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.
On a serious note plywood "ain't" cheap and some may be waiting until tomorrow for payday.
Just talked to someone whose brother in law is waiting around to see if he needs to board up. I wonder if he’s ever tried to do it when the wind picks up?

Lots of people boarded-up for Rita, then nothing happened. Maybe more people boarded up then because they were leaving town. Looks like not nearly as many people leaving town for Ike. My son just went to Walmart & Target to get some milk, water, bread, etc. and says the shelves are empty.
