Hurricane Ike kicks Our Ass
We didn't dodge the bullet this time. We ran to Tomball and are quite safe. But Ike tore up Galveston, and our lives. We are doing well, but Ike filled my car and home with the backwaters of Galveston Bay.Its been an adventure and I will tell more about it later. We just got electric at our refugee camp an hour ago. Tomorrow I return to work for the first time since the adventure began, and I'm tired.
I do find it interesting that 4 days after the storm CNN reports that problems are being solved at Starbucks coffee clutches.
Java was flowing Wednesday at nearly half of the Houston area's 150
Starbucks locations. Perhaps just as welcome to weary residents: So were ideas
about how they could give or receive a helping hand.
"People will be drinking
their coffee, and they'll be talking about clearing out their front lawn [of
debris]. Someone will say, 'I know someone who can take care of that,' " Amy
Christensen, a Houston-based director of business operations for Starbucks, said Wednesday.
Believe me Ike was much more than coffee house chatter fodder for those of us forced to live with it. CNN has shown a poor understanding on the effect of this storm on those directly involved and the rest of the nation. Our ordeal that follows this event will be much more than coffee house gossip
