That's what people in New Orleans thought about Katrina.

Difference is Katrina was a massive storm that spent time in the Gulf/Ocean building strength. Edouard, goofy spelling BTW, just formed and does not have the time over water to strengthen to that type.

yeah this storm will bring some rain, but that's about it. A possible Cat-1 is nothing to work oneself in a twit over. I say bring it on. And bring it good. More rain the better. I haven't any interest in going to work tomorrow!

I'm a Florida native. We would fart in the general direction of these little hurricanes.

...and so do most native-Houstonians. In fact, when Rita came, while everyone was hauling ass out of town, I went with a friend back INTO town to have drinks and party. Hysteria is all the rage now.

of course, a few native New Orleneans cast indifference Katrina's way and look what that got them...

What else, captain obvious?

Why the smart a$$ed response? You responded to Deep Green's comment about staying put with a comment about Katrina and New Orleans. Just thought I'd point out the differences in the storms since your original post seemed to infer that they were similar.

I'm sitting here at work in Houston and it is amazing how many people took off work today. My office is in the NW/Champions area and all we've add so far is a little rain. I'm sure the wind will pick up shortly, but this storm has really lacked the punch they were predicting, so far.

Sorry, thought it was obvious to everyone and their dog that these two storms are in no way alike. I was just making the comparison about the similar attitudes towards each of them.

      Big 12 Pursuing Duke

      This content is based on recent public actions of ACC schools that want the opportunity to leave the ACC for more revenue and/or more security in a better conference. There are limited spots left in the SEC and Big10, so time matters. The Big12 would provide basketball schools with security in the best P4 basketball league.

      Great Osobor transferring to Washington with big NIL deals ($2 million)

      Not sure I would frame it that way. I knew very well I was going to have to pay them back. Halway through my first year at UNT (3rd in my undergrad), I remember a convo with my parents where I talked about this sinking feeling that this is not the way to go about things. But I was raised by a generation of adults/society that imprinted on me that, "this is just what you do. No matter what." I'm not blaming that generation for this - I take full responsibility for this burden - but that doesn't mean we (me, now as an adult) can be better about setting up our current youth to make smarter decisions. I feel like we need to have these conversations with our youth, and be better about understanding and explaining the math. The math of your future income. The math of the amount of debt you have and what it means relative to that income. The math/impact on how it impacts your ability to save for future retirement/savings. The fact that you are tied to it, and owe it, even if you fail (or drop out).
