Post Hurricane Ike

At around noon today, with untold damage in Galveston and Houston, and with at least three million customers out of power, I decided to click on the Weather Channel online to catch up on the news.

We don’t have cable (a waste of a perfectly good $50/month, in our experience) and the network TV stations all featured Dora and other cartoon characters providing essential entertainment to the children (and yes, the adults) of our fair nation.

I don’t know the name of the weather chick on the Internet, but dear Lord, was she cheerful! Texans REALLY need to find out who does her meds. Maybe they could put together a class-action suit against the doctor and each end up with enough money to buy the gasoline to get back home.

She showed a graphic displaying the information that the Houston area had been about 5” below their average rainfall for this year. And then she smiled hugely and said this, and I promise I am not making this up because, honestly, I’m not that clever:

Hurricane Ike “completely obliterated the area’s rainfall deficit.”

I’m thinking a certain someone could take sensitivity training from, I don’t know—Ann Curry? There’s a time to rejoice, but is it really in the face of such a huge disaster?
