I seriously doubt that he will be working Monday: almost all the buildings
here in downtown Houston are closed Monday, and many are closed indefinitely
(including the one I work in). Apparently the subterranean basements
(usually 3-4 levels or so) filled with water very rapidly and there are
still many cars (hundreds?)trapped in the garages down there; there are
probably bodies in a few of the cars, too.
