MORE HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE

The subject hurricane never actually achieved hurricane status, but the local press would not let a little matter like that stand in the way of trying to generate more fear among the local populus. The storms arrived somewhat meekly about 90 miles north of the hoped for point (the media was hoping for a direct hit on Houston), the winds are not too bad, and there is some well needed rain associated with the system. After finally admitting that all their hype was wasted due to lack of cooperation of SJL(E), they did manage to point out that there was still the possibility of tornados spinning off the main system, so they still managed to keep hope alive for a total disaster. Channel 11 had one of their reporters (actually a male) in front of my place of business this morning, and I visited with him briefly and will just say that he readily admitted how stupid it is to stand out in the rain and tell the camera that it's raining, but that's his job. Bed time now, so more later. Can't wait for the next disaster in waiting (besides global warming).
