Oh, good. I’d hate to see that go missing. It explains why Texas built the Seawall in the first place - without need for words.

Never again if we can help it. (This does not include those people who were too stupid to leave when they were told to and were given every chance and aid to leave if needed.)

It’s also a good reminder to every emergency planner in Texas as to *why* we plan and the price of getting it wrong.

Two oil rigs have broken loose from their moorings off Louisiana - KHOU/TXCN/AP Wire.

Well, most Texans will do what they damn well please sometimes in spite of the greatest intentions or the dire warnings of others. We will no, however, blame other for our decisions.

That said, the excess of some of these warnings does bother me. People will become complacent,not have any confidence that things like the traffic jams of Rita have been fixed, and flatly refuse to move.

This does not pertain to the idiots doing YouTube vids in the middle of the storm or the example Mom used with us, those that partied at the Richelieu during Camille.
