Officials: Flee Ike or 'face certain death'





they may be wrong but they may be right! Haveing been through 2 BAD
ones and several false ones I understand where you are coming from but
given the shear size of this beast I would be erring on the safe side.
JMHO. we hope to hear from ya in a few days. good luck to our
houstonians and those from surrounding area's. I realy hope the media
is just hyping it up! :-]

The point I am trying to make is that 98% of the news coverage is more of
a
holiday for the reporters to play at the beach. They really are not being
of any help at all. Only the announcement by city officials are of any
value. And as I stated in another response, the local government only
wants those in certain zip codes to evacuate and for every one else to
stay in
place to make room on the roads for the those that need to evacuate. It
would be impossible for every one in the Houston Metro area to flee Ike,
that was proven with disastrous results 3 years ago with Rita.



lmao. I know what you are saying. they make it realy hard to believe
them! If you are at least 30 feet above sea level there probly isnt
much to worry about exept wind and rain. I just hope the oil rigs and
refineries come through all this in good shape. our gas here in N.C.
has gone up over 50 cents a gallon in the lest 3 days! We are over 4
bucks a gallon in some places again! It's all bull****! IF stuff gets
destroyed THEN we should see the rising prices. NOT NOW!!! anyway our
thoughts are with you folks down there and hope all goes well. KEEP UR
HEAD DOWN!!! :- ]

Gas went up 13 cents a litre here in Toronto, Ontario Canada last night,
which is just shy of 50 cents a US gallon. We have our own gas and oil,
and are a major exporter to the US, go figure.

I just can't understand it.


yeh go figgure! In a word..... GREED !!!!!!!!!!!!! grab ur ankles! I
would laugh but it aint funny!
