Is anyone in SFO and taking a picture of the EK A380? It's headed to LAX at 10am CST.

I hear Eddie is rather weak. Any reports from our resident IAHers hunkering down for the morning? I haven't talked to my fiance yet, as she has the day off from work because of the storm. I don't think she's blown away... yet.

It is really nothing more than a summer storm....although the local media did a wonderful job of hyping it as something much more ominous.
Granted, this miniscule storm didn't stop a majority of Houstonians from cowering under their beds in a puddle of urine this morning... |
For a city that gets a lot of severe thunderstorms, I am very surprised to hear some of what is going on down there. Offices closing? 75% of drivers staying home? A little overkill for a TS, no? ;)
EDIT: Post 1500 for me. :) |

Let's put this way, from someone who lives inside the Loop and works in the Galleria area:
Traffic is probably only 25% of what it normally is. My office, which did not close, only has about 7 people on my floor (usually have around 35), and from when I arrived at 7:10 until 8:03, I was the only person here. It is really nothing more than a summer storm....although the local media did a wonderful job of hyping it as something much more ominous. However, I did get to discover this morning that my windshield wipers are no longer working properly---they either go super-fast or not at all, and I can't control which speed I get. :( There are five of us in the office today and we're out west past the Beltway. I live in the Heights and got on 10 this morning and was amazed, I could do 65 mph with no problem! Also, I-10 eastbound from just inside the Beltway into downtown is almost completely open. The only lanes left are the HOT/HOV ones. |

There are some YouTube videos out there from the first time it landed at LAX - looks incredible from that location. |

If Houston businesses closed everytime there was a chance of the roads flooding, I don't think that many businesses would ever open for business.
