I'm with robbro.... us U.K.ers can't really imagine what you go through. It must be very scary.

The worst natural happenings I've experienced is a few earthquakes (small ones but not so small when you don't expect to get them lol)... and hailstones the size of golf balls.... they dented everybody's cars and broke alot of glass....people kept some in their freezer for weeks as a weird kind of souvenir hehe

Hope you and your family stay safe Liljim

Get out of there! this thing is too big to mess with
Grab your family, pets, papers and go
Category 4 is total destruction of trees, shrubs and most buildings.

Our prayers will be with you and your family

Its around 175 MPH winds right now and its expected to make landfall sometime monday. I am in northern louisiana so it wont be "quite" as bad as it will around the coastline. We shouldnt start seeing any effects here untill tomorrow afternoon. I have alot of family in southern louisiana that im worried about though. Most of them are going to bed down and stay put and i dont think thats a good idea. This is the biggest hurricane to hit the US that im aware of. Im not going to be leaving LA but i will be going to a safer location than where im at now. I'll be in touch until it gets a little closer but if i dissapear for a while its only due to loss of power or phone lines. Pray for everyone thats in the path of this thing, its already making history and its not on land yet.
