Houston ..... we have a problem.
MSNBC reporting that the ATC in Houston has been evacuated because of smoke.

Not clear if the mean the ground control center/tower for GHWB International or if they mean Houston Center.

2. They sure didn't specify; mentioned Ellington and Hobby, both
no where near IAH. I can see where that will snowball into a mess, and it's supposed to be a wicked bad rainy night, to boot.

3. False alarm
I'm thinking that we're going to see more of this. The ATC system is decrepit. Reagan killed PATCO but never funded the system. We were WAY better off with PATCO. I think this sort of quick trigger evacuation over the "possible electrical smell" in a closed space will be the now-non-union traffic controllers to exercise some control and bring attention to their plight.

I sympathize with them.

4. Isn't it odd that all of a sudden there is a a coordinated group
of terror alerts all across the country. When will bush and his little boys grow up. People are wise to him and rove now.
