Write your name on your arm with a waterproof marker...easier to ID the body.
Tims are rap wear
Unless the looters beat them to it
Doc Martens are coming back too, need to dig mine out of the back of the closet, lol.
Where is old Mayor Nagin now adays ?
Lots of rain, flash flooding, high winds.
Right where the original Whole Foods is/was? I moved to Austin like a week after the floods of 81. We called WF “Whole Floods” for many years after that.

I still remember the old San Jacinto Inn (near the battleship Texas in Houston) which had high water marks from past hurricanes marked on a pillar out front. Long gone now.
You clearly don’t know crap about Katrina.
Is that word Harvey White name or black name ?
Ray Nagin is still in prison. From Wikipedia - “On September 3, 2014, a judge deemed Nagin indigent and ordered the Federal Public Defender’s Office to take over his appeal. Nagin said he was near penniless and relying on food stamps.[67] Nagin reported to the Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana, a prison camp, on September 8, 2014.[68] Nagin, Bureau of Prisons (BOP) #32751-034, is presently incarcerated at this facility. His earliest possible release date is May 25, 2023.[69]”
I’m surprised they aren’t going after Sam Houston.
Having spent a month in Corpus Christi one day, I think it might be useful for some of those ugly buildings downtown to come down and be replaced with something with a bit more charm.

I thought so it was kinda rhetorical question still being a jerk i see ha ha should have got the death penalty for his incompetence that led to all that death
“Dry 115° is ten times more pleasant than humid 95°. :)”
Amen to that! I spent 40+ years in the heat/humidity - never again if I can help it.
I was in Hurricane Andrew in 1992? in Lafayette LA,its like a Tornado that lasts for a really long time. After we decided to hunker down in the condo (first job working for CONOCO Oil)about 6 hours in we started wondering if we made a mistake staying.
Also, I was in a continuing education seminar, and the first night (Monday) my wife called and said she was worried because they were really hyping it up. We were OKIES, so this was new to us. I called my manager, and he said it was no big deal, some people were throwing their patio furniture in the pool but that was it.
Tuesday morning at 10:30, we got a call during the break, and they said everyone who lives in Lafayette needs to go home and get their family. I drove from Houston on I-10 to Lafayette, and me and 2 other cars were the only ones going East on I-10. It was kind of surreal, because all the traffic headed north to Alexandria was bumper to bumper, looked like some apocalypse movie where 1000s of cars had choked out the freeway to get out.
High sustained, strong winds that last for hours, and flooding. It was really something to see.
One of my aunts lived in CC in 1970-her husband was in the Navy and at sea when Celia was on the way-she was not going to pack up the kids and come to the ranch in SW Texas to stay with us-but she insisted we come to CC to be with her because she was scared-my dad was TDY, so my mom, myself and another aunt packed up the truck and went-that was one hell of a storm-all the roof was leaking, water was on all the floors and 3 windows were broken by flying tree limbs by the time it was done-my aunt had 9 kids from 21 to 6-all but one was there-we were trying to keep the oldest daughter calm-she was 2 years older than me, about 8 months pregnant, her husband was also at sea, and we didn’t really want her going into labor just then...
It was an experience I won’t forget-and don’t intend to repeat, either-I’ll continue to live 150-200 miles away from the coast, thanks...
