I just talked to my niece who is a teacher in Comal ISD and she said several schools have already announced that they'll close at noon Friday so people can get home plus several schools will be closed tomorrow and Friday because they are designated evacuation shelters...that makes sense.
A lot of the schools have moved or cancelled sporting events scheduled for the weekend. Johnson moved the varsity football game from Saturday at Blossom to tomorrow at the Alamodome.
It's all Steve "I bought a generator and am scaring the out of everybody" Brown. However, A cat 4 hurricane won't be hitting SA, but you know how bad flooding is. Also we have to worry about tornadoes. So I guess its smart to be out of the streets by that time. Gosh tornadoes scare me.
so i have this to look forward to when i return home tomorrow?
they better ing have bread at heb, so i can make me a sammich on friday, dont really want to drive all the way to my folks to bum a sammich off them on friday.
Forecast for San Antonio (yes, San Antonio!) is heavy rains and 50-60mph sustained winds, with gusts up to 80. We're not used to this kind of up here...lol. We had gusts of about 30 a couple of weeks ago and I thought my house was going to blow down. And it's only 2 years old.Yeesh. Ike will fizzle out bigtime before it gets to SA. I guess all of these people weren't around for hurricane Allen back in the day. Now that was a hurricane!
We were going to go out for Chris' birthday on Saturday ... now we are just going to stay in and I'll make something special. I hope everyone isn't stocking up on king crab legs and scallops!
I'm fully prepared for some bad ass weather from Ike, no doubt about it. As long as I have my Dove milk chocolate, a couple bottles of wine and some frozen pizzas in the freezer, we'll be fine.Forecast for San Antonio (yes, San Antonio!) is heavy rains and 50-60mph sustained winds, with gusts up to 80.

Fatsack's bummed b/c the band he plays in had a gig lined up for Saturday night and it got cancelled because of the "impending inclement weather".
I need to stock up on crown royal
Hit Costco before they close tomorrow night.
Yea it was crazy at work today, I work in the business center and Monday is going to suck balls. Just like Y2K when everyone bought everything under the roof and then what happen the next day when everything work fine? EVERYBODY returned everything they bought and would not admit they were just panic at the time.
Blamed it on the husband on over shopping or my sister bought the same stuff to all kinds of crazy stories. WTF just say I was a scared out of my mind.
HEB shouldnt take back that these ing idiots bought.
No kidding. You shouldn't be able to return food regardless.

ing hurricane ing up my game and .
You got that right!
And other party materials...........
Ease up on all the paper products please!
If this thing doesn't move any further East I expect quite a few downed power lines in SA from tree limbs breaking which can potentially knock out substations. The people that live out in the newer areas with underground utilities will probably be OK, but older areas with overhead lines could be affected...Some areas could be out of power for a day or two...We aren't gonna die, but 60+ mph winds (which will be out of the north) can wreak havoc on a power grid in an area like San Antonio with lots of big trees...
was the beer still fully stocked?
thats all i care about....
There was a beer truck in the parking lot this morning.

great just in case i run out this weekend!
, I just got back from "my" HEB, and every freakin' welfare case was in there. Man I've never seen so many kidney belts hanging in the beer & wine aisle, in my life. And son of a , if they didn't have my Chard. Box
I think we will get alot more rain than people think. There is also TS Lowell in the Pacific that is going to converge with Ike and bring chingos and chingos of rain!
Look at the bright side, next week there are going to be lots of generators available cheap.
Agreed, gonna start looking on Craigslist.
My daughter is in the Comal ISD. Yesterday I received a recorded call saying 2 elementaries & 1 middle school would be closed thursday and Friday to become evacuation shelters for people coming in from the coastal areas. Then today, I received another call & an emergency email saying that ALL of the Comal ISD schools will be letting out early tomorrow.
Here is a copy of today's email:
Prepared by the Comal ISD Communications Office
Our Comal ISD superintendent has decided to release everyone early tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 12, according to the following schedule:
Elementary Schools......1:15 pm
Secondary Schools.......2:25 pm
Support Services Center......3 pm
There will be no after-school child care provided due to the early release schedule.
This decision was made in an effort to get people home safely and early as thousands of evacuees from the Gulf Coast and Houston area make their way to our area.
If there are any changes to athletic events still scheduled for Friday we’ll let you know through our website, www.comalisd.org, under News and Events.
how does that make you feel that your school taxes are being wasted...why not put these people in the dome,at&t center, convention centers and the shelters we have here...it just gets to me that our schools are being ed with...but I know the kids dig it
Had an email this mornning from one of my sons teachers (Johnson HS) saying that because of the threat of the hurricane, the test scheduled for today is being rescheduled for Monday. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I'm sure my son will be thrilled!
