Then you were close to where I was in Alica, I was off 81st.
They are threatining again that this storm will “overtop the Seawall”. Has not happened in 100 years.
Frgds, 3/M
Me, Ashton Place, a townhouse in the 6900 block of Weis in those days. Built like the proverbial masonry outdoor facility. The motel I mention was originally a Holiday Inn, it has been about twenty different names since. Just below the dog track on the west side of 45. It had not been open for much more than a week when Alicia hit. DPS and NG found us (all who had stayed there) with fresh hot coffee, and cold cuts for breakfast in the lobby, thanks to management about 8AM after Alicia. They (DPS/NG) decided it would be a great place for their "command post". With that, many of us "residents for the night" used our "camaraderie" with DPS to beat the traffic back onto the island that afternoon. If you are still on the island, best of luck 3M. Again, my prayers for Bolivar and the Golden Triangle, but I really hope this thing goes north at the last moment. For the country as a whole, TC and HSC does not need a direct hit.
