CNN has covered this West explosion story extensively..I live in Waco so I watched this news on every channel I could..Cable news really carried this.
My local NBC station carried it overnight..
I saw extensive coverage in Newspapers, too.
Of course today they covered him who shall not be named attending Boston service..He will always get covered...and I managed to miss all but a brief glimpse of him.
Of course they would cover those released videos of possible suspects in terror attack.
Many wonderful people are working , giving and caring for those affected by this terrible explosion. God bless the givers and rescuers helping the people of West.
All they’ve got today is wreckage. They don’t know what they’ve got.
Prayers and waiting, too.
West is a neat little town, love stopping there. Maybe this
weekend I will go spend some money there... if it’s time.
Bigger issue is that bad guys who did Boston are still loose and a continuing threat, whereas we’re all hoping that what happened in Waco is a tragic accident.
Not to mention the cobweb of gas lines that run through virtually every neighborhood in Harris County. Have you seen the maps?
This world is prone to both manmade and natural disaster, always has been, always will be.
Yesterday, they were guessing.
Today, sadly, they are counting.
Haven’t looked at any maps of the area but you are right - there is simply no way to be disaster free so I choose not to worry about it.
I am sure no one envisioned even 20 years ago that Harris County would house so many people and cover so many miles so everything was just kind of hooked on in something of a mish mash pattern. I am a supporter of zoning and that is certainly something that does not exist in our part of the world. Seems like Houston is always on the quest for additional areas to annex for the purpose of increasing their tax base without necessarily considering what it will cost to maintain the infrastructure.
I like being close to but not in the city and have moved to the suburbs along with what seems like half of the rest of the world. Growing pains abound everywhere you go. Hate to think what is going to happen if amnesty passes.
