I’m on a business trip in South Texas, just in time to experience the joy of Hurricane Dolly.
Naturally, there are all sorts of stories in local media hyping the breeziness of the day. For example, consider this ABC report:
Cities and counties in the Rio Grande valley were preparing Tuesday night as officials feared heavy rains could cause massive flooding and levee breaks.
Texas officials urged residents to move away from the Rio Grande levees because if Dolly continues to follow the same path as 1967’s Hurricane Beulah, "the levees are not going to hold that much water," said Cameron County Emergency Management Coordinator Johnny Cavazos.
So, it’s been almost three years since Katrina..and we aren’t being a bit more proactive about levees and storms?
