Hurricanes

It looks like the first hurricane is going to hit Texas. Last I heard they thought it would be a category #1. However, it could become category #2 once on land. But they are also thinking the winds could die down once it hits land. Today I saw pictures on television of all the people on the beaches, little children playing in the water and on the sand. Are they nuts? People are boarding up their homes and businesses and people were out playing in the ocean like there was nothing wrong. I can't believe people sometimes, can you?
