Ok... first off I hope that everyone in Texas isn't majorly affected by Ike. A hurricane is a shitty situation especially when flooding is involved.I dont wish that on anyone. But I mean seriously guys WTF wishing this **** would hit N.O.??? and these comments about burn New Orleans? What in the **** is wrong with you? People live in that place and have for there entire lives, have businesses there, everything they know is there. New Orleans contrary to what you believe is a very beautiful place in its own way... As is a lot of south Louisiana. Granted you may have aquired some unwanted visitors, but so have alot of people. I mean baton rouge, ****, I dont think it will ever be the same. But dont take that **** out on an entire city, that is just ignorant.
Basically, sorry for the rant... just think before you speak/type.
Basically, sorry for the rant... just think before you speak/type. Luckily, I don't have any major damage to my house. I have massive tree branches (12"+ diameter) down. One destroyed a trellis in our back yard, a couple fucked up my fence, and one crushed the side of my boat. One of my pine trees (they are about 50ft tall) snapped in half. My back yard is like a damn jungle. I can barely walk back there. We still have no power.
This is wonderful.
Since I still don't have power, I went and looted a case of PacMan Jones jerseys, a Playstation 3, a 50" TV, and a gold chain from my local retail store...gotta have the "necessities".

I'm fortunate that my family is alright, we did loose a roof on our primary residence, and our family had a Beach house on Bolivar Pennisulia, but that's an issue for the insurance companies to handle. My only complaint is the long gas lines.
what stupid is everyone was all worried about new orleans in katrina, um they didnt even get the worst of it did it was all mississippi and alabama that had the worst of the damage.
Just like with ike they talk and talk about galveston, why dont the go east a littleways and brodcast the damage from thoes towns, im sure its worse than galveston.
Still dont have power on day 6

If ANYONE does this, make sure you remove the meter from the pole, that way the back feed cannot happen.

Man I hate to hear so many folks are still having problems. My folks live in Houston, and they were without power and water for awhile but luckily they have both running again, they also lost all of the fencing around their house. Hope the rest of you get back on your feet again soon.
just found some internet finally, i had gone out to texas city around 6 PM Friday to get vids and pics for everyone. On way home got sidetracked, and by the time i got on comp had no internet. sorry the updates are a week late, but heres what i got!
shortly after i got done taking this video the water made it onto 45 as i was leaving.

45 was 99% like this from exit 55, all the way to highway 146 exit.
where i took the vid. stillted houses already almost under water
don't cross the double white line
this up the road just a little bit
this 12-16 ft drainage ditch by my place never has water in it, and here it is overflowing into peoples houses. ON SUNDAY.
almost under
I have several more vids, and alot more pics. running to slow to get it all though.
