Well, the very best of luck to you guys (the south side of Houston--where
you're located--will, of course, get hit with the worst of it). I will be
keeping y'all in my thoughts and prayers... Stay safe.

I didn't arrive in Houston til '90, so I missed all the "fun" of Alicia, but
TS Allison was bad enough for me. Tons of flooding, loss of electricity for
long periods of time, airports and freeways shut down for days, etc.,
etc....
