Did you hear the NWS warning for Galveston? "Those who remain in one and two-story structures face certain death." I've don't know that I've ever heard a "certain death" warning before.
Quote:
Floodwaters surged into Galveston Island neighborhoods Friday morning with the center of Hurricane Ike still more than 200 miles from landfall.
Waves washed for blocks inland, the beginning of a storm surge that forecasters warned could reach up to 22 feet and bring "certain death" to anyone who remained in Galveston Bay homes.
Rarely do forecasters use such forceful language.
