I’m getting a bad feeling about Ike. Because the forecasters couldn’t get a fix on its track and strength, I think a lot of people will have waited too long to make preps or evacuate. Dallas is only getting a trickle of critical-care evacuees right now. I fear many will be trapped on the highway during a last-minute bug out.
I’m in Houston. I’m struck by the few people I’m seeing boarding up. I hear the Home Depot is a zoo, and there were lines at Stop & Go for the gas... I figgure its either a line or no gas by now. But I’m not seeing that much urgency.
