Sonny,
Thanks for the memories. I rode out a hurricane in Houston in the mid-80's
and have very similar images. I don't recommend anyone doubt the power of
Mother when she blows. Getting up at 3:00AM and feeling the walls of my home
move a couple of inches everytime the wind picked up is not my idea of fun.
Needing a chainsaw and 4WD to get out on the roads, all of downtown bare of
glass because someone thought that gravel on the top of buildings was a good
idea, flooding everywhere, trees sideways everywhere. Thats why I choose to
live a little further from the coast.
 Good images and good memories.
