Not that this has much to do with Tacoma and its surroundings, but it's dominating the news cycle today and dominating much of my concentration. One of my besties lives in Houston and is drinking heavily and hunkering down in hopes that the hurricane won't pick him up and drop him in Oz. Here's his most important live update from The Storm Zone:

So we're dealing with Hurricane Ike. When I noticed it would be hitting the Texas coast I immediately sought to find out if there is a Tina, Texas. Alas, there is not.

However, tickets to TINA TURNER'S CONCERT go on sale Monday. Yes, Monday.

And that's why he's one of my besties.

Do y'all have people you're worried about in that area of the country? If WE were facing a 900-mile wide storm, how would you be passing the time? Or would you high-tail it out of town? I'm fairly certain I would be hiding under my bed with a bottle of Grey Goose.

Also, check out this amazing satellite image of Hurricane Ike from space. Can we please have our A1 story on this hurricane tomorrow be Hurricane YIkes?!
