Missed Texas by 500 miles? I think not. I was in Houston. Worst
place on earth. I most definatly did NOT miss Texas.
And I wouldn't have been any happier had it hit DC instead. I live
there, as do several million people who weren't elected to anything
(including dubya).
If you could localize the storm to a box bounded by D & 2nd SE and H
and 17th NW, I'd be ok with that. Oh, and take out Georgetown too
while you're at it.
