I left work early and headed north to the ranch.  All good here, up on a hill with water and wine.  Waiting for rain.  Very windy outside.  The roads heading north were brisk, but not terrible.  Not sure how they are now.

A Cat 3 is nothing to play around with especially with the storm surge ya'll are supposed to be getting -- stay safe. It is better to leave the area for awhile then being trapped once the storm hits.

This is going to be a big boost the south central TX economy.  Building Supplies.  Local Carpet, tile, wood selling stores and install companies and undertakers..
When the crying is done there is going to be money to be made.  Good times.

If you are in an area affected by storm surge, Get out of there! Otherwise it is getting awfully late to be leaving. Make sure when you leave shelter, that you are improving your survival chances. Make smart decisions. I got caught by a hurricane on the freeway back in 1971? by getting talked into making a move by Big Sis when it was way too late.
Never again.

The interstates are jammed and backed up for miles.  If you haven't left already I'd hunker down and find beer.  Lots of beer.

    She hasn't responded, and to save my Vanity, I just assumed her 'O'phone is dead, again.
    She moved back to Texas from Kentucky, she doesn't even Vote, hates politics, she'll be Colorado's problem soon.

Governor Abbott is in San Antonio visiting those in shelters. 700 evacuees are in a center. Pets are welcome. Red Cross needs volunteers. Advising people to avoid travel.

250 buses headed south to get more. Staging area in San Antonio which is also expecting a lot of rain and prone to flooding with very little rain.

Back when Hurricane Ike was barreling down on us, my wife and daughter were ganging up on me, wanting to leave.  I would show them the images of freeway gridlock on the TXDOT cameras. We never left.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Raining here, but kind of normal for now. Tried to attach a picture but it was too large, apparently. I'm not too tech savvy, so there is that.

The governor has activated the Nat'l Guard and President Trump has declared 30 counties a disaster.  The lines of communication are open and reservists can be activated under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 if needed in support of relief efforts within local communities.

Update:

More than 700 troops deployed to assist with Harvey threat

At the behest of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, more than 700 members of the Texas Army and Air National Guards, Texas State Guard and the Texas Military Department have been activated and are positioning themselves throughout the state ahead of Hurricane Harvey and its anticipated landfall later this week.

“This is what we train for,” said Brig. Gen. Patrick M. Hamilton, commander of the Domestic Operations Task Force. “And we’re proud to stand beside our civilian partners, first responders and volunteers to serve the citizens of Texas.”

Additional personnel remain on standby to respond as needed.
