As you can see from this satellite photo from NOAA (see www.ssd.noaa.gov), the hurricane is on the brink of hitting Texas near Houston. But its winds and rain and storm surge are also hitting some of Louisiana.
For the past three years New Orleans has been living on the edge with the threat of hurricanes and tropical storms.
What could happen very soon in Galveston and Houston could be another major national tragedy.
Although this SVDP-ALC blog is mainly about literacy education and related issues of social justice, we find that now we must cover the weather too because the weather during hurricane season in New Orleans is now an issue of life and death.
