Folks

Let us know if you guys need anything

Maybe we can FedEx things to those of our friends affected.

I need prayers that my trees hold up. I needed all of them thinned, but especially the big one in the front yard. Tree trimming is costly, so I can't get that done. I've been holding my breath for a couple of years, but it looks like my luck has finally run out. Bummer. I don't want to lose my trees, and I really don't want to lose them + my roof (and perhaps my or my dogs' lives). The high winds and the wet ground are making me nervous. Please pray that they'll hold on.

Landfall is beginning now in Rockport.
(Per KTRK TV - Houston)

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

   Our City Council (NB,TX) is going to pay $250,000 to clean the rivers up at the conclusion of this season, which is theoretically over, anyway. Next weekend, Labor Day will find very muddy rivers and mosquitos to rival Florida.

   My Point: The River is about to get a natural cleaning that it doesn't receive, often enough.

What kind of trees?  Some are better at staying upright than others.

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

Bumper to bumper.....turnpike and parkway

We survived Sandy. We survived Corzime and Christie. We are strong stuff. Maybe not as strong as Texas with the Alamo, but I think we are strong

Yes!  The Weather Channel just confirmed this.  But outer bands are coming in now.

@Freya I love you but that storm wouldn't even have made the news had it happened in Texas.  Nothing compared to what is currently headed for Texas. The difference is that we are quite used to dealing with such things and you folks are not.

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.
