I Like Ike
« on: September 12, 2008, 08:03:29 PM »
I'm loving watching all this hurricane coverage today.  livenewscameras.com lets you watch 12 different TV stations in the Houston area all at once.  They're saying that 40% of the population in Galveston has stayed behind and that this is supposed to be the worst hurricane they've had since 1900, which is a hurricane that destroyed just about everything. (Yes, I know the news is hyping it, but it still looks like it's going to be pretty bad.)

It's always interesting to search personal blogs in the area of a disaster to see what people are going through.  I'm looking through Myspace blogs right now and so far I've only found this one where some girl is calling her friends idiots for staying behind.  Anyone here a member of LiveJournal so you can search Galveston blogs for more of these?

My mom called me today and told me to hurry up and fill my car with gas. She said it's already $5.50/gallon and when the hurricans hit it will go up to $8. I explaned to her that this kind of irrational fear is what caused the Great Depression and that there is no way in hell I'm paying $5 for a gallon of gas. I really, really hope I made the right decision.

Yeah, gas has went up about $0.45 overnight. I'm sick of hurricanes raising gas prices.

They were telling people who didn't evacuate to write their SS#'s on their arm!

They should write their ss# and the word "IDIOT" on their arm.

Oh noes you are going to get some stronger than normal wind and rain. You had better rush to the store and buy up the umbrellas.

What a disappointment.  I sure fell for the hype.  I was just enjoying all the live shots of my old hood in Galveston.  Apparently all that happened is a lot of power went out.
