Thousands of people who refused to evacuate have called for help.

Is it just me or do you not feel even slightly bad for them? They are told to evacuate, refuse, and now they want help.

^Insensitive, I know.

I can't stand how they put these reporters out there in their yellow raincoats just so we can see how dedicated they are.

Mike & Ike's?

I hope this rain doesn't cancel too many football games.

Mike & Ike's?

What are gas prices like? I don't want to look.

Over $4. Shot up anywhere between $0.20 to $0.35 Thursday night.

I paid $3.83 yesterday morning and by the afternoon I was seeing $4.12.

They've reported on the TV set that it's up over $5 in Florida and other parts of the south.
