It's Panda Momentum Out There.

You would think that it was the end of the world if you have visited any grocery stores in the last 48 hours. People buying water, flashlights, and Chef Boyardee to get through this perfect storm known as Ike. Another item people can't get enough of is booze. Now I've never really been much of a drinker but is throwing a hurricane party really the best way to ride out a storm? "Oh my God the power is out, everyone drink the beer before it get's warm!" It makes me wonder if it effects the death toll in any way. People getting sloshed and thinking it would be cool to walk outside. Granted there are also sober people who do that. They're called weathermen. This is 2008. I think we know what windy looks like without having all of the Weather Channel employees running after their hats in a storm. Let's just put a camera out there and watch from the shelter of a building.
