The guys on the Weather Channel have said that they are in Storm Alert which is a very rare event.

I'm worried folks.

Truly worried!

Folks are stuck on the highway doing about 7 miles per hour.

I'm worried that they will be stuck on the road when the storm hits.

People were told by the Houston radio stations not to take I-45 North but to head West on I-10 and eventually to I-35 out of San Antonio.

Oh dear!

I wish the cable news stations would stop talking about Palin and start talking about the 4th biggest city in the USA heading for trouble.
