Herein lie my notes from the pen and paper journal I kept during the storm. I'll probably censor some of the family stuff, but you can all read my rants about everything else.

wow, a bit scary but glad you guys made it with your minds mostly intact. =D Thanks so much for sharing this, going off to read the next part.

So I'm clear, the area you live in is mostly hispanic? Sucks about your area being last to receive services and not getting information on such things.

Our neighborhood is mixed race, there's a very large Vietnamese community, as well as hispanic, white, and black.
The general SE region has a lot of hispanic folks, I'd say - I mean, Houston as a city is practically bilingual everywhere, and there are plenty of pockets of immigrants all over the place who would not be turning to English first.
But yes, I think the areas over here on the SE side have a large enough hispanic population that they would be turning first to the Spanish-language stations.
Who knows for sure?
