[gentoo-dev] Hurricane Rita Evacuation (fwd)
-- Deedra Waters - Gentoo developer relations, accessibility and infrastructure - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo linux: http://www.gentoo.org -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 13:46:38 -0500 From: Jason Huebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hurricane Rita Evacuation I just wanted to give you guys an update on our status with our evacuation for Hurricane Rita. If you could forward this to the Gentoo mailing lists (the public lists are okay, too), I would appreciate it. I'm accessing the internet from a Windows 98 (bleck) computer using Juno (double bleck) as an ISP. So Gmail isn't fully supported on IE5 and won't allow me to send email out as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Downloading Firefox would be utterly painful on this slow dialup link, so I haven't bothered with that. That and this isn't my computer, so I don't have permission to change anything. :-) Anyway, our status... We've evacuated from our home in Orange, TX, which is about 25 miles northeast of where the hurricane is expected to make landfall. My parent's and my sister's homes are directly in the path of the hurricane, in Port Arthur, TX. At the time of this writing, the hurricane /may/ drop to a category 2 when it hits the coast. But that will do little to help the areas to the east and northeast of the hurricane's path (basically, the area where my house is). The storm surge alone will likely wipe out my parents' and my sister's houses. Our house probably won't withstand the winds, since we're in a manufactured home. That being the case, we fully expect to be homeless by this time tomorrow. Thankfully, we've evacuated far enough north that we'll probably only have to deal with high winds. We're staying with my wife's aunt and uncle in Anacoco, Louisiana. We're sharing a one-bedroom house with (last count) 13 people. So things are going to be a little cramped tonight as we ride out the weakening hurricane. We expect to see winds where we are staying of approximately 75 mph, with rainfall in the range of 10 to 15 inches over a 24 hour period. There rainfall isn't of much concern, since this area of the country commonly sees heavy rainfall of this kind. The wind is an issue, though. We've boarded up the eastern and southeastern sides of the house to protect against the wind, so I think we're about as prepared as we can be. We would have gone further north, but when we evacuated the hurricane wasn't expected to come this far east. By the time it became apparent that the hurricane was coming closer than expected, roads were completely clogged and there was little chance we would get much further way. It made more sense to stay in a solid home than to be out on the road or staying in a travel trailer at some campground. Provided we still have phones tomorrow, I'll send an update. I hope everyone else who might be effected by the hurricane made it out safely and we'll see you on the other side of this thing. If you don't hear from us tomorrow, don't be too concerned. I expect we'll be very busy with cleanup on Saturday and Sunday here in Anacoco, LA. Then early next week we'll be heading back to our home in Orange, TX to survey the damage, begin the long insurance process, etc. I doubt we'll have access to phones or the internet while we're there. -- Jason Huebel [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-dev] 2 new victims...err..devs:)
Hi all, I have two new devs to introduce tonight... I meant to send this out sooner, sorry. Jan Kundrát (jkt) has come to join Gentoo to assist in documentation translation. (This is jkt's first open source project) I'm from Czech Republic, country in the middle of old Europe, and I'm trying to maintain Czech translation of Gentoo docs. I'm studying high school (gymnasium), where I like things like math, physics, sport and breaks :-). I enjoy riding bike (mainly longer trips, not downhill riding), skiing (both downhill and running); I love mountains, so I spend considerable amount of my free time hiking and backpacking with my friends when weather and other factors permit (not an issue as we don't care much about hailstones). I do enjoy canoeing (or how is that called - sailing on a river and sluices with a small boat for two people, with baggage). And of course I also like going to pubs with friends and chatting with them in the company of a good beer (Czech beer, of course). Ioannis Aslanidis (deathwing00) Deathwing00 has come to join the gentoo team as a forums staff member. Most of you have probably seen him in the forums and on irc already.:) I was born in Drama, a northern town of Greece in 1983. I came to Tarragona, Spain with my parents in 1989 and I live in here since then. I usually go on summer holdays back to Greece to see my family. I used to play basketball when I was younger and I still like it, though I rarely play... As you have guessed, I am 22 years old and I need 1 more year to end my 5-year-degree, computer engineering at universitat rovira i virgili, spain. I've also done some research on Computer Science applied to Medicine with a successful result: http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/a/Aslanidis:Ioanni s.html Now I am doing my final year project on quantum computation from which I expect good results. -- Deedra Waters - Gentoo developer relations, accessibility and infrastructure - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo linux: http://www.gentoo.org
