I've been living in the Dallas area for 20 years, and i've never seen any rain from a hurricane since i've been here. As a matter of fact, the only weather related incident i've seen from a hurricane is it dropped to 70 degrees and was really windy when Gustav hit a couple of weeks ago.
Ike is now a Category 3 hurricane, and in Galveston it started flooding b/c of the storm surge the hurricane brings when the hurricane was still 200 MILES AWAY. They are expecting to get another 2 feet of rain b/c of the hurricane. My friend was there and the "Flood Wall" that galveston created at 5 P.M. today (four hours ago) and said that water was already overflowing over the wall. The wall is 17 feet tall.
From my understanding, the last Cat-3 hurricane that hit Galveston was in the year 1900, and 1,600 people died. Obv, they didn't have technology that said would make them aware of a hurricane, and they couldn't evacuate, so the death toll won't be as high, but damn.
Going back to the "i've never seen the effects of a hurricane in Dallas", If the hurricane stays true to it's size and path, it will hit Galveston as a Cat-3, then it will be a Cat-2 when it reaches Waco, then then a Cat-1 HURRICANE when it hits DALLAS, finally turning into a tropical storm when it gets into OKLAHOMA.
So Galveston is flooded, hurricane has yet to make landfall, expected at 1A.M., they will get 2 more feet of rain. Dallas will be hit by a hurricane, and my games tomorrow will be cancelled.
On the positive, i made my own LP avatar for the weekly loto

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |
