About 45 mins ago the Spectre crew warned all rescue aircraft to avoid the Lake
Houston area. They are saying that an ammonia plant is about to explode near
there. But this was at least 45 mins ago. I am surprised we have not seen or
heard anything on the local news by now.

I think the Spectre is a Pilatus PC-12. Swiss. About $8 million.

I'm looking to buy a good HT. 2 meter band, not much need for a dual band at
this point. Could someone recommend a good one. Kenwood K20A looks good or
maybe a Yaesu or icom ? Suggestions, pros, cons, any experience with these ?
Thanks !!!

Ive been monitoring just the Southwest HPD dispatch during this whole storm
window. We are not seeing it on TV, but burglaries and looting have been
relentless since the water started going down. They are backed up at least a
couple dozen calls this morning. Even the Valero's near Chimney Rock and North
Braeswood has been looted, and it serves as sort of a staging area the police
stay at regularly. I was told that even the Beldens grocery store got looted,
but I have not verified this. Walked the area and saw they have barricaded the
doors at Beldens with stacks of pallets, and a sign on front saying Armed Guard
Inside. Dont even think that it is all peaceful out there. Best Regards,Rodney

Completely legal, but most services have moved to trunking systems on 800-900
MHz. You'll need a trunk tracking radio to keep up, but you can get "bits and
pieces" just by scanning those freqs with an old fashioned scanner (if you have
those bands covered).
It's also legal for police to encrypt channels if necessary, and you'll find
that tactical freqs are often encrypted accordingly. But the vast majority is
open for the public to hear.
This is the radio I have, covers all those systems and more:
