One of the Houston stations said as much as 40% of Galveston's population stayed....


Wow.

Hope they have gills.

More morons there than I thought.


Awesome.

[Sense]

We decided to stay in Lufkin... apparently it won't affect much, there are shelters here.

I guarantee if several thousand people get Darwin'ed at Galveston the media will blame it on Bush.

Death, taxes, bush's fault.

The thing that pisses me off about people who refuse to leave is that they put the rescuers' lives in danger having to save their sorry ass.

I don't think they're going after them. They've told people to write their names and SS#'s on their arms for easy identification........of the dead. If that isn't enough to make people leave, they deserve what's coming.

There is some bar in Galveston with about 30 people drinking the storm out. They'll be dead soon, I think. There was another picture on msnbc.com's front page a bit ago and it was some woman standing there next to the seawall with the water jumping over, and the dumb was holding a toddler. Pissed me off to no end.

I hadn't heard that about the SS #.

God, people are dumb.

That never works. Have none of them seen Shawn of the Dead?

[Many PackYao]

We're beginning to get some wind over here in Houston.

[T Park]

15 to 22 foot storm surge in Galveston right now supposedly.

[T Park]

Be carefull peeps in Houston near the KEMA boardwalk.

There are seriously heavy huge amusement rides on that pier that will be dislodged.

Stay away from that area.

Real talk, the expert has spoken!

[Extra Stout]

It's getting windy around here.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Side note, just got in and saw the radar. Damn, Ike's pulled himself together and developed a pretty nice eye. Even more bad news for Darwin's children (aka, anyone still in Galveston).

Wow, I'm sure the people in Kemah would have never thought to get away from the Boardwalk. I mean it's a good solid 10 feet from the 'walk to the water...

Wow Aggie being a head, I would've never thought of that.

Nah - if that were the case it would be over the seawall and its not.

[T Park]

Real talk, the expert has spoken!

Hardly, but seriously, those things are 60 and 70 feet tall and are gonna get washed inland, and anyone within 20 miles of those things are gonna have those gigantic 15 20 ton rides busting through their houses.

[T Park]

Hurricane winds just jumped from 109 to 110. Seems its getting stronger and stronger.

[T Park]

Nah - if that were the case it would be over the seawall and its not.

Apologies, thats running on the bottom of the news crawler on Channel 11 in Houston.

[Ginofan]

40% of the population? Is that accurate? If so, jesus christ...there are no words, damn!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Okay, in the entirely too much information department... I've got clients in that neck of the woods. From the looks of things, here's where the Weather Channel team looks to be set up.

Man, we've had alot of LARGE shipments sent in through tanker boat in Galveston, and to think the area where we have gotten the items, will be UNDER WATER, is just mindblowing...
