Re: watching down the road

Yes, it's hard to believe that it was only about 10 weeks ago we were holding our breath with Emily. Besides breaking weather records, this year's also breaking storm weariness records. For those interested, my son and family are fine as is their home in Houston. He returned yesterday from his in laws in Fort Smith, AR and returned to work at the Barbours Cut Container Terminal this morning at the Port of Houston. Port facilities reopened today to truck traffic and to daylight ship traffic with 35 or less feet of draught. Coast Guard is still checking the Houston ship channel to ensure all navigational aids are working properly and that there are no hazards to navigation. There are dozens of tankers and container ships waiting offshore for the all clear. Looks like he'll be pulling 12 to 16 hour days until things get back to normal.
