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.

"The Perfect Storm".........hitting at high tide, a storm surge of
20~25 feet above that and being an extremely large storm with
sustained 100+ mph winds expected to last 10-12 hours.
