Break-ins in Galveston?
No, nor do I expect to hear more than a few scattered reports, followed by "nevermind" calls to HPD because citizens have taken care of the problem.
This *is* the largest evacuation in history.
I predict it will take 72 hours to get large scale forces in place.....pretty much the same as the 72 hours after the levee break (or after the report of the levee break) in N.O.
Saw Grand County Colorado sending 3 ambulances down I-25 today, they'll wait out the storm in Ft. Worth, and then go in. It could be a very long drive.
Forget about evacfrom Harris/Galveston county, ain't gonna happen, best thing is to hunker down and deal with what comes your way as best you can.
That's it. Greetings from Huntsville.
I don't think it is simply the wording. It seems they have a bug in the reporting when the probability is very high.
Don't ferget "No Name, Co.".
Same here. Before, I was down to FNC and TWC. Now it's just TWC. Everybody else is stuck on stupid. It's like watching children ask stupid questions and make inane comments. Heck, children are wiser than these fools.
Eel is great. The ones we have here can feed a family....or bust your pole.
Did anyone see Wolf Blitzer assailing Houston's (white) mayor over traffic jams and gas lines? It was ridiculous. Nagin has still never been challenged. At least Mayor White got his people out. White somehow managed to avoid launching into an R-rated tirade against Blitzer (unlike you know who)
How far from the coast is Houston? It seems unusual that people are evacuating Houston.
It would be a bad day for a looter in Texas, methinks.
Used to be people shot each other regularly on the Houston freeways. We defined Road Rage. We've mellowed. I'm not sure why. We grew up a lot during Allison I think. It's been said a lot, but 9-11 that same year changed everything too. My mother died that same year. Not a great year for me.
Somebody's getting smacked.
It'll kill fewer people where it's headed now than where it was headed this morning.
Still have to take it all with a grain of salt. The steering currents died and the models have all gone divergent in three dimensions.
If that's not enough of a razor's edge, my projection for max surge ends only 36 miles NE of Galveston now, with substantial surge extending to Galveston itself.
I'd feel a lot more comfortable if Rita was still hooking around to the right.
Mike Bettes is the new Jim Cantore; he made it to Port Arthur while Jungle Jim is still in Houston.
Not sure of all the locations, but 10 of them are for the Houstonians stranded on the highways! Capacity 200-500 at each shelter!
From your keyboard to God's "Palm Pad"!
Would probably get tagged by Homeland Security for shipping a hazardous package.
