    All of Houston residents and areas affected by the Natural disaster are in my prayers, I hope our fellow Schneider drivers families are safe.

    As well as all other affected residents.

    2 refineries are offline. There is a chem plant ne of houston that they think is going to blow. And they've already evacuated a 1.5 mile radius around it. It makes products that must remain cool and their back up generators failed.
    There are report of other plants making statements of releases from their stacks of reportable emissions.

    This is part of the aftermath that I was afraid of.

    Heard a random stat tonight: Last year Seattle totaled for the year (and Seattle 'How's the weather?: Rain.' - Right?) 48".

    Houston in 2 days: 50".

    Factor in ground absorbancy, in Texas there is none... and you're pretty well F'd.
