As I vaguely recall, Vortex hails from Pascagoula Mississippi. Here's a nice map, courtesy of google: Katrina's bittch

Hopefully he didn't stay there to watch the storm... I have to imagine many people living in Pascagoula would die due to the storm surge . Even people who survive the storm are probably going to be sitting on their roofs for several days.

dang.

I thought he lived in Florida for some reason.

Mr. Brown (someone who was in the FuneralQuest [another RTSoft game] community a few years ago, I'm not sure if he was a Dinker) also lives around there.

Death by hurricane... at least it's more exciting than being hit by a car...

Hopefully Vortex is ok.

In my (limited) experience, real life hurricanes ripping up the country around you are a helluva lot more dangerous than stories posted on the internet.

You're blonde eh?

I hope Vortex is alright... it would be an ironic way for him to go though.

I, too, was thinking about him while preparing for Ozzfest the other day... I hope he, Mr. Brown, Charli (some cutie I met in Florida last year, who lives in Louisiana), my grandparents, and anyone else of relevance to me/us is ok.

On another note, a certain someone in this thread would probably be best off if they kept their mouth shut...

Give him some time. Power isn't up in many areas, and won't be for a while.

Anyhow, I just read that Mississippi didn't suffer too much flooding, but did have a lot of wind damage + the initial surge (somewhat similar to a Tsunami; in Biloxi, boats were floated 200 feet inland.) Makes sense; the flooding in New Orleans happened because the city is lower than sea level (or at least lower than the level of Lake Ponchatrain.)

Alright, what I said was a tiny bit harsher than I intended. My apologies. Though I do think that in context, what you said was slightly distasteful. If you disagree, so be it. I'm not about to jump on the I Can't Think of Any Decent Remarks bandwagon and call you a "fudgeing piece of shoot" or anything.

Now, if Vortex suddenly reappeared, I wouldn't find something like "aw man, I wish you'd died" to be too bad, myself. Heh.

"me too hes a nice person it would be horrible if he dies

You on the other hand...

I seriously hope Vortex isnt dead and can also get back online soon since not being online is sort of a form of Hell for someone like him if you ask me.

Also he if is dead he will always be remembered for indirectly creating one of the funniest quote sets I've ever seen;

"...I hope Vortex is ok...it would be really ironic if he died."
"Yea thats a horrible 'whats in a name?'"

Yeah, I've been wondering about Vortex lately too.It's hard to have fun when you know Vortex is probably starving on some rooftop,shooting at looters and getting heatstroke.I wonder if we'll ever see him here again.
