I agree. It could work. Though, what *is* the military role, I’d have to research. The TX national guard being different than fed of course. I mean, having the military take over a disaster operation is a whole new ball of wax. It all gets messy since the false uproar after Katrina. Then again, the fed took over Fannie & Freddie and not one liberal hollered about “big lending!” like they do “big oil!” It is all so messed up.

hehe.. I have no doubt you will educate your grandson over time of the importance of a good pair of boots. But for now, “the zoo” is an okay answer I suppose. :)

Video shows flooding on Orange Chemical Road
From staff reports
The Orange Leader

An Orange Dupont employee showed video footage of Chemical Road to The News Editor Roger Cowles - footage that showed nearly five feet deep water along the roadway.

As of Sunday morning, representatives from the industries along Chemical Road in Orange County were waiting for a helicopter to take them on a surveillance flight to assess damage.

Cowles said the video showed a large propane tank - about the size of a minivan - floating freely inside a fenceline. He added that bubbles breaking the surface around the tank indicated a leak.

Railcars on the southside of FM 1006 had water up to the top of the wheels, the video shows and the Honeywell administration building was flooded along with many of the facilities along the road.

Smoke from a flare flowed horizontally through the air, indicating the wind was still whipping through the area.

I was watching that survivor guy last week. He climbed on the back of a gator, killed it and drug it on his back to camp. When I saw the pic I was thinking some Texan is going to be grilling gar tonight!
