[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] The last winter storm we got in the Houston area was in February 1997. Major ice storm that shut down the entire area for about five days. We haven't had a bad winter since then. We're due for a major ice storm pretty soon as well. On the other hand, I'm more worried about the Houston area's lack of a major hurricane hitting us. Sitting aside the devastating effects of the torrential rainfall from Tropical Storm Allison this past June, the last hurricane to hit us was Hurricane Alicia back in 1983. Since then, all we've had is a couple tropical storms (the aforementioned Allison that directly hit Houston and Frances back in 1998 that hit halfway between here and Corpus Christi). We are really on borrowed time for a hurricane here. The past week has been nothing but thunderstorms here. Some areas have gotten as much or more rainfall from these storms than from Allison. Some of the homes flooded the first time around got flooded again from just these showers. ::shrug:: [/QB][/QUOTE]
