    This is going to be exponentially worse than Katrina and New Orleans in terms of damage costs, loss of commerce production, and recovery time.

    But, this is the type of event required to get much of that cash tied up and accumulating on Wall Street the last 10 years, back to Main Street.

    Hugo and Andrew were the worst hurricanes I've ever knew of. Katrina wasn't that strong of a storm as those. But we shall see how Harvey turns out in the amount of damages

    And as the heavier rainfall starts to move northward, that water will just flow back down into the same areas currently dealing with flooding. But next, we can expect flooding in the east Texas region, as well as along the Sabine, Neches, and Trinity rivers and tributaries potentially flooding Orange and Beaumont areas.

    Fuuuu,,,,,!!!

    I usually don't get out to Texas, company keeps me bottled up in the NE, but I just delivered two construction projects in May and I wonder how they faired?

    I know one was on the west side of Houston somewhere and the loading dock area was below street level, I imagine that must be a nice lake right about now.

    Would be interested to hear from anyone at the truck stops in Orange, TX or Beaumont right now.
