    So sad. Do you have insurance? No one thought Ike would pack such a big punch

    The rain this morning didn't help, there is a leakage in the garage roof there this morning.

    Unfortunately my insurance is double the deductible for tropical cyclone(hurricane) ... $1500 for structural $3000 for structural due to tropical cyclone(hurricane). Fortunately in Katy I got minimal damage. It all depends on how your individual policy is written.

    Why couldn't have Valdos washed away? Worst waste of $100 meal I've EVER had. Total **** hole.

    Sarcasm of course, but god that meal was bad.

    Should be able to, just click reply, then the little box ^ with the mountain and sun in it up in the B I U row, and then put the url of the pic into the blank.

    You can host them for free on imageshack.us.

    Dr. Neil kept saying that the surge was easily a "high 4" and that the geographical area covered and the energy was "like a 5."


    I think wind speed alone is a poor gauge of the overall storm's power.
