The last Category 3 hurricane to hit Houston was Alicia in 1983. It blew out glass in the skyscrapers and sent it crashing down on the streets below. Much of the town was without power for days.
We do not need a repeat.

Yep I surfed that one, just after being dismissed from work at the US Army Corps of Engineers.
