Hurricane Rita was a Category 5 hurricane, the highest rating possible. Only three Category 5 hurricanes are known to have hit the US mainland, the most recent being Hurricane Andrew, which devastated south Florida in 1992 , is known to hit the coast of Texas early saturday morning with winds blowing 150 mph and 15 inch rain. The government has orderred the ppl to evacuate the city b4 it hits.
The oil prices are soaring high..Five percent of the country’s capacity was already down because of damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. But an additional 22 percent of capacity is down at least temporarily as refineries in the path of Hurricane Rita ceased operations and released their employees. In total, capacity capable of producing 5 million barrels a day of petroleum products, including 2.5 million barrels of gasoline, is not available.
There have been a lot of natural disasters all over the world this year: earthquake in europe, south-east japan, monsoon rains in India, forest fire in south-west europe, the Tsunami in indonesia, then floods in Mumbai, pretty recent Hurricane katrina in louisiana, Texas.. and now hurricane Rita again!?!
Now that scares me ..reminds me of the movie "The day after tomorrow" ,where in the movie it shows that the whole land is submerged in water... the statue of liberty submerged ..all you could see is the head of statue of liberty.
Is this really happening!?!
