Hurricane Ike!

Hurricane Ike slammed the coast of Galveston with 110-mph winds. With heavy rain and towering waves the calls started to come in for help. As always there are a few who always think it won’t happen to them. I never really understood why people that are given mandatory evacuations stick around. I read that there were about 140,000 people who stuck it out, makes no sense to me. So far on report that 2 people have died related to the storm. But many are still missing and fared dead. Hopefully rescuers will be able to get to more survivors this morning. Ike came in like a lion and is now leaving like one. This storm will cause major flooding as it rolls north. I will end with saying, relief from major storm as stop for now. There are no reported hurricanes as of today.
