Anybody see Robert Eckles (TX coordinator for LA relief effort)? Here is a direct quote off my TIVO:

"We have contingency plans in place for this kind of storm here, we drilled this for years, we know that but for the grace of god this could be coming up for Galveston. We had Carl in the 60s, and .. BO breaks in .. "

I saw a list on the prior thread of the things that TX is doing for the State of LA, and wow. At the end of the interview he continues on to describe (as the O cuts him off) parts of the plan including security screening, etc.. Wow they have it together down in the Republic.

Galveston 1900 and Texas City 1947 is forever etched in the minds of Texans charged with emergency planning. Never again isn't just a sentiment for them, it's a promise.
