Hurricane Party

The sign is typical of the Texas statement, "Hold my beer & watch this"!


Poem Artwork

It’s where I could be found,
And helping any wayward hound,
I surely wouldn’t be on low ground,
At the very least, away from the storm I’d be bound…

The southern coast of Texas is getting slammed,
To get to the beaches there is banned,
Guess the folks stuck there feel altogether damned,
But, hey, have yourselves a party & eat ham of the variety canned…

Wish I could of you join,
I hope the storm does soon blow away,
Though to make repairs afterwards,
Will cost a great deal of coin,
But for now get yourselves off your ass drunk,
It will be more fun if in the storm you find yourself sunk.

A most apt and timely write, Ed; I guess your suggestion could be taken seriously by some. Love and peace,

No word of a deadly storm surge. But the videos I saw of Aransas and Rockport lead me to think that drunks that stayed risked their lives.

Lived in Homestead during Andrew. There was nothing left when we returned. We were told to evacuate. I helped ferry 24 F-16 fighter aircraft to Georgia and came back home after a few weeks. There was no home! It was totaled! My motto today is, "When in doubt, get the hell out!"

Been in a few storms and just happy and thankful to have survived with God's help. I pray for those in dire need of prayers,

Forget about the beer; I'd run like hell.

Those hurricanes are to be avoided and what better way that lost at a party. Cheers and keep safe. John

As Jimmy Buffett would say, Tryin' to reason with a hurricane season. Here in Ohio, we only get the storm cellar blues, and besides, I heard Trump is going to pardon Harvey.

Been involved in a few Hurricane Parties in my time. Its almost like slaming the door on reality. Eh, but when you are young, you don't sweat the small stuff. Enjoyed this, brought back some old memories.
