My family dealt with every hurricane along the coast since 1942. I remember as a little boy, maybe 6 or 8 years old running from a storm that came through in the Freeport, Texas area where I grew up. Carla (1961) put 3" of water in my home in Freeport. Is it any surprise that Dianna and I chose not to stay in Houston after retirement? We lived on the southeast side of Houston for 30 years. Every storm that threatened required us to climb over 1.5 to 2 million people to get out. Rita finally demonstrated how impossible it had become. I have great empathy for all who chose to live along the Gulf Coast.
