Watching the news and it sure looks like some of those poor people in Texas
are going to get clobbered.

Also, a 500+ foot freighter, hauling crude petroleum, is dead in the water,
100 miles offshore. *The captain tried to get out of the way of the
hurricane and had engine failure. * Coast Guard attempted a rescue of the 28
crew members, but had to call it off due to high winds and weather.

This may be another major weather disaster in the making. *Hope not, but it
doesn't look good.
