I'm in Houston, and have been "wishing" the hurricane elswhere. Even though it would be bad for whomever it might move to, nothing can be worse that it hitting as huge a city as Houston. All roads leading out of Houston are now parking lots.
Haven't gotten around to the oil/gas map, so I don't know if it's worse or better now for that.
We've been wondering about just how many people are leaving Houston. We have a business gathering with someone from there and are almost certain that this mess means she's going to be too busy to even think about the event. That's our assumption, anyway.
