Stay safe and dry Texas people.

Now if it get too bad will you be able to send the people who came to your area after Katrina back?

Any of you ever see the damage Katrina did?? I sure I have posted about my deal there a couple months after it happened.....the thing that was most impressive was all the trees on north edge of I10 all snapped off about 3-4' from the ground, and that one tree that was in middle of a twister, and the trunk was snapped off much higher, like 10' or so...and it was fractured out like it was a palm tree, and curved around on the way up like a drill bit spiral.....

Well, this is certainly going to be interesting. Our flight back lands in Houston at 5pm on Saturday. I imagine we will get an update tomorrow, if the airline decides to do anything.

Check thier websites now. Most will post 48-72 hours in advance their policy changes. You most likely can reschedule today VS waiting for htem to tell you that you are screwed.

have a sister in Katy. map shows they are above the 100 year flood level. but the last large hurricane happened before their neighborhood was built. so no idea how things will drain.

she's a smart cookie.

Tony,
If you decide to get out of there, you have a place to crash in Dallas.

Stay safe.
