Beerball Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I haven't been watching the news, it was a football weekend. Now that the Sunday night game is over the news is on. Galveston is a mess, uninhabitable right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Where ya at Beerball? Ike broke the levee's near my home like Rita did, only this time the water didn't get into my house. My whole little town looks like a lake right now, and I literally cannot see my yard. The house looks like it's floating, but at least i'm not bailing buckets of water out of my house tonight. I'll have a hell of a landscaping job to do as soon as the water goes down though. Me neighbor who's house sits lower than mine got 1 1/2 feet in their house. A house 8 houses down from mine got 5 feet of water in their house. Gustav significantly damaged my roof, and Ike nearly got the rest of it.

HopsGuy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Crude is down $6/bbl and the Dow futures are down 400. I hope everyone is doing well after the storms. The Galveston/Houston areas look rough. I'm sure we'll hear about surrounding areas being just as bad or worse just like with Mississippi during Katrina. At least we're 2-0.

Galveston is a mess, uninhabitable right now. I've got some family in the Houston area. I talked to one of them Saturday around Noon. He said they lost a couple of trees and a window. He told me another family member lost part of their roof. Most importanty though, everyone was safe. No power, but safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I keep thinking about how I don't feel sorry for all those people who were told to leave but refused, right up until I saw some 5 year old kid on the news this morning. He didn't have any say in the decision to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have any say in the decision to stay. 2 million people were asked to stay, many of them will be without power for up to a month, and have significant damage to their homes. Houston is pretty much without any gasoline either at the moment. There are signs in Austin telling people to not drive to Houston and Beaumont because of the lack of gasoline.
