time for some comic tension relief:

Cnn is saying that they're expecting up to 24 inches of rain in some areas inland in texas. That coupled with storm surge that MIGHT make it up the rivers by up to 20 miles. Wow, this is the sort of stuff that reversed the flow of the mississippi so many years ago huh?

I cannot beleive these morons on CNN who sit there in 125mph winds reporting what could be their own deaths if a piece of debris comes by and hits them. It reminds me of the main weather guy talking on his cellphone in LA during the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow" when the house runs him over. It makes me so mad that these guys might encourage people to stay during the next hurricane. If i'm Joe Q Public and i see someone STANDING in the middle of a vortex, i might say "hell, he can stand up in it, I might as well sit in my house instead of leaving next time".
