elessai have no sympathy for the people of texas who have decided not to evacuate from hurricane ike. Some 37,000 people may need to be rescued after Hurricane Ike strikes, a U.S. military official said Friday.
the storm surge is predicted to be 20' or higher.
the media has given updates as the storm approaches for days. i suspect people are hearing "category 2" and shrugging it off. they aren't listening to the rest of the information regarding the surge and waves which have the potential of going inland twenty miles.
why should anyone in law enforcement, human services, coast guard, etc. risk their lives to rescue the foolish?
people who remain in galveston and houston chose their fate. let them meet it.
