PICTURE OF THE DAY

(Y)IKE….!!! Hurricane Ike is barelling down on Houston forcing hundreds of thousands to flee, and sparking a dire warning for those remaining in low-lying areas.

So, after a world class “under reaction” for Katrina, check out what the National Hurricane Center is saying about Ike: "All neighborhoods, and possibly entire coastal communities, will be inundated during the period of peak storm tide. Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single family, one- or two-story homes will face certain death."

Certain death...not a lot wiggle room there.

Can’t say you weren’t warned…
