Re: [IAB] IETF 92 in Dallas!

Folks, as a Dallas resident I have to let you know that the flooding
we had in 2006 happened after a long period of draught and the rain
was very welcome to the people at that time, may be not so much of it
of course :-).

It was a natural event that happens rarely in Dallas, in fact since
2006, it has not happened again. We do get stormy weather and a few
hour delays in DFW, so far, that's all.

Please do not equate Dallas to floods :-).

Regards,

Behcet

Fond memories of my first IETF... We were stuck at a highway exit for 4
hours unable to either cross the swollen river that had been a side road
minutes before or to go back.


I got to DFW, called the place I was staying (a motel across the street from
the venue) who told me that the water was several feet deep in front, so I
snagged an overpriced room at the airport Marriott for the night.

People also should be aware that Dallas has major transit and highway
work
underway right now in particular North of the airport.  By 2015 (2014
actually), you will be able to take light rail (orange line) from the
airport to downtown:

Somehow it just won't be the same if we don't have to wade through
waist deep water.
