Just north of Austin here... according to the 6pm local news, the official weather service forecast has us getting 5"-7" of rain. But that all depends on the storm track... could be much less, could be much more, won't know until it hits land I suppose.  :shrug:

   My X just called, very concerned, that I moved her on the Guadalupe River in Seguin, She thought it safer to ride out Harvey at my place, I reminded her she lives in a second floor apartment, she may call back tomorrow and explain hanging up on me.

Imagine the good times, riding out the storm with the current and the ex staying at your place. :)

   She actually is BOTH, right now, X and current, when her Mom and Dad passed and she moved back to Texas (June), she ran the other Females here off, like a dog marking it's territory.
   I moved her 20 miles south to Seguin when I realized that pile of ashes will never burn as passionately as it did before.
   She did me a great favor cleaning up some loose ends, but I'll never tell her that.

Don't worry, we will have Forrest on it pronto.....



Speaking of, I offered to have them tie me to the rig so I could do my Lt. Dan impersonation.  But they wouldn't go for it.



Instead, caught a ride to San Antonio and booked a flight out.

4:00 AM forecast track

www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/092407.shtml?cone#contents

the forecast basically has the storm coming in early am  Saturday, then stalling 2-3 days around Victoria.
Victoria is approximately 90 miles southwest of Sugar Land.
Gotta figure a lot of rain getting dumped north and west of that.
Hopefully, more in bands with breaks, than steady for 3 days.

7:00 am update coming.

The massive amount of rain over the week is due to the expected stall and track up the coast to Houston.

It looks like I'm out of the hurricane force area and only have to worry about the rains. We made it thru Claudette's 45 inches and Allison's 40 inches without flooding so we should be fine.

I awoke yesterday to discovering that our oldest dog Lola had passed away during the night. It was just her time. She was another stray that we had taken in. The kids think we had her for about 18 years. She was just like the "Traveler's Insurance Dog". All our outside dogs, currently, are females and she ruled the roost. I know that our youngest, Daisy, vies for that spot, but I don't think that her mama, Molly, will go for that.

So sorry, @Elderberry.  That's a rough way to start the day.

So sorry to hear that sad news!  We love our pets as if they were members of the family.

We will weather the storm ok here as long as we don't get a spin off tornado. The 10 to 15 inches of rain expected here won't hurt a thing.

Sorry to hear about your dog.
I have a 14 year old male Beagle now.
His "playmate" was 8 years older, a corgi,  and passed away when she was 17.
His newest playmate is a 7 yr old male  foxhound.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm sorry to here that.  It's heartbreaking to lose a furry member of your family

This does not look good at all.



It looks like it will sit between Rockport and Port Lavaca for 72 hours.  That is a heck of a lot of rain.  Anyone in that area needs to head west.  Seriously.

Not only that but because of its close proximity to the gulf they are saying it won't weaken very much - It could remain at hurricane strength for days or even go back into the gulf and strengthen before landfall the second time in La.

Doesn't matter what Trump does, the press will find something to complain about.

The good news, is that Texas is in good hands with Governor Abbott.

Which is the way it should be.  Disasters are a local problem - not a national one.  Which is why it is important to elect competent leaders like Greg Abbott instead of incompetent ones like Kathleen Blanco.
