I thought he was joking and turned on my TV. Sadly my frriend was not joking. I have been watching a statewide cable news channel and they report that debris has been reported over east and southeast Texas from Tyler down through just north of Houston which covers 12 counties in Texas and areas of Louisiana. Unbelievably, even though the massive warnings about the toxicity of the debris, there have been reports of people walking off with "souvenirs". This is so sad and Joyce and I remember another sad day here in Austin in November 22, 1963. Bobby
