What do you suppose would be going on at this hour if this was happening in New Jersey?

I don't understand the question.

What is with the rush to buy bottled water. I've gone thru many a hurricane prep and never even thought of buying bottled water. Yes, I made sure I had plenty of water on hand, but I didn't purchase a single bottle of water. Yesterday I made a trip to the hardware and when I checked out the cashier was surprised that I didn't buy any water.

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 for your loss. Lola had a good long life thanks to you.

If you have a bath tub, then you have water.  Duh.   Don't people fill their bathtubs with water in preparation for a hurricane?

LOL! It's crazy!  They are going to get more free water than they can possibly use and there they are running out to BUY water!

I don't think you would want to drink the flood water....lots of things in there to make you sick.  I advised my Texas family to buy a good filter at a sporting good store.  Then you can drink the water no matter how dirty or polluted

I'm not suggesting that anyone go out and dip up water out of their yard and consume that but the water that falls into your container directly from the sky is perfectly fine for that purpose I think!

May 2015 we got 9 inches of rain in a few hours. Medina Lake got filled up and Route 16 was closed in several spots as the river flooded. The only problem was a lightning strike to the pole that supplied electricity to a few of the houses. Bandera Co-op couldn't get across to fix it for 27 hours. My husband couldn't get home from work and slept in his truck.  I hated being alone. That is my worry. We should weather a lot of rain just fine. Not much of a pioneer, I'm afraid. We may be getting a generator. When we built the house we put in a set-up for it.

Prayers for those in the path.

As long as you collect it appropriately   You don't want water running off your roof etc....

Please stay safe!  I know not your first rodeo but the next week does not look like a lot of fun.  Please update how it is going from time to time if you get the chance.

Harvey now has Maximum sustained winds of 110 MPH which is 1 mph below Cat 3 status.  And it's pushing a LOT of water in front of it!

I have stuffed as many water containers into my freezers as they will hold. After hurricanes blow thru. The 2 major commodities are ice and fuel.

Charles Grassley can go to hell for his slam against President Bush today.  Bush didn't screw up Katrina.  Blanco did.

Blanco was merely following the orders of her DNC Masters in Washington DC.

Thank God, for Governor Abbott.
