Does anyone else think that these reporters are pushing their luck this time? I think they are underestimating the dangers. I agree. One of these days, a reporter is going to get hurt and they will stop them from standing out in these things.

10-4. A friend of mine was doing similar antics with teen children in Claudette here(Cat1~2) when a roof shingle slammed through his truck windshield. The "playing in the wind" ceased.

PS: This is from a hotel in San Antonio where we evac'd to. The trafficfest was no fun(took us 12 hours to get here from ~180 miles away). From yesterday's fun:

We have friends from UTMB who evacuated to San Antonio. Closest hotel they could find. Took them 4 hours to get across Houston on Thursday morning early.

I can really commiserate with the thousands of you folks that have had to endure....I thought I'd been through hell after our Northridge earthquake (I lived on the 'wrong side' of the collapsed freeway interchange). It's aggro beyond description until you've been there and done that.

Five hour commutes each way between home/office became common for a few weeks. People still wonder why I continue to carry an empty three pound coffee can in my trunk; I give 'em the standard 3 second physiology lesson in bladder capacity.

You have just posted the reason why I'm fitting a secondary tank to my bugout vehicle, the Jeep.

That will give me 40 gallons on board with 20 more in jerry cans bolted to it.
