However, farther north, they got nothing. We are in a drought so I was really happy about the rain we got and so was my lawn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354299078292553141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-54059509814870877582008-07-25T11:07:00.000-05:002008-07-25T11:07:00.000-05:00Glad you're well.

I've seen a category II come in and do very little damage, and I've seen a tropical storm (not even a category I) devastate Houston. (Remember Allison?)<BR/><BR/>That being said, the levee situation is indefensible.Brave Sir Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885043536453757210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-33121730591433959352008-07-24T14:20:00.000-05:002008-07-24T14:20:00.000-05:00I have relatives in Texas and Mexico and was very ...I have relatives in Texas and Mexico and was very concerned.<BR/>I am more concerned, however, that such a relatively low-powered storm need invoke such fear; am I wrong to think it is because the infrastructure is so failing folks it should be supporting?<BR/>So relieved to hear you and yours are well, still trying to reach friends of my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-28361604289462524172008-07-24T12:09:00.000-05:002008-07-24T12:09:00.000-05:00What dcup said!
