June 8th, 2001. Tropical Storm Allison has hit houston and Stalled. It began raining around 5:30 pm and rained on into the early morning of June 9th- Probably not even 12 hours of rain completely flooded the 4th largest city in the country. The link inside shows pictures of the city the morning after. I think the death toll was 17- it's a miracle there wasn't more.
The weirdest thing about this was that my name is Alison. My birthday is June 9th- I had the worst week at work culminating on June 8th. My boss fucked me over royally. Our office building flooded, but no one's house did. Except for my boss. Totally Flooded- She had just bought and remodeled the house and just recieved the special ordered Mercedes Benz she'd waited 6 months for. All lost-
Tell me there is no God or Justice...
