I just saw George on CNN, for the first time ever, I did not see him smirk once, I'm amazed, and he actually seemed concerned.

We invaded the Mideast for their oil. Now a bunch of freak storms are going to destroy around one forth or our refineries. It's all the cock sucking republicans fault.

Torn - dont get fooled - he'll be going down there tomorrow to make sure all preps get halted while he gets photo ops - then he's going out to command ctr in the underground mountain cave to watch the place go to shit

Don't you just love the tuck tail and run presidents? I would fall out of my seat if we had a president who for once was like troops you can stay home I can win this one all by myself ;) better throw a pilgrim in there lol there we go..

lol, I was not fooled at all, that's why I said he SEEMED concerned.

What is up with my darn sig :( I only had the button with a lil link under it :(

k removed the things put the same sig up again within all limits on the rules wonder why it dissapeared? :(

I think he's very concerned. This might make its way to Crawford or damage some of the property that he and his buddies owns.

According to the mayod of Galvaston, they stopped bus service this morning and if you're still there you are own your own.

The weather channel interviewed a lady that spent 9 hours stuck in traffic, went less then 8 miles and decided to just go back home to Houston before she ran out of gas.

Is Bush drinking again?

|huh

urb - I dont think he ever stopped - he's got all the visible signs and characteristics of a full-blown alcoholic

Hurricane party at the white house ;)

That would explain give Brownie a job.

Yep I'm in Houston area and the traffic was just insane. I did finally try to go due to the urging of my parents, but I ran into the same problem. I used a half tank of gas just to go 20 miles in 7 hours. I had to go back home. Oh well. My kids were sweating in the car because I had to turn off the A/C to conserve gas/prevent overheating. Also had to give a couple a ride home that was stranded. At least they are safer at home than they would be stuck on the side of the road. Glad I could do one good thing for someone.

Genxer,

stay safe and take care of your family... you are in my prayers.

Stay safe GenXer...and stay away from the windows when the wind is really blowing hard.

I rode out hurricane Charley last year in a hotel about 20 miles south of landfall. The power of these things is amazing!

Be smart...give windows a wide berth...and watch for rising waters. You'll be okay man...and you'll have some breathtaking stories to tell afterwards :D

CNN is reporting that one of the NO levees has already started failing.

At least it isn't snowing…

I doubt there will be any levees left in NO after Rita :(

Now they are two of them :(

They are already saying that next year's season will be just as bad and could last for decades. :(

Wondering what it would cost to put a levee around my house and maybe raise it about ten feet. I'm in the X zone as far as floods go which is suppose to be a good thing but I haven't figured out how to actually tell whet the elevation is of my property is.

I'm home in a Houston suburb and it's getting a little ugly outside. Winds are picking up and it's getting a bit dark. I'm just hanging out and enjoying the electricity before it goes out.

Oh, btw, I had my baby on Wednesday and six hours later, the hospital went into evacuation mode, shut down and sent me and my 3 week early baby home. |cry|

Congratulations on having a new baby. I hope things go well for you.

Be careful, Lady Designer! I'm in Houston area too. If you need someone to talk to (while the internet is still up), you can ICQ me at 20402228. The winds ARE definitely picking up.

President Bush: The leader of white rich guys all over Texas. He is on the ground BEFORE the storm hits... Took him a week to get to New Orleans.

He is truly, truly pathetic.

Alex

He just cancelled the trip to Texas - figured he'd be in the way and the way they shut down streets when he goes through - that makes sense
He'd going directly to Colorado to that cave
