It was pretty funny-I need to find that pic.<br />and yeah--After Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans, there was Hurricane Rita a month later that went straight to Houston. ALL of Houston freaked out and left when the evacuation was suggested-I think everybody was just FREAKED out by what happend in New Orleans tho, cuz I've never seen that kind of mass exodus before. The traffic out of the city was beyond shocking. It took me 3 hours to get from my apartment to my parents house(a drive that actually takes 20 minutes),and it took 13 hours to go to San Antonio(usually takes 3 hours). Everyone left at once and there were points where I turned the car off and put it in park-traffic was that bad. People were running out of gas on the freeway and buying cans of gas from people walking on the road for like 10 times the regular price. ---but what happend in New Orleans couldn't happen here since we don't have levees that could break and release massive amounts of water into the city--its too far from the ocean. BUT we all freaked anyway-especially since it took FOUR days for the government to send help to Katrina victims and so many died.<br />U should look up pics of the traffic on-line--it's a sight to see.Pen Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443147029903410419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288443439590995245.post-90365150012161110272009-04-16T04:54:00.000-07:002009-04-16T04:54:00.000-07:00To be honest i didnt even know it was a book.

The Happening was scarier and that movie was s**t!!NoahOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118008603495371474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288443439590995245.post-13368997993252855442009-04-15T20:10:00.000-07:002009-04-15T20:10:00.000-07:00I read 'The Ruins' book while we were stuck in San...I read 'The Ruins' book while we were stuck in San Antonio, TX. during a hurricane evacuation and wasn't scared--BUT, I WAS intrigued and wanted to see what they did with the movie. I felt like the movie was just okay, but that may have been because I kept being thrown off by the MAJOR changes the movie made. The movie didn't scare me either---tho I WANTED it to cuz I love the concept. I dunno why neither medium worked for me. Did u read the book?Pen Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443147029903410419noreply@blogger.com
