we live not far from Jim Hogg Road.

Poor Ima. I read she was named after a heroine in a poem her uncle (father's brother) wrote. I doubt that consoled her.

I think she cried all the way to the bank. Do you know about "Bayou Bend" and other of her philanthropies and indulgences?

It will be interesting to see how soon outside responders are able to get to the affected coast.

I predict it will take 72 hours to get large scale forces in place.....pretty much the same as the 72 hours after the levee break (or after the report of the levee break) in N.O.

Saw Grand County Colorado sending 3 ambulances down I-25 today, they'll wait out the storm in Ft. Worth, and then go in. It could be a very long drive.
