I'm imagining some poor schlub who lost everything to Katrina, relocated to Houston after spending several grueling weeks in the Astrodome, just putting the finishing touches on his new house in Houston, shaking his fist at the sky and cursing whatever god he usually prays to...

You have to wonder, don't you? The Book of Revelations certainly stipulates the existence of fires, floods, storms, and famines at /near / during End Times. Armageddon can be translated as "the unveiling, the revealing." These are not necessarily bad things. I tend to think of it as the world giving itself that long-needed enema. :wink:

Not sure if Tim_Tex lives in Houston but Poopylungstuffing does.

Galveston was hit hard and so was Clear Lake Texas. Houston, there are uprooted trees that damaged power lines and some residents won't have power for 4 weeks.

I have relatives in a town called Seminole, in the western part of the state, so even though they don't live near the Gulf, it couldn't have been very good for them.

San Marcos is about a 4 hour drive west of Houston.

I think that Ana54 and Adverb live in the Houston area. So do a bunch of other familiar members, but I can't remember who right now.

From what I am hearing, the power may be out for a month, Tim's parents are east of Houston, but Tim is at college in San Marcos

We got some clouds here, but by about noon on Saturday, the sun was out.

I miss Wichita Falls, the town I was in last year.

I got the hell outta dodge, just in time too. I left for my cousins wedding in Burton, MI on Wednesday and it hit Saturday morning. From what I hear, there was only minimal flooding in the bathroom of our house and we have electricity and cable working again.
