Hurricane Ike

Quote:

Governor Perry just had a press conference. He went a little overboard but I think I understand he was trying to get people to evacuate.

He mentioned that the worse case scenario half a million could die.

That's a little "OUT THERE"

On what does he base that number ?

There are so many NorthCom air assets moving that way into staging, that it won't be a repeat of Katrina.

They've even stood-up a mobile air-rescue coordination center.

	Hurricane Ike It looks like they are already having violation of the price gouging law in Harris County. The country attorney was just on warning people they are getting reports and that he is coordinating a response with the state Attorney General.
