Same wishes for safety to all here - my parents are still in the Clear Lake City area and stayed put. 28" and counting - those streets are still passable with no issues as of early this evening.

Hey Leon, I suspect you're talking about either tropical storm Claudette or Danielle - came ashore and sat for a couple days in the late 70's if I remember right. Alvin (and maybe Dickinson) were a complete mess after that...
