It’s getting pretty bad in town now. We have increasingly strong gusts, a lot of lightning, and horizontal rain. I’m listening to the police scanner and dispatchers are calling officers off the streets and into shelters. “No more calls will be run” is the word in many areas. That’s never good to hear.
Update:
There seems to be some confusion at HPD – The dispatcher reversed the call and is sending officers on code 1 and code 2 calls only. The move to stop running all calls is expected soon but they will resume running calls as the eye passes over.
