Currently sitting in a hotel room in south texas riding out the storm with my wife. It's down to a tropical storm now, and I can tell you, it wasn't as bad as many expected. Lot's of rain and some wind this morning. But it looks like it will all blow over later today.
Some folks did lose their roofs. But from what I have read, it looks like no one lost their life. Thank god.

Forget the levees??? Are you crazy or don't you understand what that means.

Think about New Orleans where the stupid people who were supposed to keep the levee's in good condition used the money to build statues and create parks etc. all the while lining their own pockets.
Then of course it was time to blame Bush when the first responders are the local and state governments, and the Mayor said every man for themselves for evacuation because they had not made a plan for where the buses would go.

Forget the levees. When is it making landfall in Crawford, TX?

I was up all night waiting for Dolly and she's just now (11:15 a.m.) making her presence known. Rain, as opposed to sprinkling, is now coming down and the wind has picked up.
I am about 70 miles inland from Brownsville and 10 miles north of McAllen.
The much-touted levees are nothing but piles of dirt, so if they get soaked through, we'll see plenty of mudslides, I guess.
Not looking for much damage, if any, at my apartment complex. Just hope the electric lines aren't blown down.

Seriously? At first I hated the new Propeller too, however, the more I got to playing with it the more I REALLY really like it.
Give it a chance.

Local and State will have to respond first. At least you don't have such idiots that Louisiana had. It is a long drive from wherever the FEMA things are to the southern tip of Texas. Such a little state.
