You should put in your pontoon and motor on down to Ruddo’s house to make sure it’s ok. |

Houston's freeways were specifically designed for flood mitigation. The Carolinas, not so much. |

I disagree. They are gone forever and from now on all transportation in the south will be via low draft boats. |
