Report From a Houston Citizen
It is virtually impossible to travel ten miles from my front door. I am compelled to restrict my driving to the immediate neighborhood. The freeways leading out of the city are a bumper to bumper, hair pulling out, torturous experience. I am hearing reports that it takes two hours minimum to drive one mile. How’s that for great gas milage? My family (comprising two adults and nine cats) lives in one of the safer areas of the city. The odds are that we will only endure some heavy rainfall. During the Allison disaster of 2001, our streets were mildly flooded. At the worst, we may not have any electricity for a few hours.

That must be a typo, David. Nine cats?
David:
PLease keep us posted on your situation. If we can help in any way please let us know.
Prayers to all.
Mia, Chloe, Belle and Ella (our foundling cats) will be pulling for "the nine". Buster the bulldog and Katie the beagle, too.
You and I need to invest in some veteranarian stock somewhere between Atlanta and Houston.
Good luck David. Keep us posted. Our thoughts are with you.
Gang:
How can the press, etc., blame GWB for this situation? I noticed today that the Texas Gov. specifically has asked for federal troops to assist. They are now staging from Fr. Hood, etc.
Again we have an unprecedented situation (one of the three largest storms on record) headed for major metropolitan areas. Even great interstate highway circulation is not designed to take off all of the cars necessary to move 4mm plus people.
The gloom and doomers are going to be all over this and soon too.
