Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike is really causing a lot of power outages and flooding everywhere it goes. Terrible winds. Sounds like Houston has millions out of electricity and a great many trees down. High water in lower floors of hotels. The reporters really take their lives in their hands to bring us the latest news and show us the terrible rains, waves and winds. I sure wouldn't want their job. Just so they stay safe. They told a great many people to evacuate or it was certain to be their death and they ignored the warnings, thousands of them. I guess some said they didn't want to leave their pets. I know that has got to be hard but wouldn't it be worse to lose you own life and those of your family. Many of these people who stayed in Galveston had kids and it hit there very hard. Louisiana is getting hit hard in places too with levies breaking in several places with thousands of homes flooded. Just terrible.
