3. Watch out for flash floods
I don't know about Houston, but when I lived in San Antonio we would get them when the heavy rains hit.

Underpasses flooded - - all that. Little dirt ditches turn into raging rivers. Catches people off guard all the time.


At least the rain will cool things off.

4. Great, we really need the rain here in Central Texas
but flooding, not so much. I'm in the Austin area, the hill country famous for flash floods. "Turn around, don't drown" indeed. Y'all be safe out there. :hi:

7. maybe from the hurricane winds - but the oil will be still be driven closer to land
Edited on Tue Jun-29-10 02:47 PM by Baclava
Due to the nature of the wind and currents in the big bathtub that is the Gulf, it will slosh the oil even closer inland, everywhere

of course, it could have been much much worse, this time
