May be a period of heavy training rains with the rivers rising but we had just one good soaking all summer so far and did bring flooding . Corpus will get the frontal brunt and Houston the counter clockwise NE side heavy flow. Aug 1980 we were taking a week vacation at Corpus Christi Beach across the bridge while my mom watched Tom. Sandy Shores was a motel type Best Western and we’d a nice unit facing the bay. We watched Allen as it really sped cross the Atlantic to become the biggest Cape Verdi storm ever with lowest pressure recorded. Just kept on a coming right thru the Cuba slot and hit Corpus a giant Cat 5 on 9th and 10th. We left as soon as we could see the bullseye was us and it wiped out the entire beach front vacation home and the Ocean Drive lovely mansions as well. We went back a week later and stayed downtown but the motel unit was filled with sand as was the big pool. Everything got rebuilt much more substantial than before and Sandy Shores became a tower. But the old cheap motel bay fronts were where I taught Tom to surf fish for years instead. Ill winds do blow some good. Build a fire and have some quality time. Sleep at dawn.
Stood in good stead when he was assigned as OB GYN NCO in Charge night time at Keesler AFB Biloxi in 1996. Deliver emergency babies nites and fish for sharks and MS coastal fish in the day.
