I agree. Watching the special on TV gave me chills. I just had to pray.

Well the media is just going to hype it all out of proportion and serve no greater purpose than to drive people into a panic. I guess these days that's pretty much their job description. It amuses me to watch those news guys stand on a beach waiting on the hurricane screaming and yelling about how many people could die, destruction of epic proportions, etc. etc. and then realize after it's over just how full of sh** they were.

Unfortunately, I can drive around and still see houses with "blue tarps."
Picture #11 says volumes about what happened to Galveston/Crystal Beach.

True,
Remember the Japan radiation that was approaching the US and was going to kill us?
Somehow Charlie Sheen and his girls managed to kill that story.
