1. I'm in South Mississippi
a long way from Ike and he's pounding the hell out of us, not much rain but pretty strong winds.

4. Houston should be okay, It's people on Galveston Island that are taking a crazy risk
only 50% evacuated? That's just nuts.

8. The Evacuation Order for Galveston Included the Words "Certain Death"
"All neighborhoods ... and possibly entire coastal communities ... will be inundated during the period of peak storm tide," the advisory said. "Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single-family one- or two-story homes will face certain death."
