be infected next year. The face of this disease has changed.

Tropical Storm Allison
In a matter of hours, Tropical Storm
Allison dumped three feet of rainwater on Houston. Most of
the damage was concentrated in just 20 zip codes; half of
those households were families and seniors living on $14,000
