Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all in Louisiana and your neighbors as well. For those who have not heard - Hurricane Katrina has reached winds of 175MPH!!! I know we have a lot of fellow F-body owners out there as well as some good shops/vendors/suppliers and I just wanted to let them know we are thinking of them and wish them all the best as they are faced with this huge hurricane. Good luck guys and I hope it isn't as bad as they are predicting...

A buddy of mine lives a few miles east of New Orleans. He doesnt know what to do now, and said the traffic is just terrible.

Yeah, my family's probably still in New Orleans too.... last year they came up to my place to ride out the one that missed. Figures, I'm gone and the big one decides to show up right at our front door I hope they made it out okay.

My prayers go out to the folks who are in New Orleans as well. It sounds like the worst possible hurricane is heading toward the worst possible area for a hurricane to hit! Fox News yesterday said the following:

- A category 4 is 10 x stronger than a cat. 3. It is now a category 5.
- Hurricane Ivan brushed by LA and still caused 7 billion dollars in damage.

In anticipating what is going to happen, please keep in mind that the stuff you folks lose is just 'stuff'. You will still have friends and family. Life will go on. I say this safely in Texas, but I hope it is of some encouragement to you guys!

Just saw an update on the weather channel. Look's like Katrina is going to take the worst path for NOLA. If you still have the chance, get your bicylcle's (to beat the traffic) and get the hell out of town.

They said its the 4th strongest storm on record in the Atlantic. Hope most people take cover, and the death toll doesnt climb higher than expected.

For a matter of perspective:

The eyewall of Katrina is ~35 miles in diameter

The diameter of Beltway 8 across I10 is 25.4 miles.

Thats a big effing storm
