Flashermac Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 << Tennessee -- two, both golfers killed by a falling tree. >> Figures. What's a little storm to golfers. p.s. 'Crazy jarhead' stays behind in Surfside SURFSIDE BEACH â?? Ray Wilkinson doesn't consider himself a hero for being the only Surfside Beach resident to ride out Hurricane Ike in his home. Rather, the 67-year-old Marine Corps veteran considers himself to be the only one "stupid enough" to stay behind. "I'm just a crazy, old hardhead," said Wilkinson, while sitting on the front porch of his Fort Velasco Boulevard apartment today. "I didn't say I had all my marbles."

Bangkoktraveler Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Was the reason there were so few deaths was because god wasn't as mad with them as he was when Katrina hit land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Was the reason there were so few deaths was because god wasn't as mad with them as he was when Katrina hit land? Or was it that some of the gays were chased out of the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSTEACH Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26765035/ Where are the missing in Galveston? Officials think some were swept out to sea maybe to never be recovered. Happened after Katrina, probably the same with Ike. Next time an evacuation is ordered, maybe more will leave.
