Reply #85: I live near Port O'Connor

[sal]

I just read on Accuweather that the storm could possibly strengthen to a Catagory 5 because of some hot water about 300 miles near our coast. Depending on the size of the storm, we could be wiped away. Galveston and Corpus Christi destroyed in 1919) have sea walls, but Port Aransas, Port O'Connor and Freeport do not. The sea wall at Palacios is only about three feet above the water line.

Charlie in 2004, a Cat 1, literally pushed all the water out of upper Matagorda Bay and nearly wrecked Victoria. I have a feeling that duct-tape boy, the new FEMA head ring kisser, reflected the * administration's total inability to respond to an emergency at this point when he said the other day that we need to expect "no assistance" for 72 hours following a major catastrophy. This is policy now. They want to condition us to expect no response eventually. The chance that the government would respond the way people want, post-Katrina, relies on the resources available. Political will is great; however, the shocking incompetency of this regime make predicting a decent execution of any large undertaking seem foolish. Besides, * has fixed it so that there are no available resources right now. So I think everybody should prepare for the unimaginable, and hope for the best.

I think God loves everybody. Even sarcastic misanthropes. What I believe is what the old timers say, which is that a September storm is drawn to the heat. God feels the need to water Her garden. It has been so hot and dry all through the south and midwest. She needed to water the delta on up and that's what happened in Louisianna. There might be things in life more important than people, believe it or not. Storms are just doing their job. You might even say that they love cowboys because they make the grass and the flowers grow so the cows can eat. And so you can eat cows.

Pendejo!
