Rapid response

No ride today as we are preparing for a possible rapid response to the big storm brewing in the Gulf. We will go if we can get the funding to support us and be able to function most likely in Galveston. Big G may get washed away or a real good flushing. Anyway we will probably spend a week down there looking at breached shore faces and collecting siesmic data and cores from the bottom from our small research vessel. Just hope the storm isn't too damaging for the people there, but I think they are in for some trouble. LA coast is also getting hammered and wish we could help out there but now a state employee for TX and that doesn't fly here. Sucks!
