Once the ground gets saturated, hurricanes have a nasty habit of "popping" huge oak trees out of the ground, roots and all.

Last year a developer had a sub-division called "Twelve Oaks." In the span of 15 minutes it was Nine Oaks. This happened during Jeanne.

Just reported the water infrastructure of the hospital is "breathing" almost to the point of splasing up in the toilets - this is on the 5th floor of the hospital.

After the miss coast and now lake charles the casino industry is going to be hurting. I'm sure McPain will go after the casino industry.

Hm. Now that you mention it, I do believe that he forgot to have that put in the plans when they were drawing up this latest version. Can't imagine how he forgot to include that... \sarc

Oh yeah, I've seen oak trees get laid down by 60 MPH straight line winds in the summer, especially if the ground is saturated with moisture, like a sponge.

This storm has changed course to the west about 20 degrees in the last hour. Houston ain't out of the woods yet.

They were just repeating what they heard on TV. I hear some birds can do that too.
