family and go
