Made a quick trip into "downtown" Mauriceville. Lots of people have stayed, but all businesses are closed up tight. The only thing of note I saw was 3 DPS troopers sitting/waiting at Crawdad's store....

Wow that's scary...r u serious?

[WOS92]

Of course. People in Galveston who are "hunkering down" will be lucky to survive. I think that's a good, strong message and an efficient way of identifying bodies.

Please post a link on that guys...

KHOU reporting mayor of Galveston claiming she got conflicting weather reports and didn't think it would be this bad....This HAG said on Tuesday it was probably too late to evacuate!

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

Ok guys...Kerry just said Triangle will likely get the worst weather due to the shape of the storm...BUNKER DOWN!

In regards to the SS# story, I heard it on FOX News Radio in DFW.

[WOSHIGHc/o2001]

I just relayed that to my family about the SSN.  They couldn't believe it.

wow.

yeah Coop, any word on P.A.?

[82 5A State Champs]

I've got this thing all figured out. This Ike thing, it aint so bad.  ;D TWC is really making it out to be alot worse than it is, IMO. I live in Beaumont's west end, and the wind is barely blowing here, yet. The media makes this thing sound like it's gonna blow Galveston from it's hinges. I personally think it's an attempt to get more people to tune in, probably so they can sell more commercials! I realize that it hasn't even made landfall yet, but most of us that have lived here our whole lives have been through hurricanes before. We'll make it through this. I'm just trying to put a positive spin on this thing!

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

And local officials were contemplating evacs.... >

Anyway, here is Examiner reporter Jerry Jordan on the PA seawall just a few minutes ago...Video
