Gee! Why? :)
A&W and Dairy Queen drive-ins .. burgies and fries.. Ohhh Yeaaaahh!!
I do think they will find out it's a different world across the Texas border.
The greatest danger is the politicians getting into a bidding war over who's going to be the most compassionate with our money. With respect to the damage, we've been taking and recovering from these things for eons, this is essentially just multiple itterations of those prior recovery efforts. Most states and cities have large reserve funds built into their budgets for precisely this purpose, and the private insurance sector provides a massive amount of help. State Farm's disaster team, for just one example, is larger than the entire staff of FEMA. So if the politicians can just control themselves, we'll be fine. Sadly, that's a pretty low probability 'if.'
Mother nature on steroids. :)
I am a big fan of free beer. As long as it is purchased, and given for free. Looted beer deserves an @sskickin'.
Fly, Jerry, fly!
I was a skeptic for a long time, but I believe in them. I don't know what they are...but I believe they exist in some places.
It is quite fascinating.
If you get the SCI FI network, watch GHOST HUNTERS on Wednesday nights at 9pm. They go and investigate hauntings in houses, old buildings and museums.
Sometimes they find things too..
They are the looters.
No, it was Brad's Gramma.
However, I've been playing for hours. The beer is gone. I just found a bottle of Blanton's single malt whiskey on the shelf. I don't know if that's a good omen or not.
Well, I said I liked Geraldo, never said I thought he was a genius ~LOL~
I think most in the media failed to realize that our roads were SIMPLY NOT DESIGNED TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF TOWN AT THE SAME TIME! They can barely handle everyone going different directions during rush hour.
All right, already. You've rung that bell three times.
Why don't you write a position paper on it and get back to the rest of us in the morning?

saw him earlier, looked like a drowning rat.
Shep Saturday afternoon - "As my cameraman as my witness, I thought Jerry could fly".
Thanks.
"I'm coming to get my men."

Bad juju, mon,, bad bad juju.. ;0
They are already telling people not to come back tomorrow! They are trying to tell that to all the Houston channels....
No Gas!
I'm pretty burned out on pondering the long term consequences of disasters - we'll be dealing with it soon enough, whether we want to or not.
Why? I'm just curious what would persuade a skeptic.
