what do you think the effect will be to galveston

Yes it's me again. Once more trying to let people know that we can stop/kill off the base of hurricanes using known technology. Of course the upper level storms will still survive to deliver rains which probably could cause flooding, BUT I would think that NOT having a 20 foot base surge OR Tornado spin-off winds that cause the most damage would be a fair trade off. I would think 3-5 Billion to emplace a system in the Gulf would be a mere pittance compared to what we spend weekly in Iraq. It would probably save more lives in the long run too. But hey! we all have our own opinion on things and as long as I have even just one toe to type with I will continue my campaign to push this to the very halls of Government. It has already been deemed possible to do by scientists,unfortunately politicians are an entirely differant breed. I have contacted several major oil companies and they didn't seem the least bit worried that their $50Billion platforms will go floating off over the horizon. I won't bother repeating what all the insurance companies say.
God Bless and have a good day.

Okay so what is the effect if any, should Galveston have to worry about. Are we expecting anything with water levels rising. I lived by the bayou. Just curios! Wondering if I have any worries

Apparently people on the local news and weather here in the Houston area are either not from here or they are suffering from morbid fascination because when any disturbance arises in the Atlantic, it is like the news media intensifies the situation and to the point where they have people running from Houston like roaches like when we were threatened by "Rita"... the news media shares a lot of the blame and responsibility for the deaths that came about in that flurry of traffic where people were on the highway simply running for their lives!!! It is almost like the media wants a tragedy to happen resulting from a storm so that they can have a story and possibly gain an award in some egotistical merit... like the stupid guys that stand in a dangerous storm and be blown down by the wind and rain just to prove his/her self worth...its all phony!!! One other thing, most of the news that these so-called Reporters broadcast is simply tittle-tattle and idle talk about aimless malarkey...It is mostly outrageous!!! All we need to know about the weather is if the following days will be rain or shine and when there is a hurricane out in the Atlantic...we don't need any information on it... if its in the Gulf you may want to tell us where it is headed and if it bypasses Houston, then we don't have to worry... just be thankful and that's the end of it!!! Obviously most of those people that ran from from "Rita" were not from Houston either... We have had threats of hurricanes and we have had a very minimal amount of hurricanes in this area over the past 50 years so why does the media go
