You should check out the KHOU link to the computer model that predicts what various storm surges will do to Houston. It's scary even when there ISN'T a storm in the Gulf.
I'm due to buy a house on the 30th. Bet the sellers are antsy. I know I can't close if there's a storm in the gulf, but it should be all over by then, and if it's damaged... too bad.
Thanks. That's what I am doing right now.
