Hurricane Ike....you thoughts?

I live in Texas, so I'm pretty much fucked.

Huriccane = Bad.

"Make sure you lock up good, and get the hell out? I don't know anything about it. How strong is it?"

"Make sure you lock up good, and get the hell out? I don't know anything about it. How strong is it?"

GTFO then. Go chill out up north.

My thoughts: good luck to anybody who is in the impact zone, and hope you manage to get out and/or are safe.

I'm from New Orleans, and my parents are still there. Katrina sucked, and they left for Gustav. I'm glad New Orleans isn't getting hit again, but I wish you the best of luck!!

"Huriccane = Bad."

I really hope everyone is and will be alright.

but on a brighter note, the hurricane gave Baltimore a monday night football game, something that we really need this season.

God i love living in the UK we don't get any of this crazy weather or anything remotely similar.

Good luck to those crazy few who decided to stay and not to run like mad and evacuate the areas to be affected.

Yeah, not only is it gonna be hell for a lot of people in the south, it's fucking up gas prices as well. Damn you mother nature...DAAAMN YOUUUU!

cause like a dozen oil wells to shut down and making gas prices go waaaaay up here in florida.

Hope everyone is okay. Stay safe!

if my power goes out because of this....hmmm....a week without video game/giantbomb!

I live in the Midwest... so I filled up on gas tonight. =P

Geraldo Rivera is a badass, he's reporting live while standing on Galveston's sea wall.

Boy, do I love being on a plateau in a tropical country.

Living in Germany is great sometimes, no accursed hurricanes here:D.

Best of luck to whoever was screwed over by Ike.

Here's the situation:

There are thousands of people stranded, and they are without electricity and water.

All the power lines are down, and buried beneath around 5 feet of water.

The water pumps are mostly contaminated.

Yet the media is able to broadcast live?

Ike is my favorite Brawl character. :3

Wind and rain.

I'm up in Waco, and we've been getting some light showers, scattered mostly.  Winds have been about 15-20mph.  I was watching the news coverage from Galveston and Houston, and they got F-U-C-K-E-D up!  It's funny that I've lived in Texas for this long and never realized how close to the coast Houston is.

For the first time I can say this seriously. First thought was, "OH SHI-"

"Sadly"

Wisconsin FTW!

"I live in Texas, so I'm pretty much fucked."

I own a car, so the current hike in gas prices really hurts my mobility.

Just read a news article and it said it wasn't the "catastrophic" event they had anticipated. Also that it turned into a tropical storm, and not nearly as strong as it was in its earlier stage.

Unfortunately they said 4 people have died in Texas so far.
