*HURRICANE IKE AFTERMATH AND COMMENTS*

[tvc184]

leaving it up to us means forcing many of us to stay.  let's see how the meeting tonight at 9:30 goes.

The 9:30PM meeting?

[PURPLE 4EVER]

One of the largest metropolitan areas in the country could be facing category 3 hurricane winds, and there still isn't a coordinated evacuation effort.

I foresee an unorganized mass exodus out of Houston tomorrow.

Looking at the satellite loops of the storm, it is getting larger and the eye wall is getting better organized.

Start driving now they could.

yes Yoda!

its simple they evacuated last week and they looked stupid becasue we didn't get anything and now this week they don't want to pull the trigger and guess what they have left alot of people in a bind....

I agree coop. But the question is can they do it quick enough. They had lines of Charter buses drive by my job today. Hopefully they can turn some of those to our area. They are saying Houston may only get 200 buses.

They could be here in 5-6 hours

[Guest baseball25]

Yep they have screw up big time coop....when you going to leave coop....I talk to nathan about 30 mins ago and he said he's getting worried...

Well I applied for the emergency management coordinator job for the SETX regional planning commission. I am glad that I did not get that job.  I do have to say this though. I hope that we can sit back and laugh at how worked up we got in a few days.

most of the models on www.stormpulse.com show that thing making landfall in the neighborhood of Corpus Christi, Port O'Connor, and Galveston. Hopefully it will not move much further north than projected.

This is not new orleans and I don't need help or guidance from the officials.   My family wants to leave and they would have left today except we have no word on school closures.  How hard is that?  Now they get stuck in traffic with everyone else,   Why?

It's a little odd that more people here are more worked up about this than people in Galveston...

Could have just let them skip...Then write them a note to the office saying they got sick...That's how I rolled when I went through...Sometimes you have to work the system and this would be the perfect time.
