gail811 Posted September 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It amazes me as I watch those four channels report, that there are people out there sitting on their porches refusing to leave! How horrible for those that love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted September 12, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It amazes me as I watch those four channels report, that there are people out there sitting on their porches refusing to leave! How horrible for those that love them! my thoughts exactly. I was just talking to my husband about this a few minutes ago. What a bunch of dumb A##s.

wecamp Posted September 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thanks for posting this. I noticed scrolling at the bottom of the screen it said Carnival has already offered ships for the homeless just like they did in Katrina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havinsnest Posted September 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm watching Houston's Channel 11 news (from the safety of my house in Arlington) with live shots from the Island. Water, water, everywhere and now there is a fire at the Port. :(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieastrosfan Posted September 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2008 KHOU just announced the fire is off of Harborside right by UTMB, at the yacht club. That's about what, 2 miles tops from the cruise terminal? Appears to be a blown transformer that caught some gas on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuak Posted September 12, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm watching updates on CNN, and its looking worse by the hour. Not sure why, but nothing is being mentioned, on the network channels here in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonniemari Posted September 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2008 ALso Direct TV is broadcasting one of the Houston channels (KHOU) on 361. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguppies Posted September 12, 2008 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2008 ALso Direct TV is broadcasting one of the Houston channels (KHOU) on 361. Thanks for that heads up... I love the little things DirecTV does. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglinc@msn.com Posted September 12, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm watching updates on CNN, and its looking worse by the hour. Not sure why, but nothing is being mentioned, on the network channels here in Dallas. Most of the network channels are more interested in what Obama is doing than the hurricane.

KLLund Posted September 12, 2008 #16 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Excellent site .. being in Oregon I am following this closely because I Have a son in the area and cannot reach him so watching his area closely .. this is really helpful to me and I wanted to thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguppies Posted September 13, 2008 #17 Share Posted September 13, 2008 FEMA would be a fool to do the cruise ship thing again. They might as well donate the ship that cruises out of Galveston, since it is doubtful they will be cruising from there anytime in the near future. (since the entire island is supposed to be under 17-20 feet of water.) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s & h Posted September 13, 2008 #24 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Have been reading these threads today on update of Ike. FYI not everyone who stayed is an a##. Some of us have to stay for emergency services directly before and rescue after. DH and I would have liked to leave. We are already experiencing sporadic power outages, having to deal with some a## who are drinking and setting off fire works in their yards and high winds. Just remember that some people HAVE to stay to deal with those that should have left. Not all are idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
