A Different Ike Perspective

From the AP:

Ray Wilkinson, 67, didn’t want to leave Friday until it was too late. When authorities realized he was there, they decided not to endanger their personnel to get him out of town.

When authorities got to him Saturday morning, Wilkinson was drunk.
“He kinda drank his way through the night,” Davison said.

Wilkinson was waving when officials got to the house.

While this storm is no laughing matter, its comforting to see somebody smiling in the wake of all the devastation. Our continued prayers go out to all those experiencing Ike's wrath.
