Let's try Again

The danger of the Texas floods is that many people could be found dead as the waters recede from the neighborhoods around Houston. Unlike Katrina, there was some time to attempt rescues. Thousands were rescued, but multiple feet of water could be hiding a larger tragedy.

Even though damages are predicted to be in the hundreds of billions, things can be replaced. If only 39 people died due to the storm, it would be truly amazing. Unfortunately, it will be another month before we learn the true cost in dollars and human life.
