You may be right. @Bigun but personally, I'm a tough broad. :)
I've seen things in my career as a journalist that still keep me up at night but those were man made.  I just hope you and yours are safe from Mother Nature. You are a dear man.

I know that's true and I meant absolutely no disrespect.

Landfall already?  Isn't that about six hours earlier than expected?

Excessive wind warning (a rare call) was issued for Rockport at about 5:30 CDT. This is an indication that the outside of the storm has reached that location. The eye is not yet on land -- assuming it does.

I know.Im just scared for you all- I feel like I did when the hospice nurse told us dad was going to die.

Helpless. I'm praying it goes down to a category one with less than five- six inches of rain.

CNN is just reporting 130 winds when it hits. I'm getting dressed and going to church maybe G- d can hear my prayers better there.

It never fails that these things move more Northward when they approach land!

@Freya I believe that yesterday @Victoria33 said she's up in the D/FW area right now and out of the path of the storm.
@Freya
@txradioguy

Yes, I am north of Dallas.  I own a townhouse in Montgomery County, which touches Harris County on the north.  I won't know if my townhouse and belongings make it through without damage until roads are open to go there and that will be a number of days based on the information I am getting from the Sheriff's Dept. of Montgomery County.  They are sending notices to all of us who are signed up there for notices. They have backup power so their notices are going to keep going to us through and after this storm.  Montgomery County could get 15 inches of rain.  As I get notices, I will post them here so people who live in the Houston area will know what is going on as what happens to Houston, happens in Montgomery County.

I will get an email from Entergy, my electric company there, if power goes off at my house.  That is a given, power is going out.

So, I know @mystery-ak said to keep this relevant, and it will be, but I would to share this:

I left Katy for Sugar Land about noon. Since I got off early, I went to my weekend hangout, the local icehouse, to see what was going on. I made a joke, that " Here comes a Hurricane, and we all sought refuge in a metal garage beer joint".
It got a few laughs.
The people who hang out there, live nearby, but about 6-7  of them have there vacation/retirement homes in places like Seargent, Rockport, Port Lavaca, etc. You could see that some were worried, that what they have worked for, may be gone, or severely damaged, when this all plays out.

They kept a stiff upper lip, but you cold see it in their expressions.

Makes me want to drive to the coast, stick out my middle finger and say, "Screw you, we're from Texas", but I probably should stay put.
