Fortunatly, we here in the southern metro got very little. The folks up north
got clobbered with some places getting over 2 FEET.

Got to wonder if this is to prepare the east coast ports for the expected
super sized ships (neo-Panamax ships) that will use the expanded Panama
canal locks . (third set of locks 180foot wide )

There is some deepening going on in the Delaware River were the TEXAS
is now , but even with out that the channel needs constant attention
or it starts to fill back in with mud . It costs a fortune to keep the
rivers dredged throughout the entire country .
