News: Exclusive-Report on Ike, By Doug

Filed under: Disaster Response,News,Texas — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 8:33 AM

     I will shut up, and let this report speak for itself.  I have not heard of any casualty reports yet. As for the refineries and the price of gas, I am not too sure.  I know the fear of these refineries being damaged, totally jacked up the price of fuel across the country. Yesterday, I filled up at Coscto, just to get some fuel before the prices possible go nuts.  The current price we are paying for unleaded is $ 3.69 a gallon, as of yesterday. –Head Jundi

There may be job opportunities down here after all. 

 

Ok ive talked with many of my buddies in houston who have been networking with family & friends.

 

So far this is what we have.

 

Downtown houston & the Medical center have power.

 

Power is out from the outside of the downtown area to at least 40miles North West & South

the claim of 4million without power is entirely believable.  Will know more later.

 

Now we dont know regions. All i know is at about a total of 10-12 homes in these areas the neighborhoods are without power. Most live in surburbia.

So is it just a neighborhood or literally a blackout in 40mile radius from downtown is unknown.

 

Flooding is minimal. only places that flooded are places that always flood.

wind damage – i wont say extreme yet but i will say there i A LOT of it.

 

Due to massive damage & electrical crews out which were sent to New Orleans for gustoff it will be weeks, before everyone has ppower.

 

Good news..storm surge maxed at 10-12 feet.

Tonight tomorrow high will be 90+ degrees with 100% humidity..really sux for folks down here, BUT there is a cold front coming through sunday night. So it will help a lot of the misery.

 

Houston is right on the coast.  There is a concern about mosquito bourne disease spreading.  This area is heavily sprayed with insecticide from trucks.  All that stuff has now beeen washed & blown away.  Without power folks will have doors & windows open day & night. which mean bug bites.

News: Armor Group Employee Saves Afghan Boy

Filed under: Afghanistan,Medical,News,Texas — Tags: , , , — Matt @ 11:24 AM

 

A Texan’s quick action saves tough Afghan boy

By LISA FALKENBERG
2008 Houston Chronicle

Two thoughts pulsed through Bryan Mikus’ mind as he assessed the screaming,
bloodied 10-year-old boy curled in the fetal position in the Afghan clinic.

First he cursed the land mines. Then he cursed fate. “Not a kid, man,
anything but a kid.”

What the 35-year-old civilian paramedic from Humble did next won’t earn him
any medals. As a medic and team leader for a security contractor, the Army
reservist and former Marine won’t be eligible for military commendations.

But his actions helped save the life of one little herdsman, who was chasing
an errant goat when the animal tripped an old Soviet land mine that had
waited more than two decades to unleash its blast of shrapnel.

The events, described to me by Mikus and others who were there, happened
weeks ago near the village of Shindand, in Farah province in Western
Afghanistan. Mikus’ company, London-based ArmorGroup, provides security for
contractors converting an abandoned Soviet base into a military training
center for Afghans.

Mikus, a self-described “computer nerd” raised in Boerne, used to fix trader
computers at Enron and was a server administrator at Reliant while working
as an emergency medical technician on the side. He decided to build on his
EMT credentials a couple years ago at Texas A&M and “reinvented” himself as
a medic. (more…)
