I'm glad you're okay.
Yup, I was pretty smart to move to Houston after Hurricane Rita and
leave a few months before Ike...:)
Houston is a place where pretty much anything you want to do can be
done (within theoretical limits)...but, you will be stuck in traffic
for at least two hours before you get there. Build a drainage system
that can move water off the roads during a storm, stop worshiping the
Astros, & move a million or so people out (and not towards Katy...that
would be worse) and I'll think of moving back...:)
Ken - who now only has to deal with tornados on an everyday
basis...cool...:)

One of the things I would love to do is chase tornado's. How what can I
say.... I love the rush of danger...lol
