Hurricane Rita becomes a monster

[the hunter]

Galveston, Tex. — As many as 1 million people were ordered to clear out along the Gulf Coast, and hospital and nursing home patients were evacuated Wednesday as hurricane Rita turned into a Category 5 monster that could slam Texas by the weekend and inflict more misery on New Orleans.

Forecasters said Rita, now with winds reaching 265 kilometres an hour, could be the most intense hurricane on record ever to hit Texas and easily one of the most powerful ever to plow into the U.S. mainland. Category 5 is the highest on the scale, and only three Category 5 hurricanes are known to have hit the U.S. mainland. The most recent is Andrew, which smashed South Florida in 1992.

PS our own Fluffster is being evacuated as I post this. Stay safe folks.

For those of you starting just starting out in Warhammer Online. Here is a quick piece of advice for you, especially if you do alot of PvP/RvR, to level up faster. Get the renown tactic called Combat Awareness ASAP.This little renown tactic lets you earn an extra 5% experience for PvP kills. The best thing about it is that you can get this tactic as early as Renown Rank 2, and ALL careers can use it. That’s basically winning one Tier 1 RvR Scenario, or Warhammer Power Leveling taking over one Tier 1 RvR Objective on the world map. Definitely alot easier than unlocking Tome Tactics. Also it does not interfere with your regular career tactics as it goes into a separate slot.If you are unfamiliar with the locations of the renown trainer sto train this skill here’s the list of where to go for your race for Tier 1. You may train this skill at any renown trainer in any tier if you have not done so yet. As always happy hunting!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Come here.
