With Shep and Rita in Galveston

The question really is, where is Cantore?

[Howlin]

They all need to be medicated with IV's, IMO; and I do mean S E D A T E D.

[AliVeritas]

Who Blanco and Nagin?

[dirtboy]

the center will be just east of Galveston. Thats bad.

That's a whole lot better than just west of Galveston.

But I think landfall will be a bit further east.

I live in Norfolk, VA and figure that if I ever have to evacuate I'll use my pickup and tow my boat behind. Not that I want to save the boat so much, but even though it drops my highway mileage from 20 to 12 MPG, the boat holds 120 gallons of gas that I could siphon out as needed in an emergency. And I keep it topped off anyway.

[RDTF]

Hahaha I'm not sure. But I think he saves most of that drama for Anderson

[BurbankKarl]

Anderson Cooper is Gloria Vanderbilt's son...

I saw a photo of him and his wife standing outside their garage (I think that was them anyway) One of the freepers commented on the new tv in the garage.
