I've been running around all day. Here in Little Rock we are preparing for some of the remnants of IKE coming in. Tornadoes are a possibility, but what's new there? LOL.

Yes, there was hype. Yes, we were very concerned when we heard learned officials say these people who stayed in Galveston faced certain death. Who knows how many people were saved because of this "hype"?

If people had remained in the beach side dwellings that were completely demolished, they would have died. No question about it. Did they listen to the "hype"?

The eye of the storm gave some the opportunity to relocate to safer positions. They under-estimated Mother Nature.

But then, it's a small miracle no more were killed that we know of so far. We're not red-faced over the "hype". We are thankful that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Hype? Ask those who stayed behind in Galveston if they would still ride out the storm in the next major Hurricane? Wanna bet what their answer will be?
