(don't worry, they only want to take water out of the other guy's side of the bucket.)
Ike hasn't hit the beach with this much force since the day my stepdad graduated from HS IYKWIM.
Seriously, my prayers go out to those in Ike's path. Stay safe, y'all.

Mayor Bill White is on the local news right now giving updates about evacuations, cautioning everyone about what a dangerous storm this is. He is suggesting to businesses that non-essential personnel stay home tomorrow.
77058, 77059, 77062, 77520, 77546, 77571, 77586, 77598 are zip codes that are subject to 15 foot storm surge and need to evacuate now.

Am I the only one who notices there is hardly any coverage of this storm? Gustav and MO had 10 times more, what’s up with the news channels?

Witnessing a convoy of utility trucks from other states en route to assist after a storm...puts a lump in my throat every time.

I am guessing it is the 9-11 anniversary this morning.

So far they have had very little about 9-11 and very little on Ike. Good thing we have local news here in Texas with information. It now looks like this is going more toward Galveston,
I think Gustav was more sensational with the possibility of levees breaking and flooding the city again.

Good buoy to watch it should be in the path, note the near 85 degree water feeding this storm as well.Barometer still dropping.

Rick Perry Republican gov. will probably do a great job of organizing storm evac and post storm re-entry. Texas is not known a real liberal state with cradle to grave leanings like LA was,drive-bys really don't like conservative states. Guess who else comes from Texas.

It's kind of appropriate as we remember 9-11.

Storm Fatigue, I suppose... and, now we have LIPSTICK to talk about. This dis-interest is one of the reasons I've had such a bad feeling about this storm for the past 5 days.

So far they have had very little about 9-11 and very little on Ike. The media will not do 9-11 stories this close to the election, it might remind people of the rats true colors. The hurricane, it's Texas, it's a "non story".

Brazoria County: Mandatory evacuation called for entire county Yea.. I gotta tell ya, I'm not a big fan of the "MANDATORY" evacs for the entire county. Areas north of Angleton are more than 30' above sea level. Storm surge is NOT going to reach them. If you live in an apartment, mobile home, a lightly constructed home, or a home surrounded by big trees (not many of those around there)... then, yea... you probably want to leave.
But, if you're in a well constructed , brick home.. you're probably better off stocking up on supplies, and riding it out in the strongest part of your house.
I think... the city plans should included having some buildings that can withstand 150+ MPH winds...where, people can shelter during the worst.

That is because the media was praying for New Orleans to be destroyed by Gustav in order to ‘help’ their candidate, Obama!
No further proof of media bias is needed now. (eye roll)

TexGal,
What is your elevation there? And, are east or west of I-45?
If you’re on the east side... you may not be safe... even under a metal roof and storm windows.

ANYBODY living from Clear Lake City down to Texas City, Galveston, Freeport, Lake Jackson.... needs to get the hell out.
If this track continues, there is not going to be much left in Clear Lake City. You won’t be able to recognize the streets when you come back.

Mandatory evacs mean different things in different states. In some states it means just that, you gotta leave. In other states, like Texas, it is a mechanism that triggers county and state emergency personnel into action.

My nephew and his wife are in Friendswood, but are evacuating with her parents to Kerrville. My sister and bro in law are in League City. Haven't heard from her this morning yet so I don't know what they have decided. They went to BIL's family farm in Trinity during Rita and it was worse there.
It is very odd for me to be on this side of the hurricane! Usually my sister in TX is watching the storm hit me (south alabama)!
