Hurrican Ike Hits Houston

Well, Galveston Island is getting hit pretty hard. Turns out that thousands of residents did not obey the mandatory evacuation order t leave, and now that the storm surge is swallowing up everything, many are calling for help. But it is too late. The authorities are not getting anyone.

I can understand the reluctance to leave, especially aftyer the fiasco of the Rita evacuation 3 years ago. But I can also say I don't have much sympathy for them when it gets too difficult. In some stories, all those interviewed were getting their cases of beer, and getting drunk. What foolishness people!

Sad thing is that these people are not smart, let alone wise, they are ill prepared to do anything, and have no tools or equipment to get out or do anything.

Too late What were the thousands who ignored orders to flee from Ike's near-certain destruction thinking? It should have had the end title changed to .... what were they DRINKING! That is the foolishness of alcohol in our self centered society.
