I lived in Houston during Alicia and except for 12 hours without electrcity, in my neighborhood it was a non-event. I remember Carla...who doesn’t?
It was a non-event for us too in LaPorte. We had about 4 inches of water standing in the street and that was about it. There was lots of wind but nothing earth-shattering. Lost power, went to Louisiana (my son was 10 days old), got a phone call when we got there that the power had come back on so we visited a few minutes and drove back home. It was my ex-husband’s first hurricane.
