With its flood defenses strained, the crippled city of Houston anxiously watched dams and levees Tuesday to see if they would hold until the rain stops, and meteorologists offered the first reason for hope — a forecast with less than an inch of rain and even a chance for sunshine.
The human toll continued to mount, both in deaths and in the ever-swelling number of scared people made homeless by the catastrophic storm that is now the heaviest tropical downpour in U.S. history.Five million people in the metropolitan area. Five deaths directly related to the flood?

Parallel Universes
And I'm living in one, a parallel universe. Apple wants to sell 4K movies for $20 in iTunes, while film studios want $25 to $30.
See the comments at the linked article.
My comments:
- 4K has been around for about a decade
- wait a week or two and one can buy the Blu-Ray for $19.99 on Amazon with all the extras, and better quality than streaming off iTunes
- wait two weeks and the movie will be on cable
- wait a month and it will be free almost everywhere
- there is so much content now, I can't even begin to keep up; several seasons of the following yet to watch (and re-watch)
- Boyle's War
- Sherlock (Kumberbatch)
- VEEP
- Miami Vice
- Columbo
- $7.50 for a movie is $3 too much

Hauntingly Haunting
I did not really care for most of this video until the top three and the honorable mention. My wife would agree about #1 -- very, very interesting back story.
