Prof. Camille Peres and Prof. Farzan Sasangohar invited Prof. Nancy Cooke to visit Taxes A & M university on May 8th and 9th. Mustafa Demir (postdoc), Chris Lieber (graduate student), and I were fortunate to get to travel with Nancy. Camille and Farzan arranged a wonderful trip itinerary for us for two full days of events. The tornado just made the whole trip an unforgettable adventure. We almost did not make it. The storm in Houston airport canceled our original flight from PHX, and postponed the alternate PHX fight for 5 hours. When we were waiting in the airport without knowing whether we were able to take off that night, we were on the edge of cancelling the trip because if we miss the main events early next morning on the itinerary. The point of the trip would be greatly discounted. Disaster City: A disaster simulation city with various firefighting training facility and earth quake search and rescue facility.
