Running Hurricane Ike thread

I know why you did it, Joe. But that photo, considering their fate, is depressing...

 

He's 65 now... he's a doddering old man... pick on him more...

 

Is there a way you could put that behind a cutaway or something Joe? I was trying really, really hard not to see that picture.

 

Stephen Dean, KPRC: You are a fool. :

Dude's stuck on the side of the road in southwest Houston with a flat in the trunk and another flat on the car. They got off I-45 to some on-scene reporting, encountered road debris and used the one spare tire they had. Then they hit the road again to make another report and ... got another flat. :

He says they're now stuck waiting for a tow ... "which will probably be in the morning." What a foof.

 

i'll change photos in a couple hours. I know it's not an easy photo to look at.

 

No. It's an easy photo to look at. It's a tough photo to look at if you know the back story

 

Look at Joe Schmoe's avatar and then visit the j-board

 

Holy shit, check out CNN -- the reporter is holding onto a downed traffic light!

 

Hadn't had contact with a friend down there in the last hour. Last I had heard, heavy rains were just starting to hit Houston. And winds had been heavy for hours.

 

And buckdub, that's storm porn...lol.

 

Halftime in Houston. I'm sure it's a fearsome score.

 

They're back for the second half in Galveston. This dude on CNN is getting friggin' pummeled.

Oh, oh, now the refs have pulled the players off the field. Took 'em long enough. Incredible.
