    I saw a pic on a predominate news site the other day that was clearly fake. A big alligator head was peeking above the water in a neighborhood street. The problem was that the water wasn't even over the curb. C'Mon Man!

    Fish, consider yourself lucky.    These little bastards are the bane of anyone (especially drunk - don't ask) in some parts of the south.

    They hurt like hell then burn then itch.

    I would have paid money to see that =)

    Wasps and bees are worse than the ants.  You rarely only get one ant bite.

    My daughter just relocated to her apartment in Houston and everything is dry and OK.  She doesn't start back to class until next week so she is going to see where she can volunteer her time to help some who weren't as fortunate.
    That is great news!! Good for her!

    Fake news, but awesome fake news.
    Is that the new vogue term for satire? 
    Now that real news is called fake news I don't know what it is.
    Fake news is anything you don't believe. Duh!

    You are lucky!  Bee bites hurt waaayyy less than bee stings.

    You guys are reminding me of the time when I discovered that as a 6'3" 13 year old I could bump my head on stuff.  Including that wasp nest on my great aunt's porch.  I got stung by a few dozen of them.  The baking soda seemed to help...

    I should be back in town mid-day on Friday. Have her give me a holler if she needs anything.

    Will do.  Thanks @20stone.  I think she's good.  As a recent A&M grad she has a number of Aggie friends in the area that have already connected with her, but it is good to know that you and @20stonespice are nearby.   I know not to rely on @caliking for anything.  He's too busy smashing his Rockwood to dust to try to make it not float so he can use it for sandbags.

    My buddy Scott who joined us for the last AWSS has some employees at the two hotels that he manages in Houston who have lost everything.  He's making a list of their needs and I'm going to have my daughter acquire some stuff at my expense and deliver it to help them out.

    Surprised how close this new record is to the previous record which was set during a storm in 1978.

    It's a fluid number while the storm is still here.
