I have already told you to shut up. I have had enough of you. I am pregnant, evacuated and STRESSED and I don’t need your crap. Please leave my name out of your posts.
I looked at a couple photos to try to figure out whether “retrograde” or not.
It seems a fair fight.
You certainly are stressed.
But at least yer alive inlike those folks you jumped me for talking about in Ca
I heard reports yesterday that sections of BR where power had been restored had lost it again. How frustrating that would be!
“unlike”
That's really interesting. Do I understand correctly that this phenomenon has occured over years, and is not a result of the hurricane? If so, I guess that falls into the "unintended consequences" category. I wonder how that affected the seawall's performance during the hurricane.
I would appreciate any information on conditions in the neighborhood on the west end of Clear Lake just south of the Johnson Space Center.
Very true.
Thank you for this thread. If you hear anything about Sugarland please let me know. I do not know much about the area.
Are you on a weekend bender? What is your drug of choice?
A fair question.
Much of the problem is the DSL link, not the computer itself, being taxed - it is the combination. I’m sure I’m not alone in having limitations, or we would all have fifty windows with web cams looking at each other while we’re doing these threads.
I’d love to have a quad core with a T3 line at my house, but alas I don’t have that dream system - and where I live I’m lucky to even have low grade DSL. (I live in one of those small towns where we cling to our guns and religion)
“I would appreciate any information on conditions in the neighborhood on the west end of Clear Lake just south of the Johnson Space Center.”
Isn’t that close to the Hilton?
Ah, I didn’t realize that. That’s what I get for skimming the thread. At any rate, if I had to drive through that interchange I’d have a death grip on the steering wheel and be praying to Jesus. We don’t have roads like that in Waco, lol.
Something else to be thankful of: those 1902 Galvestonians also raised the center of the island by 14’ using pump jacks to raise the buildings and filling with sand pumped in from the gulf. True grit.
They were not specific on what was stopping them from getting further west in their recovery expedition; maybe purposefully so. The fact that so many of them are not saying anything about the west end of the island, not a mention (that I have heard so far) of phone calls from folks that way asking for rescue, etc., is not reassuring, IMO. Still praying for those who ignored the multiple warnings to leave...
No. I am sitting in the middle of Ike thank you.
You peoples hysteria is unreal.
There are 18 people dead in Ca and I got my ass jumped here for asking about it and Heaven forbid....suggesting that Ike wasnt going to be that bad.
Then I get jumped for posting a pic of the storm in relation to my position. Thanks for your concern L0L
I'd forgotten about that. It was a very, very smart thing to do, and certainly resulted in a lessening of the damage from Ike. Kudos to those long-departed Texans.
