CanuckInUSA 0 #1 September 22, 2005 Where do you want Rita to make land fall? Obviously none of us want Rita to land anywhere, but it's got to go somewhere. So am I twisted in wanting Rita to hit New Orleans instead of Galveston/Houston/Corpus Cristi? My logic being that New Orleans has already been wasted and most of the population is no longer there. It's bad enough that Katrina wasted New Orleans, but do we really want a major city like Houston to be wasted as well? Do we really want the Texas Oil refineries to be destroyed? Mother Nature can be a bitch at times. But it's times like this that I must remind myself of my DZ.COM signature line.

BillyVance 34 #13 September 22, 2005 I guess to minimize the amount of devastation, it might as well pass right over New Orleans again, if it was possible to limit the devastation to the poorest areas, if only to make it easier to wipe the mess up and start over...

mdrejhon 8 #22 September 22, 2005 QuoteI want Rita to hit Oprah Winfrey.I think she did at the Media Convention at... Oh, you mean the hurricane, rather than the other Rita? Seriously, let the hurricane hit a quiet stretch of beach between two major urban centres, if it has to hit within its forecast areas. With plenty of low-population room for the bigger storm surge on the east side of the hurricane (I think). That would be best for damages, I'd think? And no, don't blame Canada for the hurricane. (This is a fellow Canadian speaking here. Wishing a hurricane to Canada is kinda silly, although a few occasionally make it all the way to the Atlantic provinces, where I don't live anyway.)
