Congressional approval and matching local funds are still needed. A&M officials say the investment is well worth it to protect about 6 million people and prevent $100 billion in damages from a direct hit. “The Ike Dike would work, I am sure of it,” Merrell said in a news release. “If you stop the storm surge at the coast, you protect everyone – Galveston, Houston, everybody. “Obviously this is a very busy and probably record-breaking season – I believe it’s the fifth above-average season in a row. There are theories that suggest that in the future, we might get more major hurricanes and that there are now many more intense rainfall events. Also, there is evidence that many storms are slowing down as they approach the coast – more flooding and longer duration surges. The flooding threat is getting worse and worse.” Remember the Alamo Operators of the Alamo are looking for the public’s support to preserve Texas’ historical landmark. Texans are being urged to contact their lawmakers on behalf of the Alamo Plan, which would preserve the Alamo Church and Long Barrack, reclaim the historic battlefield, relocate the Cenotaph and build a new visitor center and museum. The renovations are projected to cost $450 million and are being sup- ported by the city of San Antonio and the nonprofit Alamo Trust, which is overseen by the Texas General Land Office. As part of the plan, Alamo officials are seeking a permit from the Texas Historical Commission to allow for disassembly, repair and reassembly of the Cenotaph 500 feet from its existing location. The commission meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 22, but details are not yet confirmed. Some politicians and others have opposed the renovation plan and, in particular, the relocation of the Cenotaph, a 60-foot-tall monument added to the site in the 1930s. “The Alamo walls need your support if they are to continue to stand,” THE ECONOMIST By Dr. M.
