Oh FU Ike, Just F. U.

Stupid storm.

I went to wallyworld with the rest of Houston at 10:30 PM. for water and batteries and course ground coffee for the french press. Oh, I am HAVING coffee, storm be damned.

Hopefully everything will be fine. We are about 45 miles from the gulf, so I am not expecting it to be too bad. We only briefly lost power during Rita, and this one is on the same path. I hope it stays that way and hits east of Houston so we will be on the clean side. Sorry, Louisiana, but I don't want the flooding and tornadoes, either.

Thanks.

Pray for the people in Freeport and galveston most of all though. that storm surge is going to really mess with Freeport

That's the only thing that I think would collapse all social order: the coffee stopping.

even without a storm.

Hope everything turns out alright ♥

Florida has really had its fair share, though.

CLEAN side??? We're on the DIRTY side!

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

riiiight.... which is why I said I wanted it to head East and go to LA so we would be on the clean side.

[juciest.livejournal.com]

I musta missed something there then.

Crap.

So far it looks like we're going to get what Rita didn't do. Tomorrow is going to be the witching hour for sure. If it keeps the current projected path and hits as a cat3~4, this town is going to go berserk again. Maybe not as on the same level as Rita, but it's still gonna be a mess.

I don't think people in Houston are going to try to bail like they did last time. As long as we don't have the Houston people spazzing out, we can let the people to the south out.

[robert-fox.livejournal.com]

You're right. People (for the most part) won't be spazzing out beauce we don't have the Katrina effect with this one. Hehe But there will still be enought people to make it quasi-crazy-go-nuts. And the media.. ..don't forget the media. They'll milk it.
