So I'm pretty sure they'll be selling "I survived hurricane Ike!" T-shirts soon... They already started throwing "Hurricane Ike After-Party"'s. Houston faired okay, minus the annoyances of the absence of modern conveniences (lo and behold, all of today's modern marvels operate on electricity! And many here have no power at all... some are running generators for neccesities, and there is one unconfirmed report of a hamster-driven power device though the source of this report is still under investigation). There's alot of foolish speculating about it being "one of the most devestating storms in this city's history", but the kitten like storm didn't even manage to wipe out my enemies, so I've deemed it a failure. *smokes a corn-cob pipe and looks of finto the distance all squinty-eyed* I stood in the brute lashing rain and endured the gale forced winds. Arrr... she was nary a fledgling.
