I’ve got that book over here and was gonna pull it out and re-read it but I’m too glued to the T.V. updates. I pray this is nothing like the account in that book! Have you heard anything from your friends? It really sucks watching a city you adore getting shredded by Mother Nature, especially when you’re halfway around the world! I pray everything turns out okay...
A big part of the problem is NIMBY idiots. That is not congress - that is local. Teddy boy is one of those - no wind turbines to spoil his view.
get butts out... sorry yall long night and freeping from my cell phone...
stumbling around getting coffee started...been watching the tv off and on all night..sending lots of prayers to our friends across the gulf from Florida.
I wonder if those fires are the ones DrewsMum’s dad said they had put out?
President Bush coming up shortly to discuss Ike.
Looks to me like that democrat woman mayor in Galveston is going to have alot to answer for as well. She did not order an evacuation until Thursday at 5:00 pm and only then, for the western side of island.
She is going to have the blood of ‘her people’ on her hands...although if you have to have a politician tell you when to leave, you are a hopeless fool regardless...(eye roll)
I agree! No argument from me!
Just checking in on you. Hope all is OK!
Did the mayor evacuate or did she stay on the island?
he wasn’t specific about which refinery...i am not sure he knows.
anyone have more information on time of presidents speech & maybe a live stream link
I got hold of Balde a short while ago. His place is taking in a lot of water. He thinks a tree hit the upstairs and water is coming in through his walls and his back window. He’s very stressed right now.
she was in the same hotel as the news people
Jacksonville FL
yesterday and this a.m. several gas stations have put yellow “out of service” bags on the ‘regular’ gas pumps- yeah right!
prices up .20 overnight
yet oil was below $100 barrel yesterday
It is light out but still windy and rainy.
I can’t see any damage around me in Cypress. I don’t see any trees down and looks like the fences made it.
It was pretty hairy the past couple of hours. Heard a guy on the radio say he had just driven 290 and no power from Field Store road all the way in.
Ouch.
She stayed in the San Loius hotel(safest on the Island).....yet sent the people to some shoddy shelter at a high school as a shelter of last resort..(eye roll). Hope they made it!!
BS. I lived in Oklahoma until 6 years ago. It is the US congress, and the US congress ALONE that has blocked new refineries there.
yes, such a shame that probably many who stayed have young children who had no say about evacuating, I pray death toll is small.
They aren't focusing on Ike. They are Palin bashing. So if you want news on Ike don't go there. They just had some feminazi on who said that women won't support Palin because she DOESN'T represent the values of women and that the Marxist does.Thanks for the vanity NautiNurse. Hope you can get some sleep soon.
LOOKING FOR UPDATES - TRY THESE LINKS REGULARLY AS THEY ARE UPDATED QUITE OFTEN
