How can you people live and have steady nerves? Right now I'm biting my nails with worry. It appears everyone is stuck in traffic, no place to go and burning buses now.
Why shouldn't we have steady nerves, we are Texans after all. Life will go on, football will still be played, the oil will start flowing again next week.
It may shock people to know this, but hurricanes have hit Texas before!!! I'm not making it up!!! It has nothing to do with the global warming crap either!!!
We've even had hurricanes hit Houston head-on within recent memory. Look it up, I'm serious.
Heck, we had
one hurricane that made Katrina look like a walk in the park.
I remember experiencing Carla from when I was a kid, and I remember my grandfather telling me about seeing Galveston a few weeks after it was all but washed away.
We've had a burning bus with 20+ dead, and that is certainly a tragedy, but it is not anything to put your life on hold for or to panic over - those people who died probably, hopefully lived full lives, and they are hopefully in a better place now.
The most important thing to be taken out of today's tragedy, is the fact that these people died on a bus far away from where the hurricane is going to hit.
They didn't drown. They didn't die because their life-support equipment lost power. They weren't shot by looters. They didn't starve.
