Are you in 'lockdown' yet?

Waiting room in our emergency room - EMPTY. Last shock room case arrived 
at 9:00 PM - car wreck victim with fx and a sub dural hematoma. 
Ambulances NOT running because the box of the patient compartment catches the wind 
and will turn over with winds of >65 MPH. In-hospital teams divided 
into two groups - Sleep group and work group. We will get no new patients 
before 6 AM. Hospital is like a week end or holiday day, except a lot of 
administrators whose physiology has never seen a hospital at night. 

Winds are high, Rain is sideways. Fires & Flooding in Galveston. No 
Flooding in Houston (yet). 

The hurricane is still 2 hours out in the gulf and has a wide "eye". 
Winds at eye are 110 mph . A category 3 storm begins at 111 MPH. 

Over 400,000 homes in Houston without electrical power.
