    Packer Rats in Texax: BEWARE! Ike is a mean SOB.

    I live in the Florida panhandle and we're already getting seas worse than Gus. The main thoroughfare through town is already underwater and closed off. THAT DIDN'T COME CLOSE TO HAPPENING WITH GUS, and Gus hit closer to us.

    Please, don't get complacent if you're in the path of this one. My sincere prayers are with all of you. Please be safe!!!

    A friend of mine in Galveston is already gone. He's learned the hard way in the past.

      Good for him. I don't think riding this one out is going to be smart. Ike seems to be pushing more water than usual. Surge could be a killer in the Galveston/Houston area.

        Hai guz. Did somebody say something about a hurricane? Don't worry, Galveston is safe. I say so.

          A few days ago, it looked like the Brownsville/South Padre Island area was the center. Yesterday, Corpus Christi seemed like the center, and it would be coming right up I35 in my direction. This morning, they're looking at Galveston where it comes ashore, and more like going up I45. That puts me on the outer fringe of it. If it moves any farther east, my area will miss it altogether, but Houston will get clobbered along with most of the oil refineries.

          The good news is it isn't strengthening like they expected--not yet, anyway.

            honestly, I would probably ride the storm out, unless I was right on the coast. Not that there is anything smart about this choice.

              The trend these days is evacuation. They're expecting 2-3,000 in our county, more than that in Waco, and some huge number in Austin.

              As long as I wasn't in a flood area, I, too, would rather stay home.

              Here, 200 miles inland, it's all just theoretical anyway.

                I left Houston two days ago and finally feel safe now that I've made it to Spokane.

                  Evacuating is only really necessary if you.....

                  1. Have somebody that requires medical attention
                  2. Live in a trailer home
                  3. Live in a flood-prone area
                  4. And if you have a cat 5 coming your way.

                  Rode out Wilma down here as well as Charley. Hurricane's are hyped a bit too much by the media, evac isn't really necessary for MOST people, IMO.

                        Left at 6 a.m. this morning, 2 hours before my evacuation was made mandatory. We got notice last night that JSC was closing at noon today, and that was enough for me and some friends to get out of dodge this morning.

                        It is nice that people got smarter and realized that if you're not in the southeast side, you need to STAY OFF THE DAMN INTERSTATE so those of us who actually need to get out can get out.

                        So now I'm stuck in the armpit of Texas (Dallas)...hopefully my house is unscathed when I return...

                            I understand the Texas-Arkansas football game has been postponed.

                            Though that game is relatively minor compared to other life events, I just wonder how many weddings, funerals, family reunions, business conferences, etc. have been cancelled to this event.

                              All over the eastern 2/3 of Texas, the Friday Night Lights were shining tonight--Thursday.
