Z we will be fine.
There are plenty of shelters here.
If the wind gets really bad, we go to the school.

I think they are overdoing this.
My wife went out and bought bottled water.
I thought she was sane.
I thought wrong.

Its almost like asking people if they would like to know
when they are going to die. Too much info. Too much drama.

I hear ya.. I am sick up this years "Hurricane Rollercoaster" Ride. Last night I went to bed with not a worry about Ike.. Then by this morning that little "ut oh" voice popped up again..Now my stomach is in knots with worry of what I will see on the computers forcast in the a.m..

It is what is is right? and we either deal with it in the ways we know how or stay and risk everything... We got lucky here last week with Gustav missing us.. not so sure we can dodge the bullet twice.

tempting fate?
ntamm above says you haven't had a storm in 25 years...i remember when a storm hit galveston years ago, people had hurricane parties and rode out the storm. one house full of folks partying it up got swept out to sea, no survivors.
if you can get to safer, higher ground, i'd suggest it.

The hurricane that hit Galveston back 1900 was and still is the worst natural disaster on record.. 8,000 people died. One out of every 6 lost their life. This is why they have the Seawall there now.

I have see other parts of Houston flood many times over the years....am i saying never ? NO.....but i seriuosly doubt it.

Now if i was south of here.....i would be outa here.
Galveston verey well might be UNDER water...
good luck all!
