Rita

[RDM]

Hi guys,

 

Place is a beehive down here today, I-10 looks like something out of a feature film. Everyone pouring out of eastern Texas too who knows where. Every hotel, motel and inn are blocked within 300 miles of Lafayette.

 

PHI & Airlog, just suspended all flying this evening, all rigs are now shutdown again (watch the price of oil go mad).

 

Was driving to Houston last night to pick up DQ and watched the National Guard or reserve moving to Houston from Baton Rouge on I-10, quite impressive.......how many Humvees the US got anyway

 

 

Some nervous folk here, can not quite blame them, anyway will keep y'all posted. Will upload some pictures here tonight if I get a moment. And for the record, the people in the south "Louisanna specifcally" are some of the most friendly folk on the planet.

 

Otherwise, this is RDM, reporting live for CAavition News from the Gulf of Mexico.

Now don't be standin' out there in a Cat 5 snappin' pix, RDM! And to paraphrase a member here who's in the area of Florida that may take a Rita hit, "be ready to run like ****!" Be safe down there.

Watch out on the news updates RDM .....it might be in competition to the CNN news fed that Caaviation is tied in with now.

Morning,

 

Looks like Rita just took a small turn north. These boys are all headed to the North east this morning.

 

 

And these boys are headed to Galveston.

 

 

What they are not taking out of the area...

Anyone heard from SOB recently ? He works for PHI doesn't he ?

[Rosco]

He's in Texas Skidz, on an EMS gig after a departure from PHI

 

It would be nice to hear from him though as it's been a while.

 

Stay safe boyz.
