This is for a good cause!
I came online to check on Twinneh Kor,
It seems like he can't come online because of the hurricane.
A silent prayer for Twinneh in Texas to be alright.
Dear God,
Please let Twinneh and the people in Texas be okay.
That Hurricane Ike will cause as little hurt as possible to the people
and as little damage as possible.
Please help guild them to safety.
And help those who lost their lost ones in the hurricane
not give up hope and find the strength to recover from their lost.
Amen.
Kenny Yew! You better be alright!!! D:
OhMyGoodness.
I was looking up Hurricane Ike in Yahoo.
And I went to wikipedia.
Well, the information is really upsetting!
Please please please let him be alright ):
I shall quote some and paste it here.
Hopefully, the damage is not as bad as it's written:
Hurricane Ike was the ninth named storm, and fifth hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It was a Cape Verde-type hurricane, as it started as a tropical disturbance off the coast of Africa near the end of August, then tracked south of Cape Verde and slowly developed. On September 1, it became a tropical storm west of the Cape Verde islands.
By the early morning hours of September 4, Ike was a Category 4 hurricane, hitting its peak of 145 mph (230 km/h) winds and a pressure of 935 mbar (27.61 inHg). That made it the most intense storm so far in the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. At one point the diameter of Ike's tropical storm and hurricane force winds were 450 and 190 miles (720 and 305 km), respectively. Ike has been blamed for 120 deaths, primarily in Haiti, which was already trying to recover after the impact of three prior 2008 systems, Fay, Gustav, and Hanna, and in the United States, with many of the deaths taking place well inland. Damages from Ike in coastal areas are estimated at $27 billion (2008 USD). If the estimates are accurate, Ike will be the fourth costliest Atlantic hurricane and third costliest U.S. hurricane of all time.
On the morning of September 13, 2008, the eye of Hurricane Ike approached the Texas coast near Galveston Bay, making landfall at 2:10 a.m. CDT over the east end of Galveston Island. People in low-lying areas who had not heeded evacuation orders, in single-family one- or two-story homes, were warned by the weather service that they may "face certain death" from the overnight storm surge.
Even though there were advance evacuation plans, Mary Jo Naschke, spokesperson for the city of Galveston, estimated that (as of Friday morning) a quarter of the city's residents paid no attention to calls for them to evacuate, despite predictions that most of Galveston Island would suffer heavy flooding storm tide. By 6 p.m. Friday night, estimates varied as to how many of the 58,000 residents remained, but the figures of remaining residents were in the thousands. Widespread flooding included downtown Galveston: six ft (2 m) deep inside the Galveston County Courthouse, and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston was flooded.
On Bolivar Peninsula, Texas dozens of people were rescued as flood waters exceeded 12 feet (3.7 m) above sea level in advance of the hurricane. The peninsula bore the brunt of Ike's right-front quadrant, historically the worst part of a hurricane, and experienced catastrophic damage with the worst being between Rollover Pass and Gilchrist, Texas - west of High Island. Media estimates of lost homes exceed 80% and could top 95%. A large number of people who did not evacuate in advance of the storm remain unaccounted for.
As a historical comparison, on September 8, 1900 the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 landed along a path similar to Ike's, bringing with it a storm surge that inundated most of Galveston Island, then Texas' largest city and a major U.S. port. As a result, much of the city was destroyed and at least 6,000 people were killed in a few hours. Engineers subsequently increased the average elevation of the island by 4 feet (1 m) and constructed a 17-foot (5 m) seawall to block incoming waves.
Gahhh! Even President George W. Bush made
an emergency declaration for Texas in advance of Hurricane Ike!
Stupid Kenny Yew still did not evacuate!!!
His cousin even invited FRIENDS over to play POKER.
WhatTheFuck -_-
I don't even know which part of Texas.
Doesn't wna tell me his address or phone number!
Rawrrrrrrrrrrrr.
See this: Kenny Yew, You Suck! D:
In case of an emergency like this,
and you can't come online,
there is no way of contacting to check if you're alright!
You better surrender your address and phone number
when you're back! >:{
which I'm believing, hoping and praying like mad for you!
Don't make me waste my precious tears for nothing
I don't even know why tears fell when I was reading the info
on Hurricane Ike ._.
You better come back and scold me for saying you suck!
Even though you won't be reading this now,
but you willl be, in the near future.
And you will know how friends like Ronnie, Dine and Me care so much~
Even though we never even met
and you kept teasing me.
I've already acknowledged you as a Real Brother.
Don't be too touched when you read this (:
I love you and I know you love me too~
Love as in sister-brother love :3
Stupid kor, don't put yourself in danger ever again!
WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO EVACUATE!
YOU BETTER EVACUATE!
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
@(&#^*!%*%$#*!
RAWRRRRRRRRR.
Now I'm having mixed feelings D:
Sad, Worried and Pissed!
Worried about your safety,
Pissed at you for not evacuating
Mostly sad, but I believe in God.
You'd be alright and we'd crap like old times.
Just a sudden random thought,
Hurricanes are sooo scary!
I never knew that until I checked it up ._.
Will be back to blog when neccessary.
Ending off with this song dedicated to the victims of Hurrican Ike~
The Prayer
By Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion
I pray you'll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise,
in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to the place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
La luce che tu dai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
La forza che ci dia
We ask that life be kind
È il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sè
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
I believe that you'd be alright,
and I'd smile from my heart again ♥
♥♥♥
