My favorite was the quote from the dumbass (apparently emailed in as one of CNN's "iReporters") who said that at first he wasn't worried, but you know, now that there was 4 feet of water at his door and the eye hadn't even made landfall yet, he was thinking he was going to go ahead and put all his electronics on top of his fridge.


Edt: just noticed the number above--there are only 57K residents in Galveston total, and about 40% of those refused to evacuate. But it's still way too many idiots.
