Hurricane season is upon us and most stations are talking about hurricanes from the past.   They forget to mention Alilcia.  Alicia was the third depression, first storm, and the only major hurricane of the 1983 hurricane season.  It struck Houston and Galveston.  It caused over two billion dollars in damages and killed 21 people.  I remember that day so vividly.  I lived in an apartment off the katy freeway, right over buffalo bayou.  We had a tree fall on our stairwell that blocked our exit.  The bayou was filled to the rim and boy was it scary. 

Does anyone else remember that day?
