More Bad News about Ike

Firedoglake � Hurricane Ike May Dwarf Katrina In Wreaking Havoc: "Hurricane Ike is closing in on Texas, and stands poised to become one of the most damaging hurricanes of all time. Despite Ike's rated Category 2 strength, the hurricane is much larger and more powerful than Category 5 Katrina or Category 5 Rita. The storm surge from Ike could rival Katrina's, inundating a 200-mile stretch of coast from Galveston to Cameron, Louisiana with waters over 15 feet high."

Hey, Bill. Are you and Judy still at home or did y'all bug out and go to Austin?

Yep, I'm the proud owner of a generator and 7 gas cans, two of which actually have gasoline in them, and a siphon pump because we've got 4 vehicles here with full gas tanks. Much more convenient gasoline storage than those red gerry cans.

Wherever you are, be safe.

We're hanging in Alvin and beginning to regret it. Stay safe, yourself.
