Ike Hype
I've been following Hurricane Ike updates online; haven't felt like turning on the TV. Maybe I'll do it just to test how long I can watch it before getting sick and tired of it.
Came across this video on weather.com. One sentence caught my ear:
"Church members say after their prayers, Edouard slowed and turned right, and Gustav went to Louisiana."
I think it's normal when people turn to faith in times of crisis, but ... can they truly celebrate that they "diverted" Hurricane Gustav so that it didn't hit us here in Houston but instead our neighbors in Louisiana? "Hooray! It didn't hit us! It hit them! Whahahaaahaaa! We rock!!!"
In the meantime ... I'll be filling up on drinking water and shopping for bananas. ;)
