Is a Category 2/3 Hurricane the Apocalypse?
If so, more unseasoned Yankees must live on the Gulf Coast than when I lived in Texas.
Not that a Category 2 is a fun thing, but I've waded through water in the Houston's West Village after a freak afternoon thunderstorm as deep as what I'm seeing on CNN. The picture may change. Things could get worse. Then again, maybe they won't.
I mean, they're currently predicting 6-12" of rain in Houston. Big whoop - all the underpasses* will flood and some people will foolishly drive through them and drown. This form of Darwinian culling happens every year.
*perhaps you ask why one builds underpasses in Houston? Hell if I know. I just know that every time there's a really big storm they flood and that some people believe their cars are magic and can just zip right through shoulder-deep water.
I stand corrected - if it moves as slowly as predicted it will dump a lot of water on Houston. See the comment.
