There's all kinds of people at the pumps today. Of course this has nothing to do with price increases.

I have family in the Houston area who left on Wednesday to Dallas.  They're right by Bay City, TX and it doesnt look good for that entire area.  One place im acutally worried about it this place called
Moody Gardens in Galveston. Its a really cool place but its a Glass Pyramid  :-\

Did you see about the bus that blew up that was evacuating people (elderly) from Houston? Also, the news this morning was saying there was 100 MILE traffic jams with people trying to get out of Houston.

Ha.  Homeland Security seems to have done a lot of great planning since they got borned. 

Also, Houston is second only to L.A. in Suck.

I've got a friend down there, she said it took her realatives 24 hours to drive a distance that normally takes 3 hours. I assume there wasn't a large field they could cut through somewhere along the way.

All those SUVs just parked on the highway.  Funny.  Lousy, but funny.

if it hasnt changed direction, getting this strong now is kinda a good thing...it's rare for a storm to sustain a category 5 strength.

it will probably hit land a high 3 or low 4.

still thats nothing to take lightly. but unless it drops to a 4 then comes back up to a 5 (rare) then this is a better than worse case scenerio

downgraded again to a 3

Guys, its 125 mph winds. Not exactly what you call a nice breeze.

Pshaw.  I've driven both four and two wheeled contraptions faster than that.

Did you drive them into the back of a parked truck that was carrying fence posts?

Sounds like a day in the park
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
