Are looking at Hurricane Harvey. How as a weekly did we plan for this coverage . We were going to wait to see what the storm was like because when we were planning over the weekend, the storm had not hit. By sunday it was clear that it was a huge disaster. Peter was back from vacation, he is an economist and he can take almost any story and look at the economic angle but also a human angle. He was perfect for this. There is another story. Chris has been doing work with fema and reporting on National Building codes and how a place like houston and texas in general are allergic to building codes. The combination of those two, the economy in houston and how things are put together, the cando attitude, but, lets do anything we want to do, and how this patchwork of Flood Control came together, and then there is this attitude about building codes. We dont like building codes. Carol ive got a lot of family in texas and i love them dearly, but they do things their own way. [laughter] oliver i
