From a triage POV, better a resteraunt than a big refinery.
agree..she is bad. she just finished saying the eye wall (landfall) was an hour away at least, as Jerry was sitting pretty in the calmness of the eye.
Howdy! Looks like its almost land fall time. lots of rain. looks like we may be wet in NH too.
mark fer later
Norris opened his ranch to storm refuges... did a segment on Fox about it. Cool.
Here is an update on it...
Brennan’s Restaurant burns to the ground in downtown Houston
01:04 AM CDT on Saturday, September 13, 2008
KHOU.com staff report
One of Houston’s historic restaurants burned to the ground early Saturday morning. Firefighters were powerless to save Brennan’s of Houston as high winds from Hurricane Ike prevented crews from dousing the flames.
The fire was reported at 12:20 a.m., by the time fire trucks arrived, though, the restaurant was fully engulfed. Almost immediately, fire crews went into a defensive posture to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby buildings.
A Houston Fire Department assistant chief told 11 News that two people were inside the restaurant at the time of the fire. Those people were taken to a local hospital.
The extent of their injuries was not known.
Brennan’s opened in downtown Houston more than 40 years ago and constantly rated as one of the best eateries in the city.
More details on the fire as they become available.

Don’t know, I’m sorry.
Out for a nap, back by 0900.
Casey Stegal in Clear Lake at the Hilton said there were a lot of media and people who came to the hotel and glass was blown out and apparently has damage in several places. They’re relocating people and coming up with plans if they have to get out.
The sound keeps cutting out so it’s hard to get everything. They are waiting and preparing for what may happen given what’s occured at the hotel already and that they haven’t gotten the worst of it yet.
Yikes! When the waves are higher than the stoplights it’s time to gtho!
I’ve always wanted to set up a studio so I can screencap. If and when I move, I’ll make it happen. I want out of California.
He’s a court jester!
That was cool, no doubt he’s a conservative with strong values. If I had to bug out and knew I could go to his ranch, that would be my spot. Cudos to you Mr. Norris!
If you go away we’ll miss you, too. Take care and join us when you can, if you lose power.
The fastest rising surge right now is at Eagle Point in Texas City (West side of Galveston Bay) and at Sabine Pass, leading to Port Arthur and Beaumont. It’s likely Galveston will not see the highest surges .
Next Thread may have them.
Night tcrlaf.
I was wondering, too, about the “acts of God” when it comes to the Galveston warehouse (boat dry dock) fire. It’s Galveston so I’m sure it’s very clear in their insurance policies either way. I used to work for a dry dock on the east coast and I bet a fire is a TERRRRRRIBLE occasion. Millions of dollars, so many owners. Lawsuits. Ugh.
