Shana, I don't know the geography of S.E. Texas too well, (but N.W. of San Antonio is the "Hill Country", so there must be some elevation.




Houston is as flat as a pancake... 55ft. elevation.

As you head up towards Dallas (about 500ft. elevation), where the storm is headed, there are rolling hills.

The hill country is way far west of Houston, past Austin and San Antonio, but the storm's not headed that way....

And to continue the geography lesson, the population of metro Houston is 4 million+, not 2 million as suggested earlier...
