We face serious danger from Houston hurricane. I\\u2019m not talking about just any old storm, but one that originates in the Gulf of Mexico, rides up the Houston Ship Channel and destroys our petrochemical complex. Several thousand tanks filled with toxic substances might buckle and spill their contents into the environment. This would poison our area for decades to come.

Let\'s prevent that.

Terence O\\u2019Rourke of the Harris County Attorney explains the threat, why we have no protection in place and what we can do to get us to safety.
